Fic: Fin Amour (4/6)

angearia
This entry is part 4 of 6 in the series Fin Amour

Title: Fin Amour
Author: angearia
Summary: The monks’ spell to create the Key goes wonky.
Timeline: Season 5 AU
Rating: R for (highlight to view) language, graphic violence and character death.
Word Count: ~14,000

Author’s Note: The beginning dialogue in the prologue is lifted from the BtVS episode No Place Like Homeand one line borrowed from Spiral—all the rest is my own. The title is French for “courtly love” or, to be more accurate, a “fine love”. This story is my feminist spin on a chivalric epic. The concept for this story was inspired by discussion with flake_sake where the question was raised: how can a story express a great and abiding romantic love without the sexual expression of love? Fin Amour is my answer.

Fic: The Indefinite Article, S/B, NC-17

rahirah

ETA: This story is now complete – I tried editing in the ending here, but that makes it too long for LJ’s post limits. The conclusion is available in my journal – link below. :)

(Note: This story isn’t quite finished – I am still working on the last part, and hope to have it completed by next week. I’ll be posting the conclusion in my journal when it’s ready. Sorry for the inconvenience!)

The Indefinite Article
By Barb C.
Disclaimers: The usual. All belongs to Joss and Mutant Enemy, and naught to me.
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: I’m just sayin’, this isn’t one of my fluffier stories. Highlight for specifics: Violence directed at pregnant women and small children, suicidal behavior, sexual situations that go Very Wrong.
Synopsis: Spike gets a soul. What could possibly go wrong?
Author’s notes: This story takes place in the same universe as “Raising In the Sun,” “Necessary Evils,” and “A Parliament of Monsters.” It takes place in March 2020 in the Barbverse timeline, and contains spoilers for previous stories in the series. Many thanks to betas deborahc, typographer, wildrider, brutti_ma_buoni, kehf, & slaymesoftly. Additional thanks to shadowkat67 for invaluable plotting advice.

This Be the Verse 9/9

ghostyouknow27
This entry is part 9 of 9 in the series This Be the Verse

Author:  ghostyouknow27
Rating: R, mostly for swearing and violence
Summary: Begins at the start of Season 7, but immediately goes AU. Buffy gets pregnant with Spike’s baby, and it fixes everything that’s wrong in their relationship. Don’t try to figure out any timelines, because they won’t fit.
Disclaimer: Characters and settings belong to Joss Whedon. The prose and plot are my own.
Word Count: Around the 37,450 mark
WARNING(S): There’s not much violence in this fic, but what’s there involves a baby. That’s right, a baby. Also, don’t expect too much happy mushiness. This is Pregnancy-With-Minimal-Plot and does involve consensual non-sex, naughty words and the author’s rather sick sense of humor. Uh, enjoy?
Thanks to slaymesoftly  for the beta-work on this chapter. Any remaining mistakes are the result of my insistent tweaking. :-)

Last thing for the day

rahirah

I’m not much of a manipper, but the recent SMG photoshoot and one of the shots of JM from his recent convention appearances just happened to be perfect for making this Barbverse picture.

Buffy, Spike, and Vicki
I really wanted to give Vicki a teeny weeny vamp face, but I decided it woudn’t show up. *g*

Thanks to Sky at Civilized James and angearia  for the scans. :) Now I can finally go read everyone else’s contributions!

FIC: His Girls

angearia

Title:  His Girls
Author: angearia
Summary: In the happier times, there are no stages to be worked through – there’s only Life.
Warnings: Extreme schmoop lies within.  The baby’s only gotten cuter, so be forewarned.
Rating: PG
Timeline: Post-Not Fade Away. Sequel to “To Be Born Again”
Word Count: 500

Author’s Note:  Why yes, the babyfic has run away with me!  I’m sure it’s just a phase.  There’s only so much schmoop I can take before I melt into a puddle of goo and fade away.  Lovely banner is by the talented moscow_watcher

FIC: To Be Born Again

Summary: Buffy has been brought back from the dead twice already, but the third time’s the charm.
Timeline: Post-Not Fade Away.
Warnings: None.
Rating: PG
Word Count: 500

Author’s Note: First off, thank you to enigmaticblues  for keeping this amazing community going! I have a confession – I was this close to not posting something today. This close! I have two other stories I’d worked on and then discarded in the past month.  *shakes fist at WIPs*  Then some scans of Sarah Michelle Gellar in People Magazine inspired me last night and voila! I hope you enjoy my humble offering (it truly is ever so humble in light of all the grand fic plans I’d had and hope to still write).  This is unbeta’d so all mistakes are mine.
