Title: The Distance Between Us
Author: PrettyPoppy
Summary: Nineteen years after leaving Sunnydale, Spike encounters a startlingly familiar young woman fighting vampires in the alleyways of London – a young woman who holds the key to both his past and his future.
Rated: R
Author’s Notes: In this fic, Spike leaves Sunnydale sometime between “As You Were” and “Entropy,” so it doesn’t follow canon after the middle of Season 6. I’m loathe to label this baby fic, but I suppose it technically is, even though the baby in this case is 18-years-old. This is the first chaptered fanfic I’ve written in more than six years. (And I’m still a little bit in shock.) Many thanks to the wonderful enigmaticblues for all her hard work in putting this round together.
Disclaimer: Nope. I don’t own Spike or Buffy. Everything belongs to Joss, Mutant Enemy, and whoever else has a legal right to it.

Fic: “The Glory and the Dream”
Title: The Glory and the Dream
Author: Maia
Rating: PG
Words: 1224
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Thank you to enigmaticblues for hosting!
Notes: This story takes place in my Gifts-verse, where Spike was resurrected as a human after “Chosen” in 2003 and went back to the name William. In 2008 he and Buffy were reunited, in 2009 they married, in 2011 they had a daughter named Eleanor and in 2015 they had a son named Geoffrey.
The title and several quotes are from William Wordsworth’s Ode Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood.
There is also a quote from W.H. Auden’s September 1, 1939.
Warnings: I hesitate to post this story. It is very, very dark. I’m not even sure it’s “canon” for my Gifts-verse.
Summary:
Whither is fled the visionary gleam?
Where is it now, the glory and the dream? Continue Reading

For this fall’s round of seasonal_spuffy… a continuation of the fic I started posting for last fall’s round of seasonal_spuffy. One chapter now, one chapter after I get some dinner, and, if I’m very lucky, one chapter just before midnight. (Sooo… close…)
Title: Though I Walk Through the Valley…
Author: randi (randi2204)
Rating: PG-13 to R for some disturbing images and content
Notes/Warnings: Angst, angst, character death and angst.
Summary: The unthinkable happens, but when Spike is gone, Buffy realizes she needs him back. No matter what.
Part Four…
I’ve added bits to this since dawnofme became my champion and betaed at the last minute! So all and every mistake of course is mine, as humiliating as that responsibility is, LOL.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this fic and I hope I’m still around or the next season!
Part three: Spike’s journey
Part Two
Part One
I’m really excited to be contributing to this community again.
This fic was originally written for nikilicious05 Unfortunately I hadn’t finished the final chapter before she left us and I’m a cranky at myself for not getting it done. The working title in my mind has always been ‘Nikki’s Story’ and I am struggling to think of an appropriate title now that its going to be shared with everyone, so I am open to suggestion. Anyway, I hope you enjoy. Thank you to everyone for supporting this community and thank you to enigmaticblue for keeping it alive!
Fic title:
Rating: PG

Betas: Many thanks as always to the incomparable Holly, and enthusiastic hugs of welcome to my new beta, dawnofme. Between the two of you, you’ve beaten me well into shape!
Disclaimer: All characters belong to Joss Whedon. I claim no financial reward from trying to emulate him.
Fic – The Great Divide
My entry for the prompt “distance.” Thanks to enigmaticblues for giving us this community, and for cindergal for once again being my wonderful beta.
Set after series, with some concession to the comic books. Reading them is not a prerequisite, but there are a few references.
PG, maybe PG13 if you squint. 3087 words.
Fic: This Side of Forever
Hi everyone! Just one offering for you this season, but I hope you enjoy – and now I get to relax and go appreciate everyone else’s contributions!
Title: This Side of Forever
Author: Brutti_ma_buoni
Rating: PG13
Summary: a pocket dimension with no one to fight. Surely not the perfect place for a Spuffy reunion?
A/N: The idea for this fic was originally sparked by a banner made by amyxaphania for the good__evil artathon, which I didn’t have time to tackle during the artathon itself. But she kindly allowed me to use it belatedly as inspiration for this fic. Discussions with rahirah about pocket dimensions planted a little of the mechanics of this in my brain, but this dimension has nothing to do with hers. The full banner is at the end of the fic, but here’s a little taster:
Fic: Night of St. Vigeous
I was going to wait until the morning to post this, but I got all impatient. ;) But no worries! xochantelly will be posting later in the day to keep you entertained.
What’s every vampire’s favorite holiday? Why, the Night of St. Vigeous, of course! This Spuffy-centric remix of “Real Me” clocks in at 3400 words and a PG-13 rating. Much love to my beta, angearia, who went above and beyond to make this story more awesome!
Fic: Prism
Title: Prism
Author: Lirazel (penny_lane_42)
Genre: Angst, comedy, drama, romance
Rating: PG-13
Timeline: Season 7, episodes “Bring on the Night” through “Chosen”
Disclaimer: Joss is boss.
Note: This is a companion piece of sorts to Kaleidoscope. If the ending leaves you wanting, head over and check out “Kaleidoscope” as the sequel.
Thanks to: angearia for invaluable insight into what makes each of the Potentials tick, for advice on how to make their voices distinct, for ideas on how to write a character who doesn’t speak English, and for various other priceless thinky thoughts that no doubt saved me from total meltdown; enisy for finding me an appropriate anime character; snickfic for coming through at the last minute and saving me from some potentially (heh) embarrassing mistakes; and hazyflights for being the greatest person ever and for reactions. Any errors or weaknesses are mine alone.
Summary: Sometimes it takes an outsider’s perspective to really see the truth of things. Other times… well, people do say that context is everything, right?
Full Circle (WIP)
First – I’m posting a little late for my time zone (life has been a little busy today). Sorry!
Second – I started this story 4 Seasonal Spuffy rounds ago. The story kind of got away from me. Please follow the fake cut to my journal. You can catch up on the earlier parts before reading Part 6. I’m planning on finishing this for the free for all day.
Third – Thank you, enigmaticblues, for running the community and organizing the cats.
Enjoy!
Comments always welcome.
