Fic, Jack the Giant Killer, Part 2

Okay, make that three parts. I couldn’t quite get the whole thing finished today by the midnight deadline, but you the final part should be available in my journal sometime tomorrow. [ETA: up now, but not the final part. TBC…]

Title: Jack the Giant Killer
Author: The Deadly Hook
Disclaimer, Summary: See Part 1.
Rating: PG-13, I guess, for this section, for some violence.  Continue Reading

Fic, Jack the Giant Killer

Good morning! My post for today will be a two-parter. The second part will hopefully be up later in the day.

Title: Jack the Giant Killer
Author: The Deadly Hook
Disclaimer: BtVS and AtS characters not mine. I play with them, like Punch and Judy. Dance, puppets, dance! The fairytale quotations are all from “Jack the Giant Killer,” The Blue Fairy Book, Random House edition illustrated by Grace Dalles Clark, 1959.
Rating: Probably R, by the end. This section’s more like G.
Summary: Post-“Not Fade Away.” Set vaguely in the future of my own universe of stories, although nothing needs to be known about them to read this, except that Buffy and Spike are together now, a pair of traveling demon hunters, trying to be a couple, yadda yadda. A trip to the far north leads to a tension-causing meet-and-greet with a real-life myth. Or two. Plus, Spike wears a fur hat.  Continue Reading

Title: At Play With the Gods
Author: Salieri
Rating: R

More Conversations with Dead People

Here in the Mountain time zone, it’s still a decent hour, but I’m sure some of you are wondering who the slacker with April 16 was. It’s been a doozy of a day – my best friend broke up with his boyfriend of three years today – so I could sure use some feedback as a pick-me-up. :) Also, this means that chapters 2-5 of this fic didn’t quite get done, though they are all undergoing the editing process. You’ll see them on free-for-all day. I hope you enjoy my offering; I’m so awed to get to post next to the shining lights of awesomeness that are in this community. Oh, and Happy Easter!

Format: Fic
Title: More Conversations with Dead People

Rating: R
Summary: Immediately post-Chosen. No matter how hard you fight, you can’t destroy the source of all evil.

Beyond Truth and Lies – Prologue

This entry is part 1 of 7 in the series Beyond Truth and Lies

My time has come… I won’t say how much I have stressed over my day, but boy am I relieved to finally get it over with. I have a short fic (6 chapters and prologue) and another short that I will post at the end.

Title: Beyond Truth and Lies
Rating: Strong R for final chapter
Disclaimer: BtVS belongs to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy
Timeline: Post Chosen
Summary: When time refuses to heal her broken heart, a desperate Buffy asks Willow to lend a magical hand. But when she gets her wish, Buffy is forced to realize that there is truly something worse than losing the one you love.
A/N: Many many thanks to hollydb and schehrezade_1 for betaing and keeping me on track. And a special thank you to spikeslovebite for always being there when I needed it.

Fic: Not Exactly Once Upon a Time – PG

Title: Not Exactly Once Upon a Time
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Joss yadda yadda.
Timeline: Sometime in the future. Buffy, Spike, together. You know.
Pairings/Characters: Spike/Buffy. Cuz that’s kinda the point. And also, Willow and Xander. Cuz there would be little togetherness if not for good friends. Trust me.
Summary: Sometimes a vampire is just a guy, a slayer is just a girl, and they’re both just a little dense.
A/N: Many thanks to justmalea and redeem147 for beta duties. They both saved me from grammar errors and evil typos. Also, to appomattoxco and gables for encouragement and feedback.

Fic: Thumbing Your Way To Vegas

Thumbing Your Way to Vegas
By spicklething
Rating: PG, no big whoop
A/N1: In trying to keep with the spirit of the Fairy Tale Challenge, no dragons, fairies or ewoks were hurt in the making of this story. Bent the rules a little bit and broadened the definition of Fairy Tale. Any resemblance to a work by George Lucas or a Galaxy Far, Far Away is purely intentional.
