Title: Before I Take That Walk, Pt.1
Rating NC-17
Summary: Spike sobers up after Lovers Walk and wonders why he wants to go back to a cheating Dru anyway. Buffy, meanwhile, tries to get a handle on a future that won’t include Angel. Can two broken hearts find an island of comfort in each other’s arms and then just walk away?
Setting: S3 after Lovers Walk, a short PWP

Fic Intermezzo 1
Hi to everyone! Today’s my day to post and I sort of ran amok. I have four stories to share and eight offerings that I call an Intermezzo. Those are “couplets” comprised of an “entry from the Diary of Buffy A. Summers” and the “Secret Journal of William the Bloody”, his journal entries are poetry. These will come between stories and are not connected to the stories in any way. Those follow cannon for the most part. I’ll be posting throughout the day with “work breaks” now and then.
Okay, here we go with the first “Intermezzo”:

Literary Intermezzo One:
Summary: A peek into the Diary of Buffy A. Summers and the Secret, Highly Confidential Journal of one William T. Bloody, these volumes were discovered in the rubble that was once the town of Sunnydale, California.
Setting: Post Crush, Season 5
FIC: I, robot. Part 5 – Emotional Recognition
And the final part…
Thanks to itmustbetuesday for bringing the community to life and holding it all together and keeping the Spuffy dream alive. And thanks to all who read and commented. Feedback makes me ridiculously happy – and if I could arrange a Christmas Spikebot for you all, I would.
And now to read all the other wonderful fic on the site that I’ve been too chicken to read before I posted!
FIC: I, robot. Part 4 – Adaptive Programming
FIC: I, robot. Part 3 – Visual Recognition
FIC: I, robot. Part 2 – Nonmonotonic Reasoning
Here we go with Part 2… Continue Reading
FIC: I, robot. Part 1 – Fuzzy Logic
OK – here goes with the main fic-of-the-day. The angst didn’t get finished, so I have a little five-part bit of fluff for you that I’ve been playing with whenever I needed to cheer myself up.
Title: I, robot
Author: Cass
Setting: Season 5. Sort of.
Pairing: Spike/Buffy
Rating: PG at most for language
Summary: What if things happened a little bit differently…
Author’s Notes: This is basically rooted in S5, but it does… erm… wander a bit. Purely written for the fun of it, so if you want the angst and drama, I’m letting you down this time – sorry!
Drabble: Buffy Reads a Book.
Hi! I’m Cass and today is my day (OK – only just). I’ve got a little five part story for you, but it’s not quite there yet… So, while I go and brood about it sleep on it until the morning, a little something in the form of a drabble.
Title: Buffy reads a book.
Author: Cass
Setting: Sometime in the future…
Pairing: Spike/Buffy
Rating: Tame as tame can be.
Fic: Something Borrowed
Hi, I’m Jen, and I’ll be bringing you today’s entertainment. Hope you enjoy!
Title: Something Borrowed
Author: jen_nsync_landl
Summary: This tale takes place a couple of days after the conclusion of “Something Blue.” Let’s pretend that, occasionally, the weird and the wacky happen in Sunnydale on Thursday nights. ;) Someone new comes to town, spells are performed, hijinks ensue. Oh, yeah, and there’s the small matter of a Spuffy re-engagement…
Disclaimer: I am Dorothy, the small and meek. All hail the great and powerful Joss from whom all inspiration flows.
A/N: Without amybnnyc cheering me on, this fic would not have been nearly as fun to write as it was. Her comments and suggestions were invaluable, and all remaining mistakes are mine. Thanks for all of your help and encouragement, sweetheart! Big thanks as well to itmustbetuesday for putting this community together and to the other participants for the daily dose of Spuffy goodness.
Fic: Tekubi, Chapter 4
This will be my last post of the day. (I did tell you this was a WIP.) Thank you everyone for being so supportive and enthusiastic about my work. Special thanks to itmustbetuesday for creating this comm. It was the pressure of having a posting day to fill that finally got me back to working on this long-simmering story.
Now I’m going to kick back, answer comments if I have any coherence left, and indulge in some S2 Spuffy from my buddy in postage, the resplendent annapurna_2. All future chapters of Tekubi will be posted to my journal. Fair warning, a chapter a week is my goal. I work slowly. If you’d like to keep up with this fic but don’t want to scroll past my political or gratuitous real life posts to do so, or would rather wait until it’s finished, you can watch Tekubi in my memories.
Oh, and if anyone was curious: tekubi is Japanese for wrist, or literally, the hand’s neck.

Fic: Tekubi, Chapter 3
Thanks again to rabid1st for the lightning-fast beta on this part. I’m still uncertain about parts of this chapter, but I figured you’d rather have two more chapters today than not.

Feedback: Absolutely. Including constructive criticism, should you have any.
Fic: Something in It (3/3), NC-17
Ta-da! Back with the final installment. Whew. This part may also need some more tweaking, but if I waited until I was completely satisfied, I’d never get anything posted. Heh.
Once again, many thanks to the lovely itmustbetuesday for all her hard work on seasonal_spuffy. It’s been a pleasure taking part and an even bigger pleasure sharing a posting day with the amazing thisficklemob.
Next on the agenda… replying to comments and reading some great fic. Whoo-hoo!
But first…
Title: Something in It
Author: annapurna_2
Setting: Season 2, around the time of “What’s My Line – Part 1.” Then it… um… goes a bit AU. Heh.
Pairing: Spike/Buffy
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Spike makes Buffy an offer she can’t refuse.
Author’s Notes: This was something of an experiment for me, using a little different style. We’ll see how that worked out. ::rolls eyes::
Fic: Something in It (2/3), NC-17
Finally back with the rest of the story! Took a lot longer than I thought. The words just weren’t coming today. I fear this may be the part where the experiment goes sadly awry. Heh.
At the very least, I foresee some heavy-duty revising in the not-too-distant future. So please believe me when I say that any constructive criticism is most welcome.
Be back with Chapter 3 as soon as I give it a quick, final read-through. In the meantime…

Fic: Tekubi, Chapter 2
Thank you, everyone, for your lovely comments on my previous posts. I’ll reply to them all when I’m done posting for the day.
If you missed it, in the wee hours this morning I posted Tekubi, Chapter 1, where you can find things like disclaimers and ratings and what the hell is going on here. And now…

Fic: Something In It (1/3), NC-17
First off, thanks so much for the comments on the drabbles I posted earlier. You guys are so lovely. I’m eager to reply, but I need to finish up my three-part fic offering before I do that. Many apologies for the delay.
Also, thanks to the extremely talented red_sunflower for the Spuffy icons she posted yesterday. This one seemed so perfect for my fic that I had to snag it! Along with a few others. Heh.
And speaking of the story, here’s the first installment. Chapter 3 is also done, but I have just a bit more to fill in for Chapter 2. I’ll be back with those later. I suspect the story may need some more polishing when all is said and done, but that will have to wait. In the meantime, hope it pleases…

Ficlet: “Pyre”
This piece was originally intended to be the prologue of a longer story. That story may never be written, and this scene stands as an angsty ficlet on its own.

Rating: PG-13
Set: after the alley beating in “Dead Things”

Distribution: Do not post elsewhere without permission. Ask, I may say yes.
Feedback: adored.
Blurb: Long before considering what she deserved, he promised himself he’d give her what she needed.
Drabble, The Third…
Here’s my final offering before I go grab some shut-eye. I’ll be back later on to post the first part of my NC-17 Season 2 Spuffy fic. The final two parts will follow as soon as I finish up that pesky middle
segment and apply a quick buff and polish.
But until then, I leave you with this…

Feedback: You betcha!
Fic: Tekubi, Chapter 1
Hi! I’m caia, I’ll be your co-host here today on seasonal_spuffy, along with the talented annapurna_2.
My main offering will be the first couple chapters of a longer fic I conceived of back in the fall of 2003 based on spoilers for the AtS S5 episode “Damage”. Among the differences from canon, Spike’s hands are removed at the wrists, and he doesn’t immediately get them back. Don’t worry, though, there will be plenty of silliness and schmoop as well as angst.
Those allergic to WIPs may like to peruse my completed fiction.
Drabble, The First…
Hello, all. I’m ever so pleased to be sharing this day with the lovely and gifted thisficklemob. I couldn’t be in better company. Can hardly wait to read your story, caia!
Also, many thanks to the amazing itmustbetuesday for the marvelous job she’s doing with seasonal_spuffy. Kudos!
Now, for my contribution I’ll be posting a three-part NC-17 story set in Season 2… but not for a few hours. My muse went on strike last week, so I’ve still got the last bit of Chapter 2 to finish up as soon as I get a little sleep.
In the meantime, here’s the first of three drabbles to kick things off.
Drabble: Fatal Attraction
Author: annapurna_2
Rating: G
Season: I think you’ll figure it out. Heh.
Feedback: Thrilled to have it.
