A/N: nvrbnkisst demanded to know how that “Dead Things” rug scene could have gone differently. What ensues here is entirely my fault. Thanks as always to ghostyouknow27 and diamondtook862!

Fic: Drainage (1/1)
I hope knifeedgefic and ladyofthelog will forgive me for horning in on their day. I had some connectivity problems yesterday, which made it harder to post, but impossible to do final edits in Google Docs.
This is a short early S6 ficlet, from the era when Spike and Buffy were tentative friends.

Feedback: Yes, please.
Ficlet: How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Words
Title: How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Words
Author: Jen (the delinquent – one more week of classes and then finals, and then I get to all of the seasonal_spuffy reading/viewing reward goodness! *insert*chortle*)
Medium: The ficletiest of ficlets
Rating: G
Setting: post-NFA, on the occasion of an anniversary (because in my world, there would so be anniversaries!)
Fiction: The Fourth Wish: Prologue
It’s my seasonal_spuffy debut. *curtseys* I am delighted to be on board and I’m Spuffy to the core!
Title: The Fourth Wish: Prologue part 1/?
Author: scarlett2u
Setting: Post-series. Prologue covers the series as aired. Story goes AU in early s8.
Rating: Probably R overall; this prologue is PG
Genre: It’s an AU/wishverse
General Disclaimer: Although I am a Spuffy enabler, I did not create and do not own the characters, canon, or anything else that might to Joss Whedon or Mutant Enemy Productions. If I did, it would be Spuffy 24/7 and that little Grrr!Argggh! guy would hang out in my home office. I am not about the profit, just the love. My icon was created by the lovely and talented beloved_77
Summary: What if Buffy said those all-important little words: “I wish…”?
Feedback: Last night, I went to TGI Friday’s and the entire wait staff sang me a very long birthday song and gave me a huge ice cream sundae. I’m lactose intolerant and I blush on occasion. Obviously, your feedback would be much better for me.
Fic: Domesticity
Title: Domesticity
Author: gabrielleabelle
Era: Post-series
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 9,364 words
Genre: Curtainfic
Summary: Detailing one day in the life of our couple. We’ve seen them in battle, and we’ve seen them in bed (or, well, missing the bed). Now we get to see them in the happily ever after as they contend with flooded apartments, grocery shopping, and nosy teenage Slayers.
A/N: First, special thanks to all the wonderful ladies running the show, especially ladyofthelog. Then big super thanks to my betas, angearia and gryfndor_godess. Both of you were essential for making this story work!
Now, I hope everyone enjoys some fun domestic fic. :)
Mostly Sweet (with a few nuts)
Whew. This is coming in just under the wire. For those of you that haven’t heard of me, I posted a little story some time ago. It’s titled Origins and can be found on a few of the archive sites. This is a future pic, set in that ‘verse, so some knowledge of the happenings will be necessary. There’s only a brief Spike/Buffy scene in this, but their relationship is the thread that binds all this together, so hopefully it’ll fit the criteria. If not, the mods can remove it. I won’t be insulted.

Title: Mostly Sweet (with a few nuts)
Word Count: 6,260
Setting: Post The Gift, veers from canon before Buffy’s return. Set in the future of the Originsverse (but there’s an explanation in the notes!)
[A/N: What a fool I am. I said, once upon a time, that ‘no, I’d never write seven stories in the Originsverse’, and ‘I don’t think I can come up with enough plots for seven stories’. Right. Feel free, right now, to tell me what an idiot and a fool I am. Because, lo and behold, I’ve written more than seven stories – counting the one-shots. So there are: Origins, Origins: Bridge, Revelations, Resolutions, Destinies, I Hate How I Love You, All I Want Is You, God Only Knows, Family, and… now this one. I’m hoping to keep this one quick, and without much drama – I consider this one to be more of a “catching up with the future” than something lengthy and plotty. Because heaven knows I can get caught up in a plot. So, here it is...]
Dark Night of the Soul
I’m not completely comfortable with tagging, since no matter when I do it, it always comes out wrong, so I’ll just give you guys a general heads-up on the content, and then someone far more LJ savvy than I can make it all pretty later (and whoever does has my heartfelt thanks!).

Title: Dark Night of the Soul
Word Count: 3,663 (minus note and quote)
Setting: Post Chosen, then veers off canon. Not comic compliant in the least.
Um. I think that’s it. Oh, feedback would be lovely, since it’s been so damn long since I wrote anything, the muse is starving for attention.
After the Deluge – Chapter 19
This one’s just a link to my own LJ, as it’s a chapter in my WIP, Spuffy in eventual aim, which I started on this comm this time last year. It’s now up to Chapter Nineteen.
Finally, many, many thanks to our lovely mods for keeping this comm running, and to all the contributors who never fail to amaze and humble me with the sheer quality as well as quantity of their work.
Personal Ad Love
Title: Personal Ad Love
Author: maryperk73703
Pairings: Spuffy (of course)
Timeline Notes: Spike still came back to Sunnydale during “Lover’s Walk”, but he didn’t kidnap Xander or Willow. Instead he found Buffy first, and he talked to her. When he found out about Angelus’ (Angel’s) return to this realm he gave her the same speech about blood and friends that he did in the episode.
Summary: Buffy finds love after breaking up with Angel.
Not my best/favorite story, but I hope someone likes it anyway.
Fic: Fire in the Soul (1/?)
My second offering is a WIP, since inspiration struck rather late. More to follow on open posting day, or on my journal.
Title: Fire in the Soul (1/?)
Author: Rebcake
Rating: PG13, this chapter
Word count: 4400
Warnings: A bit Dru-ish
A/N: NOT comics or S8 compliant, but might’ve been inspired by discussion surrounding a panel in one of the recent IDW Spike comics. No comics knowledge required. Beta’d by snickfic, who has seen every word and can be held completely liable for any mistakes. (Kidding! She was awesome, but then I messed around with it some more. Tsk.) Some photos contained herein are copyrighted as noted.
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.
Fic: Boots to the Fire (Escape)
Happy Easter, everybody! I’ve got a couple of things for you today, both set in scenic San Francisco, California. If Joss can do it, why not the rest of us, right? First up, a cheery little one-shot!
Title: Boots to the Fire (Escape)
Author: Rebcake
Rating: PG13
Word count: 2350
A/N: Ostensibly set just after the end of the Season 8 comics, but you need not have read (or liked) them in order to enjoy this bit o’ fluff.
Summary: In the grand old (since January 2011) tradition of Spuffy fic centered around Dawn and Xander’s San Francisco fire escape, I bring you a story that begins with a make-out scene…

Betas: My heartfelt thanks to these folks. dampersnspoons , whose excellent ideas, enthusiastic support, and patient guidance are the reasons I can do this at all. This story would not exist (or be readable) without her. lostboy_lj , who daily holds up the firmament with his kindness, wit and insight. anythingbutgrey , who graciously lent me her giant brain for this first part to ensure Angel got done right. She gets an extra special thank you, since she agreed to beta despite being as far from a Spuffy as a fan can get. Thank you, Elyssa.
Summary: Some important battles are fought with weapons, and some aren’t. Some we can see and others blind us. Some even involve marbles. All of them lead us away from home and back again, one way or another.

It’s April 20th in my time zone! I hope I am not stepping on anyone’s toes in an earlier time zone by posting at the crack of 12:30 AM. Today I have a 25,000-word fic in five parts. Assuming there’s no Internet failure in my hotel later, I will post everything today. Thank you so much ladyofthelog, snickfic, angearia, and all the taggers for maintaining this wonderful community!

Summary: Anya wants to know why she never sees Spike’s bite marks on Buffy’s neck. Buffy wants to know why Spike never asked her to do anything of the sort.
A/N: This fic is set in my post-NFA verse in early 2006. A complete list of the fics in the verse is here, but it’s not necessary to have read any of them to read this. All you need to know is:
-The PTB rewarded Angel, Spike, and Gunn for destroying LA’s W&H by saving Gunn’s life and resurrecting Cordelia and Anya at the vampires’ requests.
-After spending two years in London the Scooby gang moved to New Sunnydale, which has been rebuilt but is not a hellmouth, in summer 2005 to open a second, U.S. based slayer academy.
The established couples are Buffy/Spike, Anya/Xander, Willow/Oz, Cordelia/Angel, and Dawn/Gunn.

Offering Two… part 1 of 5, more of a teaser for four longer parts to come. An AU season 4, styled a la the AUs on the show– canon world, one big difference with for-want-of-a-nail impact. Hopefully will be fun! Expect the rest on free-for-all-day?

So, anyone else remember Celia, Buffy’s cousin from Killed by Death? Barely? Well, this would probably be the Celiaverse… created pretty much just for the Spuffy dynamic thereof. But the whole cast should show.
Shadowy Corners
Sorry this is on the line of late ~ I’m on Central US time currently (in New Orleans, which is nice since it’s still snowing at home in Buffalo). Suffice to say, life is big on the crazy and grad school is evil. Also, the Internet and livejournal apparently dislike me… But I’m really excited to be posting ~ first Seasonal Spuffy! but although I’ve been spending every (few and far between) spare minutes writing, I don’t have as much for you as I intended. Hopefully you’ll still enjoy anyway. I have a short one-shot, below, and a teaser scene for a four-part AU season four fic to follow, probably on free-for-all-day. Happy reading and I can’t wait to rededicate my free time to reading what everyone else has been posting!!

Rating: All Ages
Genre: …er, doughy conversation?
I was going to link a download to “Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop,” which is very on-the-nose and not a song that would automatically make me think Spuffy, except that it did. And I say “I was going to” because trying to link makes my entry post crash and burn. but if anyone wants it, give me a shout. Enjoy!
