l In order to protect my "secret identity" I will say only that I am a long-time fan of the world created by Joss Wheedon and the characters that inhabit it, and that Season VI freaked me out so much I found myself writing my own versions of episodes to make things happen to suit me. All revolved around Spike and Buffy and their train wreck of a relationship. Did it to make myself happy, then someone posted a couple of them, and first thing you know, I'm a fan fic writer! Somehow, I have expanded to have fics in almost every season and every rating from G through NC17 and now I'm learning to write the other characters. Love Spike as a vampire - soul or no soul; and Buffy as the Slayer.

  

 
Inspired by a meme which I'll try to post, what if Dracula put a curse on Spike while he was in Sunnydale. How would Buffy react to having Spike as a pet?

Written for the "Called" Challenge at EF. An unexpected phone call from Angel to Giles, which is answered by Xander, leads to Angel learning about Buffy and Spike's engagement. With predictable results. Goes off-canon as Buffy determines to protect Spike from his vengeful grandsire, who she has decided is very much a thing of her past. It takes her a while to convince Angel of that fact...

Summary: Follows rewrites of seasons 4, 5, and 6 in which Buffy had been sent back in time post Chosen with the idea that she could do away with Glory (or Ben) before it got to the jumping off the tower point. The idea being that if she didn't die, and wasn't subsequently resurrected, the balance wouldn't be off and the First Evil would not become as powerful a threat as he had in her own time. Spike, meanwhile, once he'd become corporeal, was also sent back with the idea of preventing the same things. Neither knew about or was expecting the other, but once they were angrily facing each other in Season 4, they realized who they were and that they were there for the same reason.
Previous parts: I Would Still Have Loved You (season 4), All About the Mission (season 5), Almost Home (season 6), and now this one which will bring them back to where they came from. Time-wise, that is. What that world is going to be like now remains to be seen.

  Season three – a sequel of sorts to my last Seasonal Spuffy, “P.S. You Suck, Spike” that was an AU between season 2 and 3 in which Spike finds Buffy in LA and determines to bring her out of the depression she’s been in since leaving Sunnydale.  She’s now been home for several months, the PTB have brought Angel back, and it is nearing Christmas. We have a twist on what is already an AU canon that won’t deal with anything else in Season III except Buffy’s Cruciamentum.

The third entry in the I Would Still Have Loved You series. Our time-traveling heroes are now in season six and working out how to deal with the events of that time.


For those who need a play list: OCs are Winston (sent back from the future after Buffy) who is a powerful magician, Max, their mysterious landlord who was Winston's teacher at one time and is a powerful sorcerer in his own right. Joyce is still around, thanks to Winston's abilities to destroy her tumor. Willow is still too full of herself and unpredictable. And Buffy and Spike are mated, the mutual claim having knocked off one Angel had put on an unconscious Buffy in season 3, but never told her about. She was a tad displeased and and they are not on good terms....

My entry for this round of Seasonal Spuffy.   Set in an AU future (perhaps following any one of my future long or short fics where Buffy and Spike are back together and living in the UK – pick one where Spike hasn’t shashued:  Home is Where They Have to Let You In, Old Friends, Everytime You Say Goodbye, or any of the short reunion fics,  etc.) in which our favorite pair are visiting in Los Angeles for some reason that I may or may not make up later. One evening they encounter Detective Decker and her unusual partner in crime solving. Crossover with Lucifer. Could be a road trip fic if you squint hard enough….

Post Chosen/AtS season 5. Buffy and Spike are sent back (separately) to thwart Glory and prevent Buffy's death and resurrection (and subsequent rise of the First Evil). Was supposed to be mostly humorous as they try to pretend to each other that they aren't who they are, but as you'll see, that only worked as long as it took them to get into an argument.... Which changes everything. Especially since they have ended up in fairly early season 4, which means they have to get through a whole year without making any major changes in the world. Tall order when just the fact that they are there has already changed things...

NC17 rating might be a little strong, but you know these two....  No warnings as posted, but it is a wip and I may have to come back and change that as the story develops. It also probably isn't 100% canon, which should be pretty obvious with two very non-canon characters in a time they shouldn't be, but just in case...

Banner challenge criteria:#75 by Solstice
Characters: Season 4 ensemble, Oz
Rating: Any
Season/Episode: Season 4, after Oz has left Willow, before Spike has escaped the Initiative (bit of a timeline juggle, necessary for the plot)
Must have:
1. Oz is captured by the Initiative after breaking things off with Willow. The Scoobies are none the wiser, thinking that he has left town as intended.
2. Inside, the very human-seeming Oz is a cause of uncertainty for many of the soldier boys, and is thus kept in his wolfish state to allay their unease. However, he shifts back into human form when pitted against a familiar snarky vamp - who then refuses to fight him (because he doesn't fancy the headache, not because he's principled). A decidedly ruffled Walsh dumps the pair in a cell together, hoping that one will solve the problem of the other before too long.
3. Instead, Spike and Oz bond (as they always should have done!) and plot the bloody downfall of their captors.
Can have:
1. Spike and Oz bonding over music, wit and pop culture.
2. Spike escaping (with Oz's help) and seeking the help of Buffy and the Scoobies, rather than high-tailing it out of town as they might have expected / or Oz escaping (with Spike's help) and convincing the Scoobies that they need to charge the Initiative and rescue his friend
3. Riley? Friend or foe? I'll leave that up to you.
Can’t have:
1. Oz dying. Nope. Not here.

Set in the world of Hearts Breaking Even and The Last Good-bye, this takes place much later. Buffy has a daughter, daughter has an English teacher Buffy needs to talk to, teacher looks way too much like Spike for comfort, but Buffy agrees to go out to dinner with him anyway. This is only Buffy/Spike if you squint... but don't worry, he's very much there.

AN: This takes place at some unspecified time in the future. Somewhat later than now (2015), but not so far in the future that it’s all that different from our time. If we go by the approximate date in The Last Good-bye, Joyce was probably born in early 2009, which would make this 2025 or so. And the location is pretty vague because I didn’t need a specific location for my original ficlet.  And, if we assume (which we kinda have to) that this ensued from the events in The Last Goodbye, which was sort of a sequel to Hearts Breaking Even set quite a few years after those events, then I may be forced to consider the whole thing another series….even though the first fic began in season one and this one takes place over 20 years later.

Post NFA -  Set very loosely in the LA of After the Fall comics. All you really need to know is that Angel and Spike survived the demon army the Senior Partners threw at them. When that didn’t work, the Sr. Partners encased the city of Los Angeles in a dimensional bubble, which allowed the demons to quickly take over the city. Humans are rapidly becoming an endangered species, although some of those unable to find hidden shelters are being kept as slaves before being killed.  Angel and Spike work to save as many of them as they can. Because the comics at IDW wandered around a bit, I’ve decided not to worry about “canon”, it’s just too complicated. So, I’ve borrowed the setting and mention of a dragon, but that’s it. Don’t look for specific demon lords or events. This is my story set in that world.

To meet a prompt at sb_fag-ends - what if Spike had caught Buffy's eye in that club? (probably intended to be set in The Girl in Question, but I chose to set it in the Bronze season 2)  Not sure where this is going to go, if anywhere, but it could almost be a prequel for the Gentleman.... ficlets. Or, it could be the beginning of its own little Spuffy world...

For those who've not followed this AU Season Five series-- (and why would you? It was never intended to be a series, and the original story was probably written ten years ago, with another big gap to the next one, and then another gap to this one) --- there is no Buffybot because Spike has already had the real thing, and he and Buffy have a budding relationship that is veering betweengood friends and lovers. 
 
The first ficlet – pure pwp – is “How Can Something So Cold Make Me So Hot?” a very short, non-canon story, in which Spike helps Buffy out with a bad sunburn. An eye-opening experience for both of them...
 
Its sequel is When the Ice Has Melted” and it begins the next day in the same now-AU Sunnydale where the events of the first story occurred.
No porn at all in this one, with or without plot, as Buffy and Spike deal with the aftermath of their encounter and what it revealed to them about their relationship and possible feelings for each other. Riley doesn’t take it well, which drives Buffy and Spike even closer together.
 
That closeness has become obvious to everyone, even Xander, by the time this third fic begins a day or so after the end of “When the Ice Has Melted”. We jump from that little scene to some time later when it’s approaching Christmas.

A sequel to "Double Bubble Toil and Trouble..." written for my friend R. who needed some cheering up. Begins a week or  two after the end of Double Bubble. Willow has not yet regained her powers and Spike and Buffy have a semi-platonic relationship in which they are not admitting to anyone what they did while they were MIA together, but Spike has been clear that he would like more. Since the first story had a non-canon twist to the spell Willow did, canon comes and goes in this one as permitted by the changed relationships and events.

My other Seasonal Spuffy entry for this round:
A sequel to a short (6200+) off-canon Season Four fic – Even Demons Need Friends, but I don’t think you need to have read that story (although it’s kinda fun...). All you need to know is that this is a non-canon Season 5 in which Glory is there searching for her Key, Joyce is sick, Spike is unchipped and living in another city. At the end of the previous story, he’d asked Buffy to call him if she needed help.
They don’t have a relationship yet; they weren’t even much more than canon Season Four semi-enemies, with an unrecognized and unacknowledged sexual attraction, when Ethan’s spell to turn Giles into a Fyral demon wrought some important changes in a very short period of time. But not changes sufficient to make it likely that a slayer, with a human boyfriend and a firm belief in what’s right and acceptable, and an old vampire, who has just regained his ability to hunt and feed, are likely to see any kind of a future for them. In spite of some surprising revelations about how they may feel about each other.
You can assume that the rest of Season Four and some of Season Five have proceeded pretty much as in canon, but without Spike’s presence. That absence, and the reason for it, has changed things enough that I think it’s fair to call this an AU Season Five. Some things will be familiar, some things obviously will not, so don’t go looking for an identical timeline or identical events.

ETA Wow - it seems that when this fic was moved over here from the old BSV/HoB that parts of it went missing, I will be reposting it as soon as I've figured out what's missing - I'm hoping I won't lose the reviews, but I'm not sure what's going to happen.

Season Four, what if Buffy had not gotten the Gem of Amara off Spike when they fought? How would the fight have gone, and how might she have gotten away?  What difference might that incident, as well as the Initiative's activities, have made in their relationship? Could/would a vampire and a slayer who hate each other make another truce to join forces against a common enemy? A what might a trip to Las Vegas have to do with anything?

The requested sequel to ZoeGrace's wonderful little "Boy Smell Nice" - begins with the last line from her fic. Not beta'd, so let me know what I screwed up. ETA - Always_jbj has now read it and my screw-ups have been fixed. lol

More ETA: It has been brought to my attention that it's been a long time since Zoe's story was available on the BSV (or anywhere else) and that a quick summary of it might be helpful to readers. So, here's all you need to know about that:
Spike has stumbled across Buffy while she is under the influence of the magic beer that created Cave Buffy.  He becomes distracted from killing her when Cave Buffy decides that he smells good.   During the course of the following activities, he bites her and tries to claim her.  But all in all, it’s a fun evening for them.  We begin with the very last line of Zoe’s story…

season II; written for the Good_Evil community, this fic doesn't really become Spuffy until the sequel. However, Spike and Buffy are definitely the main characters and the gang is all here at one time or another. As are Angelus and Dru. Not for the faint of heart, a darker fic than I normally write with bloodplay, rape and non-consensual sexual contact. The gorgeous banner is by the very generous and talented Spikes Slayer2

Ok, here’s the sitch. It’s early in a Season V that has been tweaked to suit my purposes. Spike hasn’t had his little revelation about his feelings for Buffy, and she, of course, is clueless. Riley has had his surgery and begun his macho identity crisis. Joyce and Dawn won’t be mentioned because they aren’t part of this story. Riley has gone back to Iowa for an extended leave, partly to recover from his surgery and partly to figure out what he wants to do next. He was apprehensive about being gone from Buffy for so long, and not at all reassured when she tells him she will take Spike with her for extra muscle if he’s so worried about her. He reminds her of her words to him before he lost the enhancements that were killing him, when she told him that if she “wanted somebody with super powers, I’d be dating Spike!” She rolls her eyes at his implication and they do not part on the best of terms. Many thanks to Oracle Holly for her read overs and suggestions as I struggled with how to get the story going. *hugs* Holly. And to Always_jbj whose fic gave me the way to get Buffy out of the hole I was digging for her.Disclaimer: Joss never hired me, so obviously all the characters still belong to him. No sense his suing me; he’s got way more money than I do, I’m sure.

In response to Challenge #10 at the Bloodshedverse. Criteria were: Spike and Buffy trapped in amusement park; Spike feeds Buffy cotton candy; they go on either the Tunnel of Love or the Haunted House; they are chased onto the roller coaster by clowns; Buffy is afraid of roller coasters; there are mirrors involved somehow. I believe those are all the “must haves”. This is the first time I’ve done a challenge fic and it’s a little thin on plot, but hey, I wrote it in two days so waddaya want? Since it’s a Bloodshedverse challenge, I also made it a little bitey and a little smutty. Let me know what you think! (TOTALLY non-canon!) 4 chapters in total.
