Fic: ‘By the click of someone else’s slippers’ [1/7] [NC-17, but not this chapter]

This entry is part 1 of 7 in the series By the click of someone else's slippers

Hello Seasonal Spuffy!! So glad to be here for another year! There are seven parts to the fic I’m hoping to post today, and I’m hoping to get all of them up. Most of them I will have to come back to this evening, but as a taster I have here chapter one to post before work. Thanks to all the mods for running this again and to everyone who’s taking part and therefore likely to keep me entertained over the next few weeks…

As usual, I have no real idea what genre this is: it’s sort of angsty, but there’s something of a comedy element as well and I like to think it’s not actually depressing. It’s at least partly inspired by the rewatch running with fantas_magoria, which has currently got us to the middle of S2. Even though this is set in S6… But, anyway, I hope you enjoy it!! Huge thanks to bogwitch for being my beta and for listening to me swear about the aforementioned S2.

The R Word

I’m not sure what possessed me to write this particular story. Perhaps guilt over my many many Spike-gets-raped stories.

Spuffy. Early season six. Buffy and Spike are into the smoochies but not past that yet, and Giles didn’t leave after OMWF because why on earth would you have Giles leave if you can help it? :P

Oh, and Spike gets raped. Sorry. Spoiler or warning? I’m not sure. Warning for my noncon/bdsm fans: it’s not graphic. Again, sorry.

Fic: ‘Turn and Face the Strain’ 7-15/15 by Quinara [strongish R]

This entry is part 7 of 7 in the series Turn and Face the Strain

Happy free-for-all day, everybody! I just wanted to let everyone know that the fic I started last week is all complete and posted on my journals (LJ/DW and the AO3 archive. This is chapter 7, which links you onwards. Please feel free to come and chat wherever!

Turn and Face the Strain.
[Sequel to The More Things Stay the Same and As Good as a Rest.]

When Buffy thought about falling in love again, she didn’t expect it to be nearly so complicated as it actually turns out to be.
Also, she didn’t expect it to be Spike. (She’s not sure he did either.)

Author: Quinara
Rating: R…? I’m not sure I even know anymore with ratings, but there’s sex in it and people swear lots and (gasp) I think there’s some underage drinking too, which probably needs to be censored. ;)
Length: ~83,000 words in total; chapters are generally between 5000 and 6000 words.
Setting: Late S6, AU As You Were (and so much more! Not least in an AU AtS S3…)
Notes: Many thanks to the fabulous bogwitch for putting up with me and being my beta! This is the final story in a series I’ve written for the previous two rounds of seasonal_spuffy, consisting of The More Things Stay the Same and As Good as a Rest. I think what I’m posting today probably could stand on its own as a S6 AU, but I do follow up some stuff that happens in the previous fics, because it’s a sequel. The main thing is that Dead Things went differently and some stuff happened in LA. Other stuff happened around Buffy’s birthday. The chapter titles are of course from AYW!
Warnings: I don’t think this would need any of the AO3 listed warnings. I think the genre of this is much more of a drama-going-on-mystery-ish-adventure story, so it’s mostly in line with the show in terms of what it involves.

Fic: Adventures in Parenting (1/1)

I’m back with the ficlet that I didn’t finish in time for my posting day. I thought I would be out of town and couldn’t post it on free-for-all day, but plans changed. Got a huge project at work that I’ve been living, breathing and not-sleeping over for the last three weeks. I’m finally done with it tomorrow (yay!) and plan to do nothing this holiday weekend but catch up on sleep and enjoy a marathon of Spuffy goodness.

Okay, so considering this is my third dialogue-only RandyBlade/Joan story, I think it’s officially safe to call it… a thing. Dare I even say… a series? So I want to give it a name, but I’m not sure what. Suggestions anyone?

This ficlet has some inside jokes/references to events in the previous two ficlets. If you haven’t read them and would like to first, here’s Mortgage Crisis and here’s Dear Randy.
Now I’m off to pull another all-nighter, so I most likely won’t respond to any comments until Saturday. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy!

Medium: Fic

Title: Adventures in Parenting (1/1)

Author: annapurna_2

Setting: Season 6 AU post-Tabula Rasa

Rating: PG

Summary: Yet another RandyBlade/Joan ficlet. No one ever said raising a teenager would be easy.
