The journey of a thousand miles...

She was a legend. And legends didn’t feel. Legends didn’t cry. Legends didn’t lose—only people did.

After The Writing on the Wall and Epilogue.

An angsty Fourth of July ficlet - Spike and ensemble

It's amazing what a typo can do. Sitting at Always_jbj's house writing away, or perhaps thinking about writing while she was chatting to Selene2. A simple slip of a key on Selene's part and a bunny attacked.
Anyway... Spike Tells a story...

Disclaimer: Joss owns everything as always. Characters: Spike (of course), Buffy and Joyce Rated: PG Beta'd by Always_jbj

Takes place between Buffy Season Eight #36 and #37. (spoilers for the comics ahead! Read at your own risk!) How did Buffy end up in Spike's shower, anyway? PG, people. Get your minds out of the gutter. :D

I asked my beta what sort of fic she might like for her birthday. Here's what she asked for...

" So, if you feel inspired, what appeals to me is either Spike or Wes. If you pick Spike and want him to be involved with someone, it should be Buffy; if you pick Wes, I don't have any strong feelings about it. I'm open as to whether it's BtVS or AtS, and when, but some of the things I enjoy are Spike irritating Angel (without too much Angel bashing), Spike and Joyce friendship, Wes running Angel Investigations or his own business, Wes or Giles succeeding where the Council fails, and kittens. It could be part of your current storyline, if you'd like. Mood: funny and/or action. Must have a happy ending."

I can't say I managed to cover all the bases but I had a decent try.

Set after the end of Angels and Demons

Summary: Follows up on gryfndor_godess's wonderful season 9 comic fic “Picture Perfect”. (http://gryfndor-godess.livejournal.com/139191.html#cutid1), which you should probably go read first, if for no other reason than her wonderful Spike pov.  Mine is from Buffy’s pov, and takes place the day after the infamous party...

The final part following Finality, Finding The Answers, and Catharsis. Spike makes it to Africa, and Buffy sees Dr. Thomas.

A/N: I don’t really care for dark, depressing stories. Dark!fic just isn’t my thing. Too damn bad the muse wouldn’t listen, and despite my endless pleading, he demanded this one be written in response to the “Third Slayer” challenge posted for round nine of Fang Fetish Awards. I will warn you up front that this is not a fluffy, happily-ever-after story. And it takes place in an alternate reality wherein Angelus has never had a soul. Spike never came to Sunnydale, never got caught and chipped by the Initiative, and never fell in love with Buffy. He is still evil and soulless with no intentions towards the side of good.

Begins during Afterlife and continues through Once More With Feeling. Buffy is feeling very alone and lonely and realizes the only comfort she really wants is from a certain bleach-blond menace...

Now she has all the time in the world and she hates it.
Special thanks to LisFayte for the help!

And then they’re stumbling away together, two idiots spiraling toward destruction with no one else to cling to but each other. 

The necessary scene in Dead Things, after Buffy departs the police station.

Sequel to Yearly; AU AtS; After Spike's all Solid Boy again, Wesley makes a call to a certain Slayer and her sister. My first completed work in two years! Yay me! Please encourage me by reviewing? Please?

REVISED 7/31/05 Spike’s poetry slam leads him to reminiscing on Buffy, of course. Spoilers for BTVS S7 "Chosen" and ATS S5 "Not Fade Away."

The monks gave Buffy and Spike one night of fake memories. That would have been enough to change their lives. But when you add a glowing key in the form of an unborn baby, well . . . things wouldn’t just change, they would be turned completely upside-down
