A/N I’d like to thank my valued collaborators, Omar Khayyám and Edward FitzGerald, for contributing the title. (Even if they were wrong about it.)
It’s a great honor to open a new round of seasonal_spuffy and I’m happy to be here again! Thank you, ladyofthelog and snickfic, for organizing the event, and thanks to amyxaphania for a wonderful banner! Can’t wait to read everyone else’s stuff.
I’ve got a fic for today. Possibly I’ll post some fanart on free-for-all day.

Author’s Notes: Part 1 is here!
Warnings: Graphic violence, consent/agency issues
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
First, a big thanks to
Title: When the Rest of Heaven Was Blue
Rating: R-ish at most, probably
Pairing: Spike/Buffy (d’uh)
Summary: After Willow’s spell goes wrong during a mission, Spike and Buffy have to face the demons in their relationship.
Spoilers/setting: Set in a vague post-everything future where Spike and Buffy are an established couple. No spoilers for the comics.
I will be continuing the story in my own journal, and you can receive a notification whenever it is updated by subscribing to my fanfic: btvs: spuffy wip tag. I’ll also be posting it on fanfiction.net and possible at some Spuffy archive.
Hello, everybody, and thanks to enigmaticblues for sponsoring this fine event! I have two stories to post today, one of which is funny and silly, and the other of which, um, isn’t. They both take place in the Raising/NE/POM ‘verse, and if it’s any consolation, the funny one takes place after the angsty one. *g* Angst first:
Mother’s Day
By Barb C
Disclaimers: The usual. All belongs to Joss and Mutant Enemy, and naught to me.
Rating: PG-13.
Setting: Post-Gift AU
Pairing: B/S
Distribution: Ask and you shall receive, I’d just like to know where it ends up.
Synopsis: When a demon sends them traveling randomly through Sunnydale’s past, Spike and Buffy must find a spell to return them home, and resist the temptation to meddle too deeply in their own pasts.
Author’s notes: Major angst. This story takes place in the same universe as “A Raising in the Sun” et. al. It’s part of the same series of stories as “A Stitch In Time.” Many thanks to typographer, brutti_ma_buoni, wildrider, slaymesoftly, rainkatt, kehf, and deborahc for beta reading!
See A/N in Chapter 11 for notes on dialogue from series
Poem at end is Love Sonnet LXXIX by Pablo Neruda (I’d pay to hear JM read his sonnets!)
~*~
Chapter 12, Called to Life
~*~
A/N: Although the plot has taken a turn far from canon, I have sought in these last two chapters to touch on the last episodes of Season 6 with an occasional bit of dialogue or “moment”. Those episodes are “Seeing Red” by Steven De Knight, “Villains” by Marti Noxon, “Two to Go” by Douglas Petrie and “Grave” by David Fury
~*~
Chapter 11, Setting Red Right
~*~
~*~
Chapter 10, Out of Chaos
~*~
A/N: From this point the story veers very off canon. A bit of dialogue comes from “Angel” (BtVS S1) by David Greenwalt
~*~
Chapter 9, Nothing Normal
~*~
A/N: Keeping this one PG-13 or R at the highest rating. Only hinting at NC-17 material. Some dialogue from “Hells Bells” by Rebecca Rand Kirshner
~*~
Chapter 8, Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed…
~*~
A/N: Some dialogue from “As you Were” by Douglas Petrie. Yes, I did change the location for the confrontation with the Suvolte from a dam to a waste treatment facility.
~*~
Chapter 7, As It Could Be
~*~
A/N: Some dialogue from “Older and Far Away” by Drew Z. Greenberg
~*~
Chapter 6, Older and Coming Closer
~*~
A/N: Some portions of dialogue from “Dead Things” by Steven S. DeKnight
~*~
Chapter 5, Live With Pieces Missing
~*~
A/N: Some dialogue borrowed, and in some cases twisted, from “Gone” by David Fury and “Doublemeat Palace” by Jane Espenson
~*~
Chapter 4, Returned
~*~
A/N: Some dialogue taken or modified from the script of “Wrecked” by Marti Noxon
~*~
Chapter 3, Restored
~*~
A/N: Some dialogue taken from, or twisted to my purposes from, “Smashed” written by Drew Z. Greenberg
~*~
Chapter 2, Repaired
~*~
Title: Hero’s Reward
Rating: mostly PG13 with a few violent scenes that might get an R but doubtful
Setting: Begins post AtS “Not Fade Away” and rapidly goes to S6.
Summary: Given a chance to do things differently a hero finds that putting another first and ignoring his own desires can lead to his rewards beyond his hopes.
