Learning to Breathe – 1

Well hello there seasonal spuffers! Spring time is here (although it’s actually snowing here today) and with it comes another wave of Spuffy. Personally I can’t wait to get a look at what all the fabulously talented people who’ve signed up have got to offer.

However before I get to enjoy other peoples work I have to contribute something of my own (Still can’t believe I got day one. Argh why do they hate me ;)

Title: Learning to Breathe
Author: bearfacedcheek
Summary: Set in season 6 post Dead Things where things turn out a little better for Spike.
Author’s note: Honestly day one caught me a little on the hop and it was a race to get this finished. Luckily April is a goddess and she turned the proofing around in a day. Big thanks got to her of course and also to the wonderful itmustbetuesday  who makes all this possible.  Continue Reading

Accessories Included, Chapter 1

This is the third story I’ve worked on for my posting date. Despite the lack of time, I just couldn’t stop them from becoming monstrosities. As it is, much apologies for having only the first chapter out, but I’ve worked myself into a knot over this for the past month and I just need to get it off my chest. Further chapters will be posted on my LJ. A big thank you to for organising the whole thing!

Title: Accessories Included
Rating: R
Chapters: 1/4
Disclaimer: All Joss Whedon’s. I just play with ‘em.
Timeline: AtS “Not Fade Away”
A/N: I don’t have my copy of the AtS S5 DVD set with me right now and can’t exactly remember what happened. So bear with me if you see any inconsistencies with the prior storyline.

Hey, guys, I’m cutting it close on this one (as in I’m still working on part three). I’m going to try my best to post it by midnight, but in case I don’t make the deadline, it’ll go up on my journal tomorrow. And then I’ll go catch up on everyone else’s stuff. *g*

Millions of thanks to itmustbetuesday for organizing this!

Viva Las Vegas, S/B FIC NC-17 Part 2

This entry is part 2 of 3 in the series Viva Las Vegas

All Slayers have a little bit of demon in them. Since last winter, I have a little bit more than most. It’s funny—if Giles had never tried to get me a salary, he never would have discovered all that stuff Quentin Travers was hiding about Slayer heritage. If I hadn’t already known that Slayers were part demon, I’d have totally freaked out when I went all grr in Pylea. If I hadn’t had the Pylean first-hand skinny on inner demon-ness, I would never have thought to Kobiyashi Maru the Shadow Men. None of the steps on the road from A to Kumquat look weird when you’re taking them. It’s only when you look back that you realize how very, very far you are from where you started. Continue Reading

Viva Las Vegas

Self-Indulgent Post-NFA Spuffy Meander

Hiya: I’m back. Erm. I’ve been fussing for a month with this fantastic piece of pr0n. The dirty parts were all lined up fine, but I couldn’t for the life of me make it click as a whole. And then two days ago I realized I was writing the wrong pairing. I was doing my damnedest to force a potentially really interesting Bangel story onto Spike and Buffy.

So, feeling bad about THAT cruel and unusual failure, I went rummaging around in my hard drive’s daunting thicket of fic grafts, cuttings and compost, and emerged with the following. It’s unbetaed. It’s not even a story. What it is is a self-indulgence—play time—me inattentively spouting one of many higglety-pigglety post-NFA fantasies, sort of the way Anna S. does sometimes, except of course that I’d sacrifice a body part for Anna S.’s command of language. It’s not very long, but there’s enough here that’s (a) pretty, and (b) unlikely to be plundered for other projects that I thought I’d set it loose. So I hope you enjoy it and forgive its copious faults. Cheers.

Fic: “Near Misses” by Quinara

Hello! Yes, this is my day, and no, I’m not cutting it fine at all. That is absolutely not the reason why I’ve had to be my own beta.*

*coughs*

Right. This is my story “Near Misses”. I can’t say it’s the most happy thing I’ve ever written, but I personally wouldn’t call it angsty. OK, so there’s a bit of angst. I wish ‘angst’ wasn’t such a melodramatic word… All right, so it’s angsty. I need to work on my classification technique…

Anyway, it’s my own idiosyncratic (ie. slightly odd) spin on the old post-A5 Buffy comes to LA plot-line, and could never be rated any higher than PG-13.

(*On that note, if you do spot any typos, please point them out to me. I’ll be extremely grateful.)

Warnings: Mental health issues (briefly mentioned)
