Notes:
- Inspired heavily by the London Grammar song Sights.
- This is a very personal story and a lot of people helped me out with it along the way. My very great thanks go to angearia for looking over an early version, torrilin for answering my questions about huskies, and yavannie82 and bewilde for excellent and comprehensive betaing, through which they have made this fic so tight it could float. Bottomless appreciation also to kylathelurker for a superlative alpha-read, cultural input and seemingly unending support and enthusiasm. They all helped me make this as good and as accurate as possible – any remaining mistakes are my own.
- Further thanks to my lovely, generous and incredibly talented artistswolveswithhats, kylathelurker and bewilde who have produced some truly stunning illustrations for this story. Their art is indexed and credited below. Some pics are still on their way, however, so keep an eye out :) If you enjoy their work along with mine, I hope you will remember to let them know.
- Constructive criticism is always welcome, and in fact encouraged. Enjoy!

Fic: What Lay Onward and What Behind, Chapter 1 (Rated R)
I cannot resist another offering to seasonal_spuffy (hallowed be thy name!), a spanking-new-fic that will be finished in the next week. Thanks again to the mods and all my fellow participants for this spectacular round of Seasonal Spuffy!
Title: What Lay Onward and What Behind
Author: feliciacraft
Continuity: Set a decade after “Chosen”
Warning: Buffy/Other
Length: ~3400 Words
Rating: R
Betas: all4spike (who speedily ran the piece through her fine comb), baphrosia and dragonyphoenix, for their special guest critique, who are just the kind of critics a writer’s dreams are made of. Thank you all so much! This is a work in progress, so all remaining errors are mine.
Author’s Note: Since my wonderful f-list has encouraged me to hold fast and steady to my own artistic vision and not to pander, note the Buffy/Other (F/M) in this story. Also: I’ve never been to Japan or Cambodia (layovers don’t count, I think). Let me know if anything doesn’t ring true. Otherwise, much praise is due to Google.
Feedback: Yes, yes and yes please! Won’t you be so kind?
Who’s that Lady – part 3 of the Magic Man series (parts 1 & 2 are now posted on AO3)

Broken (Chapter 10)
title: Broken Part Ten
author/creator: waddiwasiwitch
era/season/setting (when posting fic): comics canon
rating (when posting fic ): PG 15
Summary: Buffy is missing when Spike returns to San Francisco. Comics verse – goes au after Season 9 Vol 10. Dawn’s distraught and turns to Spike for help. Meanwhile Buffy’s struggling to keep herself together. Can they find her? Amazing banner made by Wonder and Ashes on Elysian Fields!!
Fic: Making It [PG]
A little somethin’ somethin’ for Free For All day…
Title: Making It
Medium: Fanfic
Pairing(s): Buffy/Spike (Joyce/Hank)
Rating: PG
Length: ~1,500
Timeline: S4 post-Hush in an AU setting
Warnings: Schmooooooooooooop
Summary: Positive thoughts bring positive results, that’s what Joyce always used to tell the girls. It’s her polished-up, momish version of ‘fake it until you make it’.
Notes: A little coda to Reciprocal. Originally part of the main story, I cut this scene at the last minute, and have since expanded it. Thanks to herself_nyc for the original beta; any subsequent mistakes are my own. Concrit is welcome. Enjoy :)
Fic: Fire in the Soul (6a/9)
A new chapter of my San Francisco story/travelogue! It’s been awhile, but the end is in sight! I’m sorry not to have a self-contained piece for this round, but I’m determined to finish this seasonal_spuffy WIP. (How do you novel-length authors do it?)
Title: Fire in the Soul (6a/9)
Author: Rebcake
Rating: PG13
Word count: 2075
Pairing: Spike/Buffy, with Dru and OCs.
A/N: Thanks for the quickie beta by MiAmor. NOT comics compliant.
Summary: A few years after Sunnydale’s spectacular demise, Buffy and her crew are getting on with their lives in San Francisco. A not entirely unwelcome blast from her past (Spike! It’s Spike!) blows into town, but he’s brought more than the generally allowable amount of baggage with him.
The Return of the Zeppo, one shot
This is the day I have written down in my planner as my posting date. So here goes. This story is the third in a series.
#1 The Troll Hunt post in Dec 2012 for Seasonal Spuffy
#2 The Revenge of the Trolls Posted August 2013 for Seasonal Spuffy
Title: The Return of the Zeppo
Medium: fanfic
Rating and Warnings: NC-17 for language and major character death, OCs
Timeline: Season 4
Summary: Willow does her ‘Thy Will Be Done’ spell.
Notes: Like the first two stories, I took some prompts for help.
Wolfie – something silly: googly eyes attached to everything (mentioned)
Spikester – something scary: clowns (mentioned)
Bunnyfer – something you want to see but rarely do: Buffy with a good education and job
Spuffy lvr – unlikely companion: Numero Cinco (The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco, ATS5)
Fox – inventive death: crushed by a vending machine
Susan – who dies: Amy the rat
Fic: Reciprocal [NC-17]
I’ve set this on a timer as the ‘rents are visiting, fingers crossed it works…
Title: Reciprocal
Medium: Fanfic
Pairing(s): Buffy/Spike (mention of Buffy/others, Spike/others)
Rating: NC-17
Length: ~10,000
Timeline: S4, goes AU during Harsh Light of Day but set mostly post-Hush.
Warnings: dubious consent due to sex magic/claim, cliché-wallowing
Summary: What it all came down to, Giles told her, was that claims were largely thought to be fiction these days, and even then no one had ever heard of it happening in such a manner.
Notes: Shameless porn with a half-hearted attempt at plot and faint traces of satire… aka Moony’s I REGRET NOTHING fic. Many thanks to herself_nyc and rahirah for speedy beta work. Thanks also to the lovely ladies who run this community. Concrit is, as ever, most welcome. Enjoy :)
Fic: “Bed Wrinkles In Time” (1/1)
Just a short ficlet from me today. I took a bit of a risk with the decidedly unsexy subject matter; I hope you like it anyway. :)
Bed Wrinkles In Time
By: caia
Rating: PG
Setting: 2030
Genre: Humor/Schmoop
Warnings: mentions of medical stuff, but nothing graphic.
Standard disclaimer: The characters aren’t mine, just the story.
Blurb: Buffy is fifty, and not pleased about some of the indignities that go with that.
Feedback: Yes, please.
Free-for-all day fic – more After the Deluge.
I was amazed and grateful for comments and readers when I posted a chapter of After the Deluge on Monday. Thank you everyone who did either!
Here, as it’s free-for-all-day, is another chapter. No, don’t faint. 1,212 words, PG13.
Broken (Chapter 9)
Disclaimer: I don’t own anything that you recognise.
Summary: Buffy is missing when Spike returns to San Francisco. Comics verse – goes au after Season 9 Vol 10. Dawn’s distraught and turns to Spike for help. Meanwhile Buffy’s struggling to keep herself together. Can they find her? This was originally written for the last Seasonal Spuffy round and I hope to finish it this time. Amazing banner made by wonder and ashes!!
