Seven Deadly Sins by BuffyMeetsSpike First I want to clarifyabout saying I wanted a cutscene, that wasn't what I meant. The quick flash was enough, I think I just wanted a quick description of the event. I dug this story a bunch for the pure outlandishness, as well as the subtext of everybody's personal curses. That was just an enjoyable, easy read. Thanks so much! I saw the challenge and I found the idea really interesting. My Roman Catholic upbringing made me just totally connect with the seven deadly sins theme. sister cuervo 01/23/2013 11:59 am Reconciliation Lots to love here. Humour, action and Spuffiness. I agree, the Sins fit the characters very well. I gotta give major props to the person who wrote the challenge. The idea was very well conceived, and really inspired me. Buffy Convert 10/03/2011 12:51 am Reconciliation Beautiful story; loved how it ended. I also like that you didn't make Giles completely unaware that "something" was going on. Can't have Giles knowing everything now... So glad you enjoyed! You did a great job with the requirements - with the exception of Tara and Dawn, all the sins fit the characters perfectly. Even with the other two you did a fine job with how you used their sin. I have enjoyed reading your work over the last few days. Thank you so much! And I figure sloth and teenagers totally go hand in hand. Have you ever had to get a teen out of bed before noon on the weekend? Times like that you want an angry Slayer around. And as for Tara, well, someone had to draw the Gluttony stick. I hope she forgives me. behind blue eyes 08/27/2011 04:42 pm Reconciliation You did an amazing job with this story! It was a pleasure to read from the beginning to the end. Brava! Thank you so much for taking the time to read all the chapters and comment. I really, really appreciate it! You seem to be one of my constant reviewers, and it definitely spurs me on. Thanks again. Thank you for stepping up to the plate and taking on this challenge. What an enjoyable reading and food for thought experience! Thank you so much for taking the time to review all the chapters! Very tidy ending - although I really would have liked to see Xander's reaction to Spuffy... ;-) Yeah, but I didn't want to hang around waiting for his bones to knit... SeaPea 06/14/2011 05:00 am Reconciliation Text Well done! You met the challenge well, using humor and good characterizations. Thank you kindly! Hana 06/13/2011 02:46 pm Reconciliation I think this was a very good way of ending/starting the relationship between Buffy and Spike. I think it would have been out of character (as this story went) for Buffy to sudenly declare undying love for Spike when they clearly have a lot to work through. very good story - enjoyed it throughout! Thank you! I also felt that undying love wasn't right here. But what could be wrong about casual sex with Spike? :-) Had 5 chapters to catch up on - every one of them excellent, I loved this story. Each sin described to a tee each scooby, and the explanation and ending were perfect. Great writing, hope you have some fics/ideas in that brilliant mind of yours. Thank you so much for all the encouraging reviews, Mazza. I have started another fic, hopefully will start posting soon. I would have liked to see an intervention of sorts between Dominic and Gabrial. Like a cutscene of sorts, but this story has been immensely interestin, fun, and had a nice subtlety to all the madness at the same time. Congrats on this. Thank you! behind blue eye 08/27/2011 04:31 pm Redemption Wish I could say more besides I absolutely loved it!!!!!! I'll take it :-) What a fantastic way for the confrontation to play out! Very befitting from a religious viewpoint. Twelve years of Catholic school were not entirely wasted on me I guess.. Outstanding. Can't wait for the fallout. Everyone is going to have to face up to some very uncomfortable home-truths. Thank you! Hope you like the ending. magnus374 06/10/2011 12:21 pm Redemption Now the spell is gone, but where do thej go from here? Always the quintessential Buffy question behind blue eyes 08/27/2011 04:26 pm Fusion Another amazing chapter! Loved it! Seems like I hit the right notes for you. I am so glad. magnus374 06/07/2011 11:47 am Fusion Now they now what and how, just needs to find out who and how to solve the problem. And the plot thickens... Buffy Convert 10/02/2011 11:13 pm Fallout Text Oh, good chapter. Lovely, lovely, lovely. But I can't believe she kicked him the balls. Brat! Well, he did ask for it... behind blue eyes 08/27/2011 04:18 pm Fallout Amazing chapter! Well, he did say he'd rather be kneed in the balls than hit in the face again! LOL Careful what you wish for Spikey... Spike got his wish from a previous chapter. (Hee hee!) Yeah. Poor Spike.... magnus374 06/07/2011 11:35 am Fallout Spike doesn't seem to have been worse, he can somewhat control himself. He told Buffy he loved her and she reacted as expected. Well, he sorta lost it with Harmony a bit... Oh dear - it's all gone wrong again... poor Spike. Has the most unfortunate luck with women, don't you think? Spike <3 06/04/2011 11:39 pm Fallout Awwwwww, poor spikey! Great chapter, more soon? Well, he did ask not to get punched in the nose. Careful what you wish for... hng23 06/04/2011 09:20 pm Fallout Wow. I just read the whole thing in one sitting. This is really really good! I shall bookmark & look forward to (hopefully frequent) updates. Good stuff! Thank you so much! New update coming up! You had a good bit of menace going on a couple of chapters back, and I liked the way you cooled it down, but it's back with a vengeance for this chapter. Thank you for taking the time to review all these chapters! Buffy Convert 10/02/2011 10:43 pm Fission Oh, my! This is really getting scarey. But very good. The dialogue is great. TextBuffymeetsSpike, are you from England? There isn't Oxfam in the U.S. It would be either GoodWell or Salvation Army. Or maybe Willow has traveled a lot; she is a rich girl. I'm from the US, but it's what came to mind when I was writing. Don't know why exactly - one of those mysteries of my brain... behind blue eyes 08/27/2011 04:08 pm Fission ah...it's all coming to a head now! Love it! Glad you're still enjoying it. So Willow didn't only intensify the effects on Tara, but on all of them. This is becoming Very Nasty! More please........ Wish granted! magnus374 06/03/2011 01:35 pm Fission Now they are even worse, I really hope Spike won't meet any females before they solve this. Buahahaha. Check the next chapter... Mo 06/03/2011 10:32 am Fission Oh shit!!!!!!That was awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for the next update!!! Thank you! Next update just posted! Buffy Convert 10/02/2011 09:59 pm Divergence Text That was funny, Spike saying he'd welcome a kick in the balls, just for a change of pace! I don't which one is scarier right now, Buffy or Willow! I've been very curious as to whether Spike would dare to tell Giles about his own problem - or if he could somehow coordinate ideas with G. w/o actually saying what was his exact problem... I'm going to go for Buffy as scarier, just because Willow is sometimes inept at it. But I don't see Spike telling Giles about his sex problems. Behind blue eyes 08/27/2011 03:56 pm Divergence Loved Willow's line: "...So just point those glasses somewhere else!” LOL!!! Giles must have had to buy glasses by the gross. It seems it's up to Giles to find the culprit. The idea is in his head. Hope he does not let it fly. You nailed a sense of increasing building climax. Something has to be done soon. Glad I could keep the anticipation going... poor Tara, let's hope Giles can work something out and stop Willow from getting carried away. Nice to see Joyce confiding in Giles and now Spike realises something is wrong. Great chapter, thanks. You're welcome! New chapter coming up! So glad Giles and Joyce both realise something is wrong - and now Spike too. Hope they figure it out before Willow does a spell that makes it all ten times worse... and what on earth do Jonathan and Andrew have planned? Jonathan and Andrew were thrown into the story on a wave of inspiration. Not sure if they will stay in, or just wash back out to wreak havoc in some other story. I'm finding this story is surprising me as I write it. Usually I have the whole thing pretty much mapped out end to end before I write word one. This one I'm finding all sorts of ideas popping up as I go along that make me change my mind. Hope it still makes sense! Buffy Convert 10/02/2011 09:45 pm Convergence TextHot! And sooo funny. Well, except for Tara; that's not funny. Glad you're enjoying. I hate to do that to Tara, I like her a lot. But curses go that way. Behind blue eyes 08/27/2011 03:49 pm Convergence Great chapter! Thanks again! magnus374 05/30/2011 09:30 am Convergence At least Giles is starting to see a problem, if he understand their differences in how they act he may get the right idea. Gotta feel for poor Giles, He's surrounded by psycho young folks 24/7. I may need to provide him more scotch soon. ooh its all getting very tense, and loved the ending, she would just sock him on the nose! great writing still. Poor Spike. The only bone I ever broke was my nose, so I feel his pain. Thanks for the review! I'll try to get the next chapter up soon, but it's still in progress. Hahah, this is getting simultaneously funnier and darker the longer this goes on. Read on, Macbeth! behind blue eyes 08/27/2011 03:33 pm Unraveling Loved the interaction between the characters! That stuff is so much fun to write, I gotta say. "Angel in a tutu" Hilarious! I wonder what instigator is up to right about now? Wait and see... great update - title says it all, everyone is coming undone, and possibly coming together at the Magic Box for some enlightenment? I love this fic, said it before and will say it again, each sin so suits each scoob! I really felt like there was no contest as to who got which sin. I mean, Willow always had pride all over her, Anya was always greed personified. I only had to really think about Sloth and Gluttony. Poor Tara... I love this story - your choice of which sin to ascribe to each character is intriguing. If you'd chosen differently the story would end up completely different. I can't help pondering the many alternatives... I can't wait for them all to get together and for somebody to notice that something is very wrong... and did Tara forget she's allergic to shrimp as we discovered in 'Triangle'? I felt that most of the characters were just sort of begging to have that particular sin attached to them. I mean, who can't see Spike and think Lust? As for the shrimp, well, magic makes you do whacky things... (Ok, Tara didn't forget that minor detail. Someone who shall remain nameless, who only saw Triangle once or twice forgot that minor detail. We'll have her flogged.) (ouch.) magnus374 05/24/2011 08:08 am Unraveling They have a lot of problems but it's amusing to read. Thanks for staying with it. More coming soon... This is great. Funny but then by turns a little disturbing and worrying. Great chapter. rather than chasing after him in that helicopter, calling his name. Good riddance. That scene with Buffy chasing the Helicopter annoyed the hell out of me when I first watched it. It was sorta demeaning to have her chasing after her boyfriend after he had just cheated on her. I've only watched the episode once however so maybe it plays differently than I remember. (I really can't watch Riley-centric episodes, he puts me to sleep.) Thanks so much. That's what I was going for. Buffy Convert 10/02/2011 03:43 pm Nightfall dwiText So, Giles is beginning to suspect something is off? Interesting that he thout all the women were PMSing. Actually, that would be a good explanation if this wasn't the Hellmouth. For a guy, Giles is fairly observant ;-) behind blue eyes 08/27/2011 05:32 am Nightfall Hot chappie! Thanks! ooh everyone is getting worse - and wow thanks for the Buffy/Spike outing! Just the way it would end! You're welcome, Mazza! Glad you're tuned in. Another chapter should be up shortly. magnus374 05/20/2011 08:18 am Nightfall Giles seems to be the most likely to figure this out. He might... but he'll probably have some help. Buffy Convert 10/02/2011 03:07 pm Of Lust Text Ha-ha. I didn't see THAT coming! I've read a lot of stories in which Spike gets laid, but this is a first with a pros! Good one, tho! It would have to be major spell for Spike to need to pay for it. Behind Blue Eyes 08/27/2011 05:12 am Of Lust Great job turning Lust against him! Spike = Lust on a good day. On a better day, Spike would be at my house when Lust took over... This is miserable for Spike. My one point of contention is the 70s were the height of sexual promiscuity IMHO not the 60s. As I recall, the pill had only just begun to spread in the mid-late 60s. The 60s were more idyllic but the 70s was the decade of free love, swinging etc. Ok, I'll give you that. But I guess a talented vampire could probably convince a tripped out flower child to come to bed with him. It would work on me, let me tell you... magnus374 05/17/2011 07:58 am Of Lust A big problem, notjust for Spike but others too. I'm still pondering how they are going to get out of this one. Usually I have the end in mind when I write, but this one is still playing out as I go along. This is really very good. Your story has sort of a British Farce bent to it, as well as lapoooning the characters a little bit and keeping up with the themes of the show as a whole. The religious fanatic at the begining could be a truly frightening villain if inserted into a more thriller/horror type of story, I like him a lot so far. It has also got me thinking that Caleb could have been a phenominal villain if treated differently. (Small digression there.) Cool story so far, Wrathful Buffy was remarkably entertaining. I am so glad you like it. I have to think about Caleb. He was pretty good as far as evil went... Buffy Convert 10/02/2011 02:51 pm Of Pride and Gluttony Text I couldn't leave a review for the last chapter because the words to type disappeared. I did something, but I don't know what. This is agood story; I really like it. But another person's gluttony really isn't exciting I totally had the PMS munchies when I wrote that chapter, I admit. behind blue eyes 08/27/2011 05:04 am Of Pride and Gluttony Poor Tara! Loved the part with the cookies, so cute! I swear I had the PMS munchies when I wrote that chapter. I was drooling the whole time... You are really fleshing out the consequences of these sins rather nicely. Poor Tara, this is so unlike her. When will the weight gain show? However, Willow is just ramped up Willow. Thanks so much! Hopefully the spell will be broken before she has to buy all new clothes... now I've got the munchies - so good work on the description of Tara's affliction, and Willow really can convince herself that what she is doing is all for the good. Thanks Mazza! Thank goodness I wrote most of this chapter on the train, or I might have cleaned out my fridge during the process! Behind Blue Eyes 08/27/2011 04:51 am Of Greed and Envy Love how you're weaved together the previous chapter! Brilliantly done! Thanks ever so! Hana 05/12/2011 01:57 pm Of Greed and Envy This is just so clever. Like it a lot. Thank you! More sins, coming very soon! magnus374 05/12/2011 11:17 am Of Greed and Envy Giles has some things to think about, but it can't be easy to figure it out. Oh, it's gonna take him a while... Behind Blue Eyes 08/27/2011 04:38 am Of Sloth and Anger Great descriptions of Buffy's and Dawn's sins! Thank you! I think all teens are basically sloths waiting to happen... oh yes, Buffy as the incredible angry woman, watch out everyone. Liked the little bit of Xander action, and have got to wonder if Giles and Joyce will get together on this. I think Joyce and Giles will both have roles to play. This one is taking longer to write for some reason, but I'll do my best to update soon. magnus374 05/10/2011 08:01 am Of Sloth and Anger Angry Buffy could be a lot of trouble. Hmm, angry, with superhuman strength. Yeah, probably not going to be pretty... BuffyConvert 10/02/2011 02:53 am Prologue Text Wow. That's a nasty villian we have here - someone no one would suspect. A "normal" crazy. I like that phrase - a 'normal' crazy. Glad you like the start. Behind Blue Eyes 08/27/2011 04:28 am Prologue I loved the movie Se7en! I am not a religious person, but strangely I find the history and meanings behind religion and its practices very interesting. (go figure) I'm already extremely intrigued where you're going to take this! I hope you are not disappointed! I am actually a practicing Catholic (who probably needs to go to confession after all the smut I write around here) so this challenge really grabbed my attention. Loving the premise! Thanks! I thought it was an interesting challenge. what a great start - each sin fits each scooby so well, what can I say hooked already, roll on next chapter. Glad to oblige, Mazza! Hana 05/07/2011 11:16 am Prologue what a clever idea! I look forward to reading more. Thanks! Working! magnus374 05/05/2011 02:55 pm Prologue Interesting, let's see where this will lead. Hopefully, it will lead to Spuffy goodness. Not sure how long it will take to get there though! | |||
