Big Girls

The Spuffy gods were trying to keep me away, right down to a smashed computer last night that ate most of my work for this round, but I have overcome! (Yay for saved drafts!) I present to you the first of two pieces for today!

But first,
OK, I have a list of thank-yous as long as my arm. First, standing ovation to enigmaticblues for putting up with my endless list of date conflicts, and shapinglight, who may or may not have know she was sharing a day with yours truly. And don’t blame them for any mistakes that might turn up in this one, but gillo and just_sue get about a zillion karmic points for putting up with a long string of frantic, half-coherent e-mails from me over the past 24 hours or so. You’ll see their good work in the next bit.

And now, without further adieu
Title: Big Girls
Timeline: Season 8, back at the ranch, er, castle, while Faith’s off chasing socialites
Rating: PG. That Spike’s got a foul mouth.

Heroes in Hell Part 1

This entry is part 1 of 10 in the series Heroes in Hell

Hello. Today is my posting day (changed from October 30th). I’ve never tried to write what you might call ‘pure’ Spuffy before so I hope I haven’t managed too badly. The story is complete and will be posted in 7 chapters.

Setting: Post-Chosen. The events of AtS season 5 are playing out but without Spike’s involvement, for reasons that will become clear pretty quickly. There are also very vague references to BtVS season 8, the comic. However, familiarity with it is not needed to understand the story.
Rating: R, I think.
Pairing: Spike/Buffy (of course), mention of Buffy/Angel
Beta: beta’ed by darkapple to whom many thanks. All remaining mistakes are, of course, mine.
Author’s note: This fic was inspired by one short line of dialogue from Hellbound in AtS season 5, quoted at the beginning of the story. At the time, I thought it massively unfair, though in Jossian terms it made perfect sense as well.
Disclaimer: The title of this story is borrowed from a shared world fantasy series from way back in the 1980s but the content of the story bears absolutely no relation to anything in that series, save the setting. Also, all Hail Joss, as always.

Fic: Another Time, Another Place (Part 1)

This entry is part 1 of 4 in the series Another Time, Another Place

Hello folks, I guess today is my day. This fic will be posted in installments, with the first going out now. There will be a second section this afternoon and the last one will go up tonight. My family didn’t entirely cooperate with my writing plans, darn ’em, but you will have it all today.

Deep thanks go to my best buds and betas, married_n_mich and spiralleds, who stepped in at the tenth hour to polish this up. Also thanks to enigmaticblues for heading up this community and helping to keep the Spuffy alive (because there can never be too much Spuffy).

This fic is rated PG, for mild language and some fun descriptions of demon gore. Set immediately post-Not Fade Away

A fic – She Likes That

So it’s my day to post. I’d like to thank enigmaticblues for maintaining the comm and all the awesome writers and artists whose work mine is not fit to touch the hem of. I have a fic and a few icons for your enjoyment this time.

Many, many thanks to betas bogwitch and confusedkayt,who both gave me invaluable help and suggestions.

Ever wondered just how Spike knew to suggest ice on Buffy’s neck?

Fic: She Likes That
Rating: Not entirely sure of US ratings, but mild R I would think.
Pairing: Spuffy. (duh)
Set in Season 6, some time after As You Were
Disclaimer. Not mine. But Joss isn’t playing with them right now…

Always Wait For You – 13

This entry is part 14 of 15 in the series Always Wait For You

I apologize to everyone for that last chapter and the lack of a cut. All fixed now. That’s about third or fourth one that I’ve had to go back and fix – hopefully none of the others caused a problem before I noticed them and added the cut. *peers around to see if anyone is growling at me*

Behind the cut (let’s hope) is Chapter Thirteen in which lots of stuff happens, not all of it very nice or fluffy.

 Chapter Thirteen
