Keystone – Chapter 1/21

This entry is part 1 of 21 in the series Keystone

Hello everyone! Today’s my day to post and I bring you a long spuffy adventure tale. It’s 21 chapters and an epilogue, so I’m posting the first three now and then spreading the remainder throughout the day.

Thanks to enigmaticblues for hosting. I imagine it must be a lot like herding cats to get us all organized.

A/N: AU Adventure. Set within the Grundyverse this story stands alone, a separate endeavor for this community, and although there is humor and romance, the plot is darker than what I usually write to suit our community theme of obstacles. Our poor beloved characters- they’ve certainly got ‘em in spades.

Disclosure: These characters belong to Joss, ME, Fox and anyone affiliated with same. Only Empress and the plot are mine.

Where’s the Doctor? – Final Chapter

This entry is part 12 of 12 in the series Where's the Doctor

And that’s my day! Thank you!

Title: Where’s the Doctor?
Rating: PG at most
Pairing: Spike/Buffy

Summary: Some time ago, I wrote a short fic called Who’s the Doctor?. It was an AU version of “As You Were” that involved some characters from the recent seasons of Doctor Who. I’m having problems categorizing the current fic, because it’s a prequel from the Doctor’s point of view and a sequel from Buffy and Spike’s. As far as BTVS is concerned, it’s during or after an AU Season 6 where Spuffy is a happy reality and all the characters get along, more or less. In the Whoverse, it takes place during Tom Baker’s reign, when he was traveling with Leela.

Thanks to everyone who’s commented. I haven’t responded because I’m trying to get all this posted by midnight. Looks like there will be twelve chapters, with some fight scenes (what else) needing tweaking.

Thanks to enigmaticblues  for continuing this comm. I haven’t had a chance to dip into the stories and other posts yet, but I’ve been enjoying the push my deadline has given me to jump back into my fandom. I’m hoping to spend a lot of time here this winter.

Fic: “Every Now and Then (1/3)” by Quinara.

This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Every Now and Then

Me again! Thanks so much for everyone’s comments so far – as you might be able to tell by the time stamp it’s been a bit touch and go getting this other fic ready under the deadline, which is why I haven’t replied yet. Hopefully you’ll like this one too. :)

Title: Every Now and Then
Author: Quinara
Rating: PG-13/R
Word Count: 13,935
Summary: When Spike goes missing Buffy is forced to remember things she’d rather have left forgotten.
Author’s Notes: This takes place quite a way in the future, in the same universe as another fic I wrote,What a Way to Make a Living (there may be a title-theme of early 80s cheese…). But to understand this fic, all you should need to know is that Buffy works in a school by day while Spike and Illyria fight crime, buddy-cop style, by night. There’s again a bit of comics influence, but really not very much. Insane levels of thanks to bogwitch for doing me a beta – it should now be pretty unrecognisable from when she first saw it. :P Yet more thanks for enigmaticblues, because I swear seasonal_spuffy brings out the best in me.

Warnings: None (I would say)

Fic: “I Thrice Presented Him a Kingly Crown (1/2)” by Quinara.

Hello!

It’s just past 1AM at the beginning of my day, but I’ve got another fic (hopefully) coming after this one that I won’t be able to post until the afternoon/evening, so I’m getting this out there now! I’m a little annoyed it won’t all fit in one entry…

Title: I Thrice Presented Him a Kingly Crown
Author: Quinara
Rating: PG-13/R
Word Count: 11,314
Summary: Spike and Buffy get stuck in ancient history.
Author’s Notes: This takes place post-series, with a few comics-influenced touches. I’d be wary of saying it works with comics canon, simply because I haven’t read them that closely and this goes beyond their ending. Massive thanks go to gillo for beta-ing this for me, and for inspiring me to find a Shakespearean title for the whole thing. Thanks also to enigmaticblues for organising everything again!

Warnings: Graphic violence, consent/agency issues

Fic: Lawful Impediment (2/2)

Author: spikesdeb
Title: LAWFUL IMPEDIMENT
Rating: PG
Pairing: Spike/Buffy
Season: Post-series. It’s four years after the Hellmouth imploded, and Buffy’s moving on, or so her friends think. But if you’re about to say your vows and the man at your side isn’t the man you’re thinking of, surely somebody should stand up and say something? Wonder who that will be…
