Shadowy Corners

onlylyin

Sorry this is on the line of late ~ I’m on Central US time currently (in New Orleans, which is nice since it’s still snowing at home in Buffalo). Suffice to say, life is big on the crazy and grad school is evil. Also, the Internet and livejournal apparently dislike me… But I’m really excited to be posting ~ first Seasonal Spuffy! but although I’ve been spending every (few and far between) spare minutes writing, I don’t have as much for you as I intended. Hopefully you’ll still enjoy anyway. I have a short one-shot, below, and a teaser scene for a four-part AU season four fic to follow, probably on free-for-all-day. Happy reading and I can’t wait to rededicate my free time to reading what everyone else has been posting!!

Title: Shadowy Corners
Author/Creator: onlylyin (I’m on fanfiction.net as lyin’, you might, or might not, have spied me there!)

Era/Season/Setting: Season 8 Comicsverse, pre the four-months-later scenes in Issue #40. Very little comics knowledge actually needed to follow, except that Buffy’s now working in a coffee shop.
Rating: All Ages
Genre: …er, doughy conversation?
 I was going to link a download to “Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop,” which is very on-the-nose and not a song that would automatically make me think Spuffy, except that it did. And I say “I was going to” because trying to link makes my entry post crash and burn. but if anyone wants it, give me a shout. Enjoy!

FIC: Amor Fati

ruuger

Sorry, I’m a bit late with my offering (as usual), but anyone who’s seen the news about the Finnish election results should understand why I turned off my computer and went to bed early last night :)

I was also hoping to write something a bit more cheery for my day, but unfortunately I didn’t have the time.

Title: Amor Fati
Word count: 2200
Rating: Mature/R
Warning: While there shouldn’t be anything actually triggery here, the fic is still pretty dark (think of “Dead Things” dark, “Seeing Red” dark).
Summary: “This is your life, William Pratt, and it’s ending one minute at a time.”

Making it Work, Slaymesoftly

slaymesoftly
This entry is part 1 of 5 in the series Making it Work

It’s my day! *bites nails* It’s a long story, and I have to leave for work in 45 min., so I’m not going to get it all up this morning. With luck, I’ll have most of it up before midnight, but can’t swear to it. I won’t be be home much at all today until well after 9:00 p.m. If I don’t get it all up (a distinct possibility since I haven’t finished the ending) I’ll link to it on my LJ/DW accounts. I’d do chapters at a time, but I don’t do short chapters and that might be a little too much for many readers.

Title: Making it Work (early season four)
Author: Slaymesoftly
Word count: 20,000 ++
Rating: Strong R or NC17?
Disclaimer: Joss’s characters, I just tweaked the season a little. (Okay, I tweaked it a lot. Don’t sue me!)
Summary: Continues from two Schmoop Bingo ficlets (I’ll provide links as soon as I have time) in which a drunk Spike comes to Buffy after Dru has kicked him out again. He thinks he wants to fight her, but ends up realizing that’s not what he wants at all… In this fic, they find that their situation may not be all that unique. The question is, can an unchipped, unsouled formerly evil vampire contain his demon well enough to suit the Chosen One? Can they make it work?

Perils of the Self-Domesticating Vampire Part 3

hello_spikey
This entry is part 3 of 3 in the series Perils of the Self-Domesticating Vampire

And here it is! Your third part for today! As I said, I will be posting the chapters on my own journal after this, but I will put a link at the bottom of this post leading to the fourth chapter and from that chapter to the next and so on. Chapters will post one a day, with a three day lag as I post these three chapters to my journal first!

No warning to this chapter, but hopefully you will all see why I thought it made a nice stopping – or at least pausing – point. :)

If this is all new to you, Check out Chapter One!

As always, all glories to snickfic!!

Perils of the Self-Domesticating Vampire

hello_spikey
This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Perils of the Self-Domesticating Vampire

Hello all! My first Seasonal Spuffy evah!!

This is a fic in 10 parts (possibly 11. I’m working on 10 now, you see. Sorry, I failed to finish for the deadline!) I’ll post the first three chapters today, as I think they make a nice little thing together, and then I’ll follow up on my journal? Is that good, or should I wait until “open posting” day?

Warning: Fluffy! People who like my writing might not believe this, so I have to emphasise that this story is strong with the fluff side of the force.

Summary: After getting caught with Anya in the Magic Box, Spike tries a different drastic tactic to make it all better: he proposes.

I owe much love to my beta snickfic, who held my hand through the strange world of fluff, and the occasional drama-queen explosion of writer’s block.

FIC: What semi-retired champions do on their nights off (1/1), by bobthemole [PG]

bobthemole

Title: What semi-retired champions do on their nights off
Author:  bobthemole
Era: post-S8
Rating: PG
Genre: Crossover with Dancing with the Stars

A/N: Follows angearia ’s utterly hilarious His Majesty, the Bug Queen – which I highly recommend if you haven’t read it yet. The relevant bit is that Spike is living with Dawn, Xander and Buffy because he got kicked out of the Bug Ship and is too comfortable to find a place of his own. The mooch.

Beta/Hand-holding: Humongous thank yous to angearia , snickfic and ladyofthelog for cheering me through the writing process, coaching me through my blocks, and offering advice throughout. Emmie, especially, gave me a crash course in writing action sequences and laughed at me while I watched Dancing with the Stars for “research”. She is also half-responsible for this cracktastic verse and some of the funnier lines here.

In Their Shoes

In Their Shoes

Author: moscow_watcher
Genre: comedy
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Joss is the boss.
Timeline: Season 6. “Once More With Feeling” has ended differently.
Summary: Role-playing games are more effective than a shrink’s couch – at least, in Buffy and Spike’s case.
A/N: Many thanks to deird1, my wonderful beta who helped me with grammar, style and characters voices. All mistakes are mine. And many thanks to abelina, angearia, gillo, ladyofthelog, rebcake and snickfic for organizing this round and running this community.

Fic: Draw Back the Curtain (PG13)

brutti_ma_buoni

I’ve been trying to post for two hours now – I hope someone can read this! And, even better, comment!! Just the one fic for you today, but that’s probably a good thing as I think I’d bust a lung trying to post more…

Author Brutti ma buoni
Title Draw Back the Curtain
Pairing Spike/Buffy, of course
Rating PG13
Word Count 4000
Genre Adventure/Mission
A/N: this story is set in the Rulesverse, a post-Chosen AU. The Rulesverse is huge, but this story takes place right at the start so there’s nothing to daunt you about the setting. It follows on pretty closely from my previous seasonal_spuffy  entry Crossing. It’s September 2004, Spike and Buffy are reunited, living in Scotland and working with the Slayer Council.

And a Drabble

redeem147

During season seven.

Thanks, Seasonal Spuffy, for letting me play again. :)

 

Another Perspective

I do not know these people. This man, he took me from my family. No one here speaks Serbian. I think it is a bad place. There are too many girls.

There is a vampire in the basement. He is not there for us to hurt. He lives there. I do not understand.

The one who is the Slayer I think, the blonde one, she looks at him. He looks at her. They do not look with hatred as should be. I think they are lovers. Or else they want to be.

This America is a very, very strange place.

FIC: And Don’t Let Go

snickfic

Title: And Don’t Let Go
Author: snickfic
Setting: post-NFA
Words / Rating: 2900 words / PG
Genres: shanshu!Spike, post-apocalyptic, babyfic
Warnings: mpreg

A/N: I’ve been sporadically posting to my LJ a series of vignettes in which the NFA battle went badly, Spike’s human now, and Buffy’s just trying to hold the world together and also deal with Spike having a baby. This one is the earliest in the chronology of any I’ve posted, so you don’t need to have read the others, although if you want to they are all here. I think there may be another one for Free-For-All day.

Thanks much to my betas, bobthemole and penny_lane_42, for helping me get this into shape.
