Fic: Fin Amour (6/6)

angearia
This entry is part 6 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.

Thanks: To penny_lane_42 and ladyofthelog for the amazing beta work (banner also by ladyofthelog ). You ladies keep me sane and forever motivated—love, love, love. Thanks also to enigmaticblues for keeping this community alive. ♥

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.

The Trouble with Harriet 9/9

This entry is part 9 of 9 in the series The Trouble with Harriet

Title: The Trouble with Harriet
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: All series characters and good stuff belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, etc. I am responsible for some original characters (although I stole names from Hitchcock) as well as the lame dialogue and most of the plot. The idea, of course, is stolen from the classic movie, The Trouble with Harry.
Summary: Buffy really needs a vacation, so when the chance arrives, she takes it, even though with a wandering corpse on the loose it’s almost, but not quite, a busman’s holiday. This is set in my cheerful, AU version of Season 6 where everyone sort of gets along and Spike and Buffy are a couple.

If people will stop holding meetings and dropping bombshells at work, I’ll have this done today. If not, I’ll post the ending on the free day, July 1.

This entry is part 3 of 9 in the series The Trouble with Harriet

I posted the first chapters during an earlier round, and I’ve finally almost finished this story. It was going along swimmingly until work and the Doctor Who finale ate my brain. But if I can’t finish the last two chapters and epilogue by today, I’ll post them on the free day, July 1. In the meantime, I have several chapters ready now and will post them throughout the day.

FIC: Always in My Blood (1/1)

spikesdeb

Title: Always in My Blood (1/1)
Season: 5 – but it’s totally whacked out non-canon
Disclaimer: None of it belongs to me, sadly. I just dabble. And drabble – which is coming next.
Summary: Before Spike realises why he’s so interested in Buffy and her comings and goings, he’s spending the evening sharing chocolate with her sister and her mum. Buffy arrives and is none too pleased – here’s what happens next.
Author’s Note: Thanks ever so to seductivembrace for her kind services in making Spike Spike and Buffy the Slayer – which was needed!

Thanks to enigmatic_blue for hosting once again this valuable service to Spuffy lovers everywhere. Where she finds the time to organise these things, I’ve no idea, but I’m delighted that she does. Apologies also for the slightly late posting. I’d explain why, but you’d be bored… I know I was… I hoped to have another ficlet finished, but no. I do have a drabble though – so I’ll post that next.

Fic: All the Difference

Title: All the Difference
Author: Jen
Medium: Ficlet – 1900 words
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: They all belong to Joss, the others. I just play in their sandbox from time to time. It’s such a lovely sandbox, you know?
Summary: A few extra words here, an altered emphasis there, and it all could have gone so differently.
A/N: readerjane is so much my beta hero. Her comments and suggestions on this piece constitute beta-action above and beyond the course of duty. Neither missing words nor plot holes nor impossible deadlines keep my beta from the swift (and brilliant) completion of her appointed rounds, for which I am endlessly grateful – this fic is for you, Jane. Big thanks as well to the lovely enigmaticblues for keeping this community (and thus, the dream) alive and to the other participants for the daily dose of Spuffy goodness. Can’t wait to catch up here, and thank you for reading!

Just one post from me today. Please enjoy! ^_^

Title: Just Like Heaven

Author: PrettyPoppy

Summary: Lying in the warmth of Spike’s arms for the very first time, Buffy is moved to reveal a long-held secret. Set during “Touched.”

Rated: G

Author’s Notes: My sincere thanks to enigmaticblues for keeping this community going. If it wasn’t for Seasonal Spuffy, I probably wouldn’t get any writing done.

Disclaimer: Nope. I don’t own Spike or Buffy. Everything belongs to Joss, Mutant Enemy, and whoever else has a legal right to it.
