A Case of Kidnapping
Title: A Case of Kidnapping
Author: Zab Jade
Era/Season/Setting: Post-series
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Sixty-four years after the fall of Sunnydale, Buffy and Spike are living comfortably in a small demon town. As the Slayer, it’s Buffy’s job to police the demon community, which is mostly just mediating minor disputes and catching the occasional carnivorous cow before it wanders into a human city. Then, one night, there’s a knock at the door….

She fought viciously, with a speed he’d never seen. He threw himself at her with a manic grin, absorbing her attack and battering her with his own blows. They were both bleeding, but his grin remained intact, even as her breathing grew laboured and her eyes glittered with pain and panic. He pulled her off her feet, dragged her to his chest, and broke her neck.
He drank deep.

Title: Post “Place Beyond the Rains” Drabbles
Author: thewiggins
Era/season/setting: dimension jumping post s5 au
Rating: G
Author’s Note: These drabbles are follow-ups to my fic “A Place Beyond the Rains.” Basic details from that that you need to know is that Buffy was stuck in a pocket dimension for five years working as a waiter in a demon-run truck stop and Spike (who’d worked as a bartender to support Dawn) saved her by convincing her that she needed to let go of a set concept of home in order to move on. Then the rains magically carried them away. It’s a weird fic.
These four drabbles are setting during their dimension-hopping journey home.
Thanks to teragramm for allowing me to change my posting day when I was feeling icky post covid vaccination. And thanks to thenewbuzwuzz for the encouragement.
My Spuffy Tribute: Malkia Mpendwa
Title: Malkia Mpendwa
Author/Creator: Apache Firecat
Era/Season/Settings: Icons and puzzles come from all the seasons. The story is set post-cannon with a couple of slight, unimportant AU twists, but also reflects back on all previous seasons.
Rating: Icons and puzzles range from G/K to PG-13/T. Fic is R/M and includes mentions of character deaths, a CANNON character death, and non-con.
Spike/Buffy all the way throughout but there are nods to PAST Angel/Buffy in the story and a healthy helping of Angel/Cordelia. Also background Xander/Dawn.
Stickshifts and Safetybelts

Era/season/setting: Indeterminate era, established relationship, road trip.
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: sexual situations, light-to-medium BDSM, dom!Spike/sub!Buffy, porn utterly devoid of plot
Author’s Note: Title from the song by Cake. Betaread by trevino. Includes a gorgeous and sexy banner made by scratchmeout. This is far and away the dirtiest thing I’ve ever put out for public consumption, so I hope you all enjoy it. ;)

I have an art piece I was working on for this round, but it’s taking a lot longer than I expected. So instead, have a short one-shot from the Fancy Archives, and keep an eye out for that art during the solstice free-for-all!

Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Summary: It’s Buffy’s twenty-fifth birthday, and she’s still fighting the good fight. Only, this time, her job is interrupted by someone bearing a gift. Post-series.
Here’s the second part! Thank you to the mods for all their hard work on Seasonal Spuffy this round and in the previous years. :o) Happy 25 years of Buffy!
(It’s free for all day, right? Feel free to delete if it’s not.)
P.S. According to AO3, this is my 100th Buffyverse fic.

Hello! So the last fic I posted was back in November 2020, when I was about 6 months into long covid. I am now over two years into what is now looking more like chronic disability than a temporary illness, and has already involved two separate 4-month stints of being too ill to get out of bed and do basic self-care, let alone work. (Don’t get covid, kids.)
I had hoped and planned to submit something substantive for this spring’s seasonal-spuffy, but sadly I’ve just been too ill. So I thought for the 25th anniversary theme, I’d submit a new chapter to a story I started way-back-when for the 25th round. It’s kind of thematic, in a half-rhyme kind of way.
Many thanks to everyone who still cares about this story, despite the time between updates! If you no longer remember the details, the whole thing (excluding this chapter) is available here on AO3. (I expect this will be most of you.)
Title: (k)Nickers Off Ready When I Come Home – Chapter 4
Author: stuffnonsense
Era: Post-Series
Rating: Mature
Summary: Buffy and Spike are finally a couple. But after spending so much time and effort building up their emotional intimacy, they’ve sort of lost their way with the physical side of things. A road trip to Oregon seems like the perfect time and place for them to work it out. Through talking. Definitely talking. Certainly using their mouths. And tongues. And maybe a few other things.

Yes, more than one chapter in a day. And the final chapter to come, too.

Title: Polaroid
Author: MrsAkers

AN: Set in my Camperverse, which includes “What Remains” and “Monongahela,” both of which can be found on EF and A03. Takes place during WR. If you haven’t read these other one-shots, pertinent information is that everyone except Spike and Buffy die in the fight with Glory and Spuffy leaves Sunnydale in grief.
Summary: Spike gets a Polaroid camera.

Summary: As lovely as it is to hear Spike sing, Rest in Peace would make more sense if it happened later in the season. Or if something else happened sooner. Story is a complete one shot.

Hi everyone – today is my day. I hope you are all enjoying celebrating our favourite couple. Thank you to all those who have posted in this season … and for the Mods for all the organisation.
I have a few icons, and a couple of banners to share …. here are a couple of teasers –
I have also written a one-shot fic. I almost didn’t post it here as I feel that it doesn’t 100% flow. However, I have decided that it is up to you whether you enjoy it or not!
Burning Love … a fic from Buffy’s POV immediately after Chosen.
Well, I hope you enjoy … see you again next season
