Hi again! My second and last entry will be all gifs, and since gifs are pretty big, this is probably not dial-up friendly at all. A big thanks to the mods who keep this community running, and to everyone who contributes and comments! ♥

A/N : My very lame Seasonal Spuffy Entry:) This is the start of a bigger (but not too big) fic titled How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Xander Harris, which will hopefully be done by free-for-all day, and is not at all as slashy as it might sound!

Fic: To Cancel Half a Line (PG13) (1/2)
I have one story for you today. It’s a little… odd. Blame my flist, who when polled decided they wanted season 2, season 4, dragons, time travel and an apocalypse. Voila! *waves hands*

(Fic) His Heart Belongs to You PG-14
This is not only my second fanfic EVER, this also my first post for Seasonal Spuffy EVER. So go easy on me!
Title: “His Heart Belongs to You”
Author: chosenenemy
Timeline: Chosen and right after that. Sort of AU
Pairing: Buffy/Spike
Rating: PG-14
Warnings: Just a bit of sex talk
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the characters and places, they all belong to Joss Whedon, and that other God.
Summary: Right before the big fight, Buffy blurrily said to Spike that maybe after the fight, they might start something. But he died, and the suggestion never came to play. But what if Spike hadn’t died?
Fic: Fire in the Soul (2a/?)
Title: Fire in the Soul (2a/?)
Author: Rebcake
Rating: PG13, this chapter
Word count: 1140
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 blows into town, but he’s brought more than the generally allowable amount of baggage with him.
A/N: This half-chapter takes place the morning after the events of Chapter 1. Alas, it’s just a couple of gals sitting around talking, but more plot is coming soon (tomorrow?) on my journal. I’ll link from the bottom of this chapter when it’s up.

Blame it on the Black Star 1/1
Hi guys! I’ve been enjoying all the awesome things that have come out of this community this month, and since it’s open posting day I thought I’d give it a shot. Thanks to the mods for keeping it up and running, and for providing an opportunity for lurkers like myself to contribute without having a slot!
Title: Blame it on the Black Star
Author/Creator: smellslikecorruption
Era/Season/Setting: Season 2-4
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Superstarverse (?)
Length: ~3500
Summary: How might have important events gone differently in a universe where Buffy wasn’t Sunnydale’s go-to superhero? Snapshots of the Spuffy relationship in the alternate history created by Jonathan’s spell.
Disclaimer: None of it belongs to me.
Home Is Where They Have To Take You In – Chapter Three
The header is a lie. But here’s a link to the next chapter of Home Is Where They Have To Take You In. From this chapter on, the rest of the fic will be posted on my journal (or at DW). This is the last chapter being posted tonight, but I may have time to do another one tomorrow.
Fic: ‘Walking at Midday’ by Quinara (PG-13/R)
This is a piece of angsty/squishy/fluffy smoosh that I didn’t have ready for my day, but conveniently have ready now. In which Spike finds a different way of dealing with the trigger!
Author: Quinara
Rating: PG-13/R for, hmm, swearing and reasonably explicit discussion of sex and sexual violence. I’m thinking of it as something like a 15 over here. Teen?
Length: ~7500 words.
Setting: S7, just after Get It Done.
Warnings: Explicit discussion of canonical attempted rape, otherwise no others off the AO3 list.
Fic -Home Is Where They Have To Take You In Chapter Two
I think this is the last chapter I’m going to put up on the community. In the interest of not clogging things up on open posting day, I’ll provide a link to my journal and all the rest of the chapters will be up on there. Probably take me a while though – it’s a beautiful day and I want to work outside, and I need to clean house, so…
Chapter Two
Fic -Home Is Where They Have To Take You In
Okay, it’s open posting day and I’m following rahirah – not my favorite thing to do. Try to avoid comparisons, okay? LOL
This is a future fic that totally ignores the comics, so no issues there (except for people who want to take the comics as canon for post show stuff, in which case, just think of it as an AU fic) I’m going to post the first couple of chapters here, then shift to a link to my journal. I’m six+ chapters in to what is probably going to be a fairly long story (just based on where it is right now). Oh the up side, the chapters are fairly long, so there won’t be as many of them as there could be if they were really short. Good for readers who want to get through the story quickly, not so good for those with short attention spans. *g* The fic was inspired by some art work that kudagirl put up some time ago. I asked her if I could use her picture for a fic and she said yes. This is the result.sult.
Title: Home Is Where They Have To Take You In
Author: Slaymesoftly
Rating: No idea right now. It’s barely PG ATM, but I suspect at some point it could get raunchier.
Summary: Buffy lives in London where she and Giles are running a Slayer/Watcher school. She has found an old house that used to belong to the Pratts and has used some “found” money to buy it and refurbish it to live in. A very weak and badly injured vampire, who claims to be harmless, hides in her garden and she, somewhat to her own surprise, doesn’t stake him right away.
Fic: that stream of consciousness you’re drowning in is called denile
Title: that stream of consciousness you’re drowning in is called denile
Author: Lirazel (penny_lane_42)
Medium: Fiction
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Through the end of Season 8
Summary: Welcome to the brain of Buffy Summers. Watch your step: things can get a bit hard to navigate, between the whitewater rapids of the River Denial and the deep canyons of Attempts at Introspection (and watch out for the quicksand of random fantasies that tend to pop out of nowhere—they’ll suck you in!). And your tour guide most likely won’t be of any help: most of the time, she’s not even sure what’s going on in here.
A/N: First off, this isn’t betaed, because I waited till the last moment again (I’m a horrible person). So I’ll probably keep tweaking it for a while, so don’t be surprised if you revist and something’s slightly different. And my apologies for the pretentiously meta title.
This fic is set post-S8, but I assure you that you don’t have to have read the comics to understand (or, hopefully, enjoy) it. It makes allusions to the broader plot points and themes of the comics, but I feel pretty comfortable saying that even if you don’t recognize Buffy from them, you’ll recognize her here. What I’m saying is, don’t let the comics association keep you from reading, okay?
Thanks, as always, to snickfic (for help with the ending) and angearia (for endless encouragement).

Ring of Fire 1/5
Well, today is my day to post and I have a small fic offering. I’m posting this unbeta’d so I don’t miss my date but will replace it with the prettied up version once my spectacular and perfect Beta does her magic (since she is trying to get her own story completion ready to post I didn’t want to add to her stress). I believe it to be readable at this point so you shouldn’t have to cringe but Mary makes it just perfect and that’s how I’ll want the final version to be.
Thank you to the mods who keep this site alive and to all who contribute to our little fandom treasure trove. I’m excited that I get to start reading and enjoying now that mine is done!
Without further ado then:
Title: Ring of Fire
Rating: PG13 with a very mild R in the 4th chapter
Summary: Loving Buffy is never a stable environment as Spike has learned since her return from heaven. All he’s done is to try to help and all it’s achieved is to make things worse. So what might actually help this broken Slayer?
Setting: S6 all canon through “Dead Things” then it goes AU to varying degrees after Chapter 1.
None So Blind
Whoops! Just squeaking in under the wire. Here’s a little “quickie” ficlet to take the place of the one I didn’t quite finish. It’s really rough, but my laptop is overheating again, so even though I had set aside the entire weekend for writing, I’ve had to do it in short, spaced-out spurts.
The other two stories are almost done, but they’ll have to wait until the free-for-all day. I’ll also polish this one up and post it to my LJ at a later date.
In the meantime, many thanks to all involved. I’m soooo ready to check out all the great offerings!
