Even Champions Need a Home – 1
Title: Even Champions Need a Home
Author: Slaymesoftly
Rating: PG13
Disclaimer: It didn’t happen this way, because the man who owns these characters didn’t write it. But he said I could. :)
Summary: It’s the summer before Season VII; Buffy is led to Spike and told he is a champion that she must take care of until it’s time for him. She’s dubious at first, but very glad to see him again. Important conversations are had, as they should have been, long before he goes up like a candle.
AN: Although, this was written for Seasonal Spuffy, I started it based on a banner that I liked at a “fic for banner” community – may have been WriterCon UK, I don’t remember. Anyway, it turned out that someone else had already chosen that banner and I didn’t want to share (lol), so I chose another one and tucked this idea away. But I wanted to tell the story, so I brought it out and tried to bend it so as to at least approach the “Humor” “Hope” themes of this round. It’s not laugh-out-loud funny, and since we all know the ultimate ending, can’t really be hopeful in the long-term; but at this little point in their relationship…
This gorgeous banner, as was the original one, is from my wonderful beta, Always_jbj, who is multi-talented. Aren’t I lucky?
Torrid Normality — and a limerick, in the spirit of the season…
Today’s my day to post! It feels like a holiday! An enthusiastic thank you to enigmatic_blue for organizing and to curiouswombat for being my very first beta! Thank you also to those who have posted already and been inspirational. Can’t wait for the rest!

Make me what i was…. Drabbles
Author: bearfacedcheek
Title: Make me what i was… Drabbles
Post Season 6. Spike’s request “Make me what i was so that she can get what she deserves” was dangerously ambiguous and wish granting demons are twisters of words. I give you 3 interpretations of Spike’s request and their consequences
Fic: Exile
Won’t be online with access to my fic until later tonight, so I thought I’d post the prologue that is only a few pages now, then get more out tonight.
This is a fic I’ve been tinkering with off and on forever. Started writing it before season seven, so it’s obviously AU.

Rating: Eventually NC-17, but very tame for now

Title: Kept Slayer
Author: Maryperk

Beta: Tasha

Fic: Beginnings – very mild R (01/01)

Be afraid. Be very afraid. Heh.
This one is a series of related drabbles, posted as one fic.

5 Missing Scenes from Season 7 by jamesmfan
It’s my day already and I’m woefully unprepared. Oh well.
I’ve got 5 drabbles here and will hopefully have some other stuff a bit later. HOPEFULLY. (yes that does mean I’m still actually working on them. Me = procrastinator)

Never Mind the Bollocks
seasonal_spuffy is super-special to me. I wrote my very first BtVS fic for the last round, and the warm welcome I got here helped turn me into a full-fledged Buffy writer.
I’ll have a few one-shots peppered throughout the day. Here’s the first:
Title: Never Mind the Bollocks
Timeline: Right after “Get it Done”
Summary: She smiled, then, a kind of soft half-grin. Almost worth it, that smile. A good trade for his balls. Almost.
Verse and Worse – Part 2
I had it totally fixed in my head that my posting day at seasonal_spuffy was today that I didn’t think to double-check. So inevitably it turns out to have been yesterday. Dammit. I wouldn’t have been ready to post, on account of all that’s been going on in my life, but I am kicking myself big time.
Thanks to the wonderful ruuger‘s willingness to share I am going to post the next part here. However if a mod would like this deleted I will understand perfectly. The rest will be posted in my own LJ over the next few days…
Fic – Verse and Worse
I’ve been writing under pressure, and don’t know if I’ll manage to get it all done before my day ends, but here’s the first part, regardless.
Title: Verse and Worse
Author: Gillo
Summary: You can take a poet out of his century, but you can’t ever quite stop him!
Setting: Early-Mid Season 7, probably after Him
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: If only they were mine.
ETA: Not properly betad, so all faults are entirely mine, but the lovely spikes_heart gave it a read-through and told me off for a mistake or two. She’s far too gentle with me, though.
Need to Know
I have one small ficlet to post – I wanted to get more done, but I’ve been quite sick lately and wasn’t able to. Lots of hugs and thankyous go to my wonderful betas, mahalia_baby, sevvy_o, and glitterysiren, who were just lovely :)
Title: Need to Know
Author: Enchantress
Summary: After a long night of patrolling, Buffy asks Spike to help her in a way he never expected.
Setting: Mid Season 7, probably after First Date.
