Hey all. It’s my day. I have six chapters of WIP to post. I meant to finish the story, but alas the plot kitties took a vacation on me. This story is a new genre for me, and I’m not sure I was able to successfully write it.
Title: Voracity
Medium: Fic
Author: maryperk
Genre: Horror
Warnings: Major Character death, Minor Character death, Original Character Death
Rating: R for language and violence
Summary: Something strange is going on in Sunnydale. It’s up to Buffy to figure out what.
Disclaimer: I own only the Original Characters, and they can be borrowed if you ask.
AN: Thanks to dawnofme and spikeslovebite for betaing and helping me with this chapter.
Full Circle: Part 8 & 9
It’s my posting day! I’m finishing up “Full Circle.” Unfortunately, life happened and while I’m this close (imagine my fingers centimeters apart) to being finished, I’m not quite. *sigh* BUT… here’s a huge update for you, posted at my writing journal, writero. Enjoy!
Title: Full Circle
Rating: R
Medium: Fanfic
Setting: Early Season 3 and then it goes wildly AU after that
Author’s Note: This is most definitely an off cannon piece. I’m going to try to keep the characterization in cannon, but in the end I have to go where Buffy and Spike take me. Many thanks to ladypeyton! I couldn’t do this without you! I’ve reposted everything here – some has been tweaked – but mostly so you don’t have to go fishing for the story. Thanks to louise39 for some typo catches!
Looking Outside In Part 2/2
Summary: Spike and Buffy spend an evening getting to know each other better at Willie’s Bar.
Disclaimer: Characters owned solely by Joss Whedon. I just keep sticking everyone inside Willie’s.
Rating: PG-13 for Spike’s language. 6700 words. Two parts.
A/N: Could be considered part of my Hellmouth ‘Slice series of one-shots, although it stands alone just fine. Not truly canon, it squeezes into the timeline somewhere after a chipped Spike gamely begins fighting alongside the Scoobies. A lighthearted story, it darkens for a bit in the second half.
Thank you to enigmaticblues for the beta work. As always, you rock J.
Here’s the second half below the cut.
Looking Outside In Part 1/2
Hi Everyone. It’s my turn to post and here’s my contribution-a short story from Spike’s POV.
Hope you enjoy it.

Seven Stages to Clarity Chapter 1
Title: Seven Stages to Clarity
Author: Pfeifferpack
Medium: Fiction
Rating: PG
Summary: When facing eternity, a good mother will try to put all her affairs in order. That means getting real, seeing clearly and putting your own heart’s desires on hold, your dreams in perspective, letting your brain control your advice. Now if only those you love will just cooperate! Joyce looks to her daughter’s future as her own mortality becomes an issue and comes to some startling conclusions. Can Joyce convince Buffy to forget all that she has been telling her, all that everyone has been telling her, thereby easing Joyce’s own worries before facing the hospital and possible death?
Setting: S5 and begins to go AU at the end of “Fool For Love” (written by Douglas Petrie). I am using bits of dialogue from that episode in the beginning of the story before it goes a very different direction.
A/N: Elizabeth Kübler-Ross identified a grief cycle (her initial number of stages was five) that occurs when people deal with death or grieving. The current feeling is that there are more like seven stages, hence my title. Those stages encompass: Shock and denial, pain and guilt, anger and bargaining, depression and loneliness (or a period of reflection realizing the full impact of the loss), an upward turn of adjustment, reconstruction of life with the change, and finally acceptance and hope.
This season’s theme was “head vs. heart”. Oft times what appears logical and right to any sane person–your heart’s desire, as it were–is not the correct choice after all, not when facing your own exit.
Much thanks, as always, to my fabulous Beta and perfect little sister, Scarlett2U (Mary). Without her wise advice and diligent care in the grammar and punctuation corrections, my stories would suffer terribly! Thank you, sweetie, you are the best!

Fic: From the Heart (1/1)
Title: From the Heart
Pairing/Characters: Spike/Buffy
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Summary: Just once, could Buffy listen to her heart for a change?
A/N: Thanks to spikesdeb for pretty-ing things up for me. Excuse my post-readthru fiddle, it’s a habit. *sigh* Mistakes are all mine… see anything amiss, whisper in my ear, would ya? Written for seasonal_spuffy.
A/N2: Huge thanks to enigmaticblues for putting this together once again.

Days before her wedding, Buffy spots a familiar face on the street outside her home, but when she starts to go after him, she’s halted by her fiancé.
