Fic: I Never (2/2)

[annapurna_2]

Apologies for the just-under-the-wire posting and also for the rush job on this part. I had set aside the weekend to finish off this story (started during the last round of seasonal_spuffy ), as well as a Randy/Joan story in the same AU-verse as “Mortgage Crisis” and “Dear Randy”. But real life had other plans, so I’ve been finishing up this one tonight and I’ll just have to finish and post the Randy/Joan ficlet to my LJ at a later date. Hopefully soon.

 

Many thanks to the lovely moderators for making it possible for us to share these characters we love so much.

 

Medium: Fic

Title: I Never (2/2)

Author: annapurna_2

Setting: Season 9 comics (AU post-Issue #1)

Rating: PG

Warning: Slight mention of Spike/Other

Genre: Um, not sure. Relationship fic? Comics fic?

Summary: Did they or didn’t they? Plus Buffy has a little competition for Spike’s attention and she’s not sure how to handle it. (Yes, I’ve taken so long to wrap up this little two-parter that I’ve been thoroughly and irrevocably Jossed by the latest issues of Season 9. Just consider this my own little version of an AU world where Buffy isn’t as hung up on “normal” as her current incarnation, ’kay?)

 

For those who haven’t read Part 1, it can be found here.

( And the conclusion is here... )

 

 

Fic: Fire in the Soul (4/?)

[rebcake]

What do you know?! I've got another chapter of my San Francisco story/travelogue ready for seasonal_spuffy!

Title: Fire in the Soul (4/?)
Author: Rebcake 
Rating: PG13
Word count: 3370
Pairing: Spike/Buffy, but also quite a bit of Dru, though not in this chapter.
A/N: Thanks for the quickie beta by MiAmor. Some photos contained herein are copyrighted as noted. NOT comics compliant.
Summary: A few years after Sunnydale’s spectacular demise, Buffy and her crew are getting on with their lives in San Francisco. A not entirely unwelcome blast from her past (Spike! It's Spike!) blows into town, but he’s brought more than the generally allowable amount of baggage with him. 

Previously: 
Chapter 1 on LJ / Chapter 1 on DW — In which a "chance" encounter leads to strong language and less-than-adult behavior. Also: animal magnetism.
Chapter 2a on LJ / Chapter 2a on DW — In which Dawn makes her feelings known and Buffy tries not to.
Chapter 2bc on LJ / Chapter 2bc on DW— In which Buffy gets on with her Sunday, which naturally ends up being weird.
Chapter 3 on LJ / Chapter 3 on DW  — In which Buffy checks in with Giles and has another bizarre vampire meet up.

New today:
Chapter 4 on LJ / Chapter 4 on DW — In which Buffy possibly overthinks things before she and Spike try that new-fangled “communication” thing.
