Drabble, The First...

[annapurna-2.livejournal.com]

Hello, all. I'm ever so pleased to be sharing this day with the lovely and gifted thisficklemob. I couldn't be in better company. Can hardly wait to read your story, caia!

Also, many thanks to the amazing itmustbetuesday for the marvelous job she's doing with seasonal_spuffy. Kudos!

Now, for my contribution I'll be posting a three-part NC-17 story set in Season 2...but not for a few hours. My muse went on strike last week, so I've still got the last bit of Chapter 2 to finish up as soon as I get a little sleep.

In the meantime, here's the first of three drabbles to kick things off.

Drabble: Fatal Attraction
Author: annapurna_2
Rating: G
Season: I think you'll figure it out. Heh.
Feedback: Thrilled to have it.

Fic: Tekubi, Chapter 1

[thisficklemob.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'm caia, I'll be your co-host here today on seasonal_spuffy, along with the talented annapurna_2.

My main offering will be the first couple chapters of a longer fic I conceived of back in the fall of 2003 based on spoilers for the AtS S5 episode "Damage". Among the differences from canon, Spike's hands are removed at the wrists, and he doesn't immediately get them back. Don't worry, though, there will be plenty of silliness and schmoop as well as angst.

Those allergic to WIPs may like to peruse my completed fiction.


Tekubi, Chapter 1
By: caia
Thanks: to rabid1st, for the spoilers, the cheerleading, and the beta.
Rating: R for now. May stray into NC-17 territory later due to subject matter, but those hoping for pr0n are likely to be disappointed.
Standard disclaimer: The characters aren't mine, just the story.
Non-standard disclaimer: Opinions expressed by the characters or implicit in the storyline do not necessarily represent those of the author.
Distribution: Do not post elsewhere without permission. Ask, I may say yes.
Feedback: craved.

Fred was standing at her desk examining lab reports when she was startled by the mild thud that was Spike caroming off her door frame.

Drabble, The Second

And here's the second offering...

Drabble: Twenty Times
Author: annapurna_2
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Kinda angsty
Feedback: You betcha!

Drabble, The Third...

[annapurna-2.livejournal.com]

Here's my final offering before I go grab some shut-eye. I'll be back later on to post the first part of my NC-17 Season 2 Spuffy fic. The final two parts will follow as soon as I finish up that pesky middle segment and apply a quick buff and polish.

But until then, I leave you with this...

Drabble: Sweet Reunion
Author: annapurna_2
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Kinda schmoopy.
Feedback: I'll be yours forever.

Ficlet: "Pyre"

[thisficklemob.livejournal.com]

This piece was originally intended to be the prologue of a longer story. That story may never be written, and this scene stands as an angsty ficlet on its own.

Rating: PG-13
Set: after the alley beating in "Dead Things"
Disclaimer: Joss owns these characters, the sick bastard.
Distribution: Do not post elsewhere without permission. Ask, I may say yes.
Feedback: adored.
Blurb: Long before considering what she deserved, he promised himself he'd give her what she needed. ( Read more... )

Fic: Something In It (1/3), NC-17

[annapurna-2.livejournal.com]

First off, thanks so much for the comments on the drabbles I posted earlier. You guys are so lovely. I’m eager to reply, but I need to finish up my three-part fic offering before I do that. Many apologies for the delay.

Also, thanks to the extremely talented red_sunflower for the Spuffy icons she posted yesterday. This one seemed so perfect for my fic that I had to snag it! Along with a few others. Heh.

And speaking of the story, here’s the first installment. Chapter 3 is also done, but I have just a bit more to fill in for Chapter 2. I’ll be back with those later. I suspect the story may need some more polishing when all is said and done, but that will have to wait. In the meantime, hope it pleases…



Title: Something In It
Author: annapurna_2
Setting: Season 2, around the time of “What’s My Line – Part 1.” Then it…um…goes a bit AU. Heh.
Pairing: Spike/Buffy
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Spike makes Buffy an offer she can’t refuse.
Feedback: More than I want to breathe.
Author’s Notes: This was something of an interesting experiment for me, using a little different style. We’ll see how that works out. ::rolls eyes::

Fic: Tekubi, Chapter 2

[thisficklemob.livejournal.com]

Thank you, everyone, for your lovely comments on my previous posts. I'll reply to them all when I'm done posting for the day.

If you missed it, in the wee hours this morning I posted Tekubi, Chapter 1, where you can find things like disclaimers and ratings and what the hell is going on here. And now...

Tekubi, Chapter 2
By: caia
Feedback: yes, please.

Spike managed to suppress his buoyancy long enough to claim a place in the back seat of Angel's precious car. ( Read more... )

Fic: Something in It (2/3), NC-17

[annapurna-2.livejournal.com]

Finally back with the rest of the story! Took a lot longer than I thought. The words just weren't coming today. I fear this may be the part where the experiment goes sadly awry. Heh.

At the very least, I foresee some heavy-duty revising in the not-too-distant future. So please believe me when I say that any constructive criticism is most welcome.

Be back with Chapter 3 as soon as I give it a quick, final read-through. In the meantime...

[annapurna-2.livejournal.com]

Ta-da! Back with the final installment. Whew. This part may also need some more tweaking, but if I waited until I was completely satisfied, I'd never get anything posted. Heh.

Once again, many thanks to the lovely itmustbetuesday for all her hard work on seasonal_spuffy. It's been a pleasure taking part and an even bigger pleasure sharing a posting day with the amazing thisficklemob.

Next on the agenda...replying to comments and reading some great fic. Whoo-hoo!

But first...

Fic: Tekubi, Chapter 3

[thisficklemob.livejournal.com]

Thanks again to rabid1st for the lightning-fast beta on this part. I'm still uncertain about parts of this chapter, but I figured you'd rather have two more chapters today than not.

Previously: Tekubi, Chapter 1 | Chapter 2.

Tekubi, Chapter 3
By: caia
Feedback: Absolutely. Including constructive criticism, should you have any.

He was where he'd scarcely dreamed he'd ever be again, in and above his lover, his Slayer.( Read more... )

Fic: Tekubi, Chapter 4

[thisficklemob.livejournal.com]

This will be my last post of the day. (I did tell you this was a WIP.) Thank you everyone for being so supportive and enthusiastic about my work. Special thanks to itmustbetuesday for creating this comm. It was the pressure of having a posting day to fill that finally got me back to working on this long-simmering story.

Now I'm going to kick back, answer comments if I have any coherence left, and indulge in some S2 Spuffy from my buddy in postage, the resplendent annapurna_2. All future chapters of Tekubi will be posted to my journal. Fair warning, a chapter a week is my goal. I work slowly. If you'd like to keep up with this fic but don't want to scroll past my political or gratuitous real life posts to do so, or would rather wait until it's finished, you can watch Tekubi in my memories.

Oh, and if anyone was curious: tekubi is Japanese for wrist, or literally, the hand's neck.

Previously: Tekubi, Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3.

Though she'd said he was leaving her, Spike had expected the opposite to happen. ( Read more... )
