Broken (Part One)
By: waddiwasiwitch
Rating: PG15
Genre: Comics verse – goes au after Season 9 Vol 10.
Disclaimer: I don’t own this fandom. I simply play with Joss Whedon’s toys and put them back when I play with them.
Notes: The only thing you need to know about the comics is that nobody can do magic, Spike has a space ship and an adoring crew of spacebugs. This takes place after Spike leaves San Francisco after telling Buffy he still loves her and he doesn’t want to be on the fringes of her life looking in anymore.
This won’t be finished today but I will try and finish for the Free for All days. Not beta’d yet.
Warnings: Torture, Violence

The Best of All Possible Worlds (Spike/Buffy, R)
Title The Best of All Possible Worlds
Author Brutti ma buoni
Rating R
Words 3500
Setting the not so good old days. Despite first appearances, very much not an all-human AU.
A/N Blame Gill for how this turned porny. I was going for a romp, mostly, before she nudged me a bit. Anyway. I’m not sure it was ever going to make much sense.
Together We Stand – Part (1/?)
Today is my day to post! I had an idea for this story, but of course I couldn’t get it completed in time (what else is new?). I’m hoping to have another part done by Sunday for the free-for-all day. This should be about 4 or 5 parts long.
Title: Together We Stand

Summary: AU Season 5. Buffy and Spike come to Sunnydale with one thing in mind.

FIC: When the Rest of Heaven Was Blue 4/6 (WIP)
My contribution this year will be another chapter of the WIP I started for Seasonal Spuffy a couple of years ago, and which I have been since updating at a glacial pace. It seemed apt, considering the theme of this round.
Title:When the Rest of Heaven Was Blue
Rating: R-ish (for violence)
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. Ignores the comics.
Expect the next chapter, oh, sometime next year maybe ;)

Comics!Fic: Intervention
Title: Intervention
Author: gryfndor_godess
Era: S9, takes place post all currently published comics
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Comics!fic
Summary: Illyria and Eldre Koh stage an intervention. 2,400 words.
A/N: This is comics!fic, but as I’ve only read one issue (the first Billy issue) since #10 (when Spike left), its adherence to comics!canon is liberal at best. I basically took some elements I had heard about from previous issues or knew were in the pipeline (e.g., Illyria) and ran with them.
Thank you to the mods for keeping this wonderful community alive!
I’ll be your princess and you’ll be my slayer

RATING: PG13
NOTES: All you need know about the comics is that Spike has a space ship, with very devoted bugs.

FIC: The Faraway Nearby – Chapter 2
I got posting access, yay!
And here’s chapter 2…
TITLE: The Faraway Nearby
AUTHOR: Eurydice
SUMMARY: Set a week after the end of S5. Everyone is grieving. Trying to rebuild their lives. Trying to forget them. At least, until Dawn goes missing. Then, they only have one goal, and Spike realizes this is his last chance to fulfill his final promise.
GENRE: Drama/angst
RATING: R, for now. It will likely turn NC17 later on.
NOTES: Yes, it’s a WIP. My apologies for that. It’s looking to be about 10 chapters (I think) and since this is all I’m working on right now, I fully intend to have it completed by the end of the year. Chapter 2 will come later today. Subsequent chapters will be at my LJ.

FIC: The Faraway Nearby – Chapter 1
This is Eurydice72. Apologies for having to use the special poster account. I have a DW account that I created just for this, and though DW is telling me I’m a member of the community, it’s also telling me I don’t have posting access. I’ve been trying to get it sorted out for the past few hours, but since it’s now 3:30pm here in sunny California and my day is 2/3s gone, I figured it’s better to just do it this way than to wait.
So… yeah. This is my first time signed up for this in years, and, well, it’s been interesting coming back to these characters.
I wanted to do something with the theme of this round, but I wasn’t sure how to approach it without doing something I’ve never done before. What I came up with is a multi-chapter plot bunny, of which I have the first two done. That’s what I’m posting today, but I have zero other commitments right now, so this is getting my focus for the rest of the year. My goal is to have it done before 2013 hits.

A Hundred and Forty Seven Nights To Save Your Lover
Hi. It’s my posting day today, and, as usual, I’ve just gone with the theme of the round.
Setting: Between BtVS seasons 5 and 6

A Hundred and Forty Seven Nights To Save Your Lover
Fic: Fire in the Soul (5/?)
Title: Fire in the Soul (5/?)
Author: Rebcake
Rating: PG13
Word count: 4100
Pairing: Spike/Buffy, with Dru and OCs.
A/N: Thanks for the quickie betas by shapinglight and MiAmor. Some photos contained herein are copyrighted as noted. NOT comics compliant.
Summary: A few years after Sunnydale’s spectacular demise, Buffy and her crew are getting on with their lives in San Francisco. A not entirely unwelcome blast from her past (Spike! It’s Spike!) blows into town, but he’s brought more than the generally allowable amount of baggage with him.
Previously:
Chapter 1 on LJ / Chapter 1 on DW — In which a “chance” encounter leads to strong language and less-than-adult behavior. Also: animal magnetism.
Chapter 2a on LJ / Chapter 2a on DW — In which Dawn makes her feelings known and Buffy tries not to.
Chapter 2bc on LJ / Chapter 2bc on DW— In which Buffy gets on with her Sunday, which naturally ends up being weird.
Chapter 3 on LJ / Chapter 3 on DW — In which Buffy checks in with Giles and has another bizarre vampire meet up.
Chapter 4 on LJ / Chapter 4 on DW — In which Buffy possibly overthinks things before she and Spike try that new-fangled “communication” thing.
New today:
Chapter 5 on LJ / Chapter 5 on DW — In which Spike and Buffy lick their respective wounds after a communication breakdown.

Always Knew I’d Go Down Fightin
So, my day! I’ve got two things: The first (below) is set in the verse I (unintentionally) started with Things That Go Bump in the Night. By now, in addition to that original long fic, there are lots of ficlets documenting Spike and Buffy’s early years together (thanks to Schmoop Bingo). All you really need to know about that verse, is that quite a few years after Chosen and NFA, Buffy found Spike again, and after the aforementioned long fic, Spike is now fully human but has the same slayer powers as Buffy. This ficlet is set many years in the future, when their family has grown and now includes grandchildren. The title is one of Spike’s lines from the show – he just had no idea how long it would be until it actually happened…
Title: “Always Knew I’d Go Down Fightin’”
Author: Slaymesoftly
Words: 2800+
Rating: PG13
Summary: Spike and Buffy wonder if they’ve become too old to be effective slayers. Turns out they get a chance to find out… (see above for backstory)
Disclaimer: Not my characters and no money is being made off them.
Thanks: to gillo who offered to look this over for me before it went up, and as always, improved it greatly. Any mistakes left are due to my tinkering and/or ignoring her good advice. ☺
