And, after only a dozen years, it's the end.

Thanks to all the people who commented and encouraged me over the years.

( Chapter 30: A New Day )

And that's it, done. Comments would be warmly appreciated.

gillo

Yes, more than one chapter in a day. And the final chapter to come, too.

( The Well Calls )

Comments would be much loved and nurtured.

The next, and final, chapter is here.

It's my day at

seasonal_spuffy and I am using it to bring to a conclusion a fic, After the Deluge, which I started in October 2010! A burglary, two Masters' degrees and a bereavement got in the way, as well as a little global pandemic and major political upheavals, but I have actually finally made my way to the end. I have started posting it at Elysian Fields, with the faint hope someone there might choose to read it. There will be more later on today.

You might like to refresh your memory of it here.

Quick summary - post NFA, Spike and Buffy have finally met to combat the resurgent First Evil in the Cotswolds - indeed, at the site of the Deeper Well. Rupert Giles has a brother, Oscar, who has not been behaving at all well.

( Chapter 28: The Deepest Dark )

The next, penultimate, chapter is here.

Yes, I crave attention. I mean that about the comments. ;-)

I enjoyed visualising our pair trapped in the deeply weird Britain of 2020. This week cultural clashes work both ways, and for the last Free-For-All posting day of this round of

seasonal_spuffy I offer a Thanksgiving companion piece to Fireworks

Thanks are due to all the mods (including your humble servant for a while) and contributors who have kept this wonderful event going for fifteen years, and to the ~~lurkers~~ readers and viewers who have made it worthwhile. May you have lots to be actively thankful for in the year to come, and a year containing far fewer apocalypses than 2020 has offered so far.

Title: Thanks to Spike

Era/season/setting: Present day.

Inspired by slaymesoftly's contribution earlier today, I started messing about with PS. This is the result.

I volunteered for today because it is a date with meaning over here in England. Poor old Guy Fawkes; sometimes you can't help but feel his heart was in the right place. And this year it's the day my country goes back into lockdown while across the Atlantic big decisions have still not been finalised.

This story is set now. Spike and Buffy have settled down, and moved relatively recently to England, only to be hit hard by the mess that is 2020. IOW it's a bit of fluff.

Rating: R for implied sexytimes.

Not something I could miss - the beginning of it all for the Spuffy-inclined amongst us. In honour of the occasion this fic is new. Also posted on LJ.

Juliet Mills, daughter of Sir John, sister of Hayley, was in the film Avanti! in 1972, for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. She later went on to play the role of Tabitha in Passions. Spike couldn't have watched the soap in 1997, as it started in 1999, but I liked the idea of a little shout-out.

All belongs to Joss, but he did say we could play with his toys.
Rating - R for language (It's Spike), but otherwise PG13.

Comments make me happy. So does thinking about Spike.

It's my day, and with my characteristic degree of preparedness, my fic is incomplete. Here, however, are some icons. Feel free to take any - credit is nice, comments make me happy.

( More beneath the cut... )

OK, a little late, but it's still Friday in plenty of places! It's so cool to see so many contributions piling up in this round. Here's my little offering - vaguely post-NFA, not particularly comics-compliant. It's that time of year again, when things build to a head and apocalypses have to be faced one more time.

This one's just a link to my own LJ, as it's a chapter in my WIP, Spuffy in eventual aim, which I started on this comm this time last year. It's now up to Chapter Nineteen.

(Follow the fake cut to my LJ.)

Finally, many, many thanks to our lovely mods for keeping this comm running, and to all the contributors who never fail to amaze and humble me with the sheer quality as well as quantity of their work.

I don't usually write anything more extreme than teenage. This surprised me.

My day! ::pauses for squee::

::Calms down::

There will be fic in a little while - a one-off plus a chapter, possibly two, of the WIP. But first, we has iconses. All snaggable.

That's all for tonight, but if you like it you can find more in a few days at my own LJ. Thanks again to our lovely mods - and thank you for reading, if you have been!

Chapter One is here.
Chapter Two is here
Chapter Three is here.
Chapter Four is here.
Chapter Five is here.

Free-for-all day already, and another

seasonal_spuffy is almost over. First of all, many thanks to

ladyofthelog and

snickfic for keeping this comm going. And awed thanks to all the other posters who have given us such a cornucopia of good things over the last month. It's nice to know our ship is in good hands.

This post is to link through to two further chapters of the fic I started on my day, a month ago. Then, in a little while, I have two new chapters to share with you. It's not over yet, though - the story's been doing that thing stories do, getting more complicated and expanding on my. There will be more in my own LJ soon, though.

Chapter One is here.
Chapter Two is here
Chapter Three is here.
Chapter Four is here.

Chapter Five, coming soon!

I was 20 minutes late in my time zone, but the kindly mods were kind and let me leave it up.

( After the Deluge - Chapter 2. )

There should be another three or four chapters to come on free-for-all day. I may post some on my own LJ in the interim, but will link from here if I do.
