Warning: Buffy/Other and some suggested Spike/Other
Note: What do you get when you try to let a neural network write Spuffy fan fiction? Here you see one of many possible results. Some highlights: Spike losing his virginity while on LSD; an upsetting Buffy/Spike kiss leads to Spike’s arrest; some Riley bashing for those who like that sort of thing; and Angelus owning a comics shop.

I heard that making art with your hands is supposed to be a grounding activity, so I’ve been playing with a watercolor kit and also an ink pen and a delightful metallic marker. Can confirm, doodling stars all over this thing was incredibly relaxing.

Parts 1 and 2 are here.
Part 3
Giles turned his gaze on Spike. “I suppose I should thank you for helping Buffy remain alive,” he said. “Although I’m extremely curious as to why you did it. What is your motivation for such unusual behavior?”
Buffy had turned to face Giles, leaving her back to Spike who once again rested one hand lightly against it.
“When I figure that out, I’ll let you know,” Spike said, eyes briefly flaring yellow. “Maybe. Maybe I’ll just decide it’s none of your business.”

Last submission for today – In advance, thanks for checking out my work and Best Wishes to all our Spuffy friends during these tragic times of Covid-19. Love, Peace and Life Blessings to all of you.

The theme of “benefits” works so well with these two characters – so much pain and suffering with all their sexual dysfunctional relationship to contrast with the spiritual and emotional growth that they brought to each other.

Thanks to everyone involved in this latest Seasonal Spuffy round – wonderful artwork and stories for all the Spuffy lovers to enjoy. Thank You all very much.
I worked on a few pieces trying to use the Frineds With Benefits theme – excellent choice of theme. I will post three of them today and some others for the final Free Day. Hope you like them.

Enemies with Benefits (School Hard) banners

Rating: safe for work
My first contribution for today! Three “Enemies with Benefits” banners. The first is a slightly improved version of my banner #10 from the banner contest (you always see the flaws when it’s too late :-) and the second is a blue background version of the same banner. The third is a different banner based on the same idea. I could only submit one of the three to the banner contest and decided on the first one, but I’m curious to hear if you think I made the right choice.

Customize your own Playmobil® Spuffy – a DIY tutorial
Title: Customize your own playmobil Spuffy – a DIY tutorial
Creator: flowspuffy
I have seen regular or customized Funko Pop Spuffy and also customized Lego Spuffy but I haven’t come across Playmobil Spuffy yet. Playmobil is a huge thing for kids here in Germany, about as huge as Lego is. There are some kids who are either Lego-kids or Playmobil-kids but my little one generously plays with both and has the equivalent of a small toy department’s warehouse stored in his room. However, for this tutorial, I only used one Lochaber axe out of his stock and it was given freely to me. I bought the rest of the figurines from various sellers on eBay local. I am sorry to have to admit that at least one figurine and also a kitchen knife were severely harmed during the process. We all know Buffy is a complex character. I needed three different figurines to create a remote likeness.

Hello everyone! A little late, I know, but here I am. As always I have to catch up but how are you? A big hug for you and your family, it’s difficult for many and this, well, they’re icons and it’s distracting me so if you’re having a very bad time I hope this helps to distract you for a while. You do it with me too, all the time you write, all the time you do something, thanks for being there. <3

A/N: I finished this story quite some time ago but have been putting off posting. I’m sorry to say it doesn’t much fit this round’s theme. Rather, I was giving myself a deadline so I had to start posting. It’s quite a long story, ~150,000 words, and I’ll continue posting to the usual places (AO3, ff.net, and Elysian Fields). Thanks to stallwartsandall and MiseEnPlace for the very helpful beta work! I revise somewhat obsessively, sometimes adding new mistakes after beta-ing, so if you catch anything lmk.

13 Icons
I think it’s my day – so if I am wrong, sorry!
I had actually made 40 icons over the last couple of weeks, however when I turned on my lap-top late last night to upload them, I found the lap-top totally dead. So I have been busy today … I hope that these are OK!
Here are 3 teasers –
The 13 are here at my journal
Thanks again to all the mods for their hard work.
