BABIES STOLE MY DINGO (agilebrit)
Blooming Cactus
Fandom: Firefly
Rating: PG-13 for language and violence
Length: Short story (about 3200 words)
Disclaimer: Joss is the genius behind these characters; I am but a lowly follower. I make no money from any of this, so please don't sue me.
Feedback: Concrit adored! If you see something that can be improved upon, please let me know.
Written for: Just me. Got tired of seeing all the fics where River comforts Zoe post-Serenity, and wondered what would happen if it was Jayne instead. Not that I'm obsessed with the Bear of Very Little Brain or anything. Really.

Summary: Set post AtS “Orpheus”, just prior to BtVS “Dirty Girls.” Faith and Willow explore the things they have in common.
Pairing: Faith/Willow

DAN JOSLYN
Vodka and Cigarettes
Rating: PG-13
Summary: A lonely slayer meets a nice girl in Prague.
Disclaimer: Guess what? I work for "Watchers", and no non-"Watchers" characters are named here. I dance around some of the specific concepts. That means I'm pretty sure this fic is completely and in all ways legal, though all should still bow down to Joss.
Warnings: Includes two girls kissing. If that offends you, don’t read. May contain light “Watchers” spoilers through S2.
Notes: This story is set in the universe of “Watchers”, a virtual Buffyverse spin-off I write for. It can be found at www.watchers.tv, and will enter its 4th season in September. Those not familiar with the series should have no problem following this, as it’s pretty non-specific about past continuity. Just as some background info, Mia is a Japanese-American lesbian slayer who left the new Watchers Council after Season 2 of “Watchers” because she was uncomfortable with the Black Ops work she was being asked to do. CSR won the auction for a story by me, and requested a story with Mia in Europe. This is the result. He gave permission for it to be posted elsewhere. We are currently accepting matching bids for many of our auction categories, including mine. If you like this story, you can have one of your very own (5-20 pages) for whatever topic you want for only $20. (By the way, I am apparently the cheapest writer on the staff. I like to think of myself as a bargain.)

DANCETOMATO
The Birds and the…Birds
Rating: Adult - Graphic, anatomically correct descriptions of gay sex.
Inspiration: For mooseal's’s 30th birthday, I wrote an Oz/Xander drabble that included an allusion to a very awkward conversation in which Giles explains gay sex to Buffy. This is that truly horrifying encounter.
Pairing: Giles and Buffy gen
Warning: Embarassed watchers and overuse of the word “stimulate”
MANY thanks to winterlive for the rockin’ beta. She made my Buffy voice actually sound like Buffy’s voice.

THE DEADLY HOOK
Dirty Back Road
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: B/S
Summary: Buffy POV, alternately fluffy and angsty, sort of a combination of a road trip fic and bedroom farce, with Buffy and Spike traveling to Bakersfield to visit a demon for Anya. It's set during Season 6, between "Gone" and "Doublemeat Palace."
Disclaimer: This universe not mine. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and characters property of Mutant Enemy, 20th Century Fox, etc. No profit being made here, just the love.

DENNY
When
Rating: (mild) NC-17
Summary: Spike and Buffy are victims of a wayward fairy. Season Five and then some.
Pairing: Spike/Buffy
Author’s Note: It’s Season Five and canon through Fool for Love. It has snark and UST (somewhat), and I tried to avoid fluff, but I’m not certain I succeeded. Pay attention to the next note:
Warning: Character Death

DISTRACTION
Jayne's Magnificent Cock
Rating: PG
Summary: River has a secret. Jayne has a chicken. Hilarity ensues.
Notes: Beta read by Mosca. Disclaimer: Firefly is the intellectual property of Twentieth Century Fox and Mutant Enemy. This original work of fan fiction is Copyright 2004 Distraction. There is no profit being made, so it's protected in the USA by the fair use provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976. Fandom: Firefly

DRAGONWRITER17
Loss
Rating: R
Summary:While a new vampire species menaces the city, a powerful talisman, once thought lost, comes into the possession of the Council, just in time for an unexpected visitor.
Pairings:Willow/Rowena, Willow/Kennedy
Disclaimer: All of the materials borrowed from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel belong to Joss Whedon and to the entities and companies associated with their creation. I have borrowed them for creative and entertainment purposes only. No compensation has been or ever shall be received for the writing below. No copyright infringement is intended. The same is true for what I have borrowed from Watchers.
Spoilers: The BTVS Season 7 finale; The end of Watchers Season 3 (as far as I knew at the point that I outlined the story, anyway, which was about 2/3 of the way through the season).
Author’s Notes: I once told CSR that I’d try my hand at Kenlow story, and this is what I came up with. When BTVS Season 7 aired, I did not warm to the Willow/Kennedy relationship at all. I still mourned Tara and felt that the Willow/Kennedy thing was way too rushed. And Kennedy kind of annoyed me (she was a self-admitted brat, after all). Watchers, however, has taught me to appreciate Kennedy so much more. I think that’s why I’m able to write this now. By the way, I will be writing this in Watchers style, not in fiction style or in full screenwriting format (although I may cheat a little on the “no thoughts” rule.) Also, I started this story in the middle of Season 3 Watchers without knowing exactly how the season was going to end, so there may be some differences in actual Season 3 canon and what I do here. For example, I started this story with the assumption that Willow and Rowena would be getting back together by the end of Season 3. I don’t know for sure if that’s going to happen or not, but that’s the idea I’m working under here. I’m also working under the idea that Dawn will be reinstated to the Coven, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen either. I’m also proceeding under the assumption that neither Kennedy nor Rowena has said anything to Willow about the kiss that took place in “Skin Deep.” Thanks to Isis for the cool banner! (Additional note: As of 5-30-06, Willow and Rowena are indeed back together, and Dawn is more than likely going to be reinstated to the Coven, but unfortunately for me, the bar kiss between Rowena and Kennedy got revealed in “Shomer,” so that aspect of my fan fic is off-kilter from Season 3. Oh well. I guess I should have waited till the summer to write this one.)

ELIZABETH SCRIPTURIENT
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
Rating: R/NC-17
Summary/Teaser: Roofs and steeples and the cellar door. "I have known them all already." He never rescued her, but she found him anyway. "We who were living are now dying." There is no happy ending. "Thinking of the key, each confirms a prison."

Warnings: AU. Dark and fucked up. Explicit sex. Pleasurepain. Ambiguous consent. Abuse of allusions/quotations from the Bible and T. S. Eliot.

The Long and Winding Road, outside link
Rating: up to NC-17.
Pairing: Spike/Tara
Summary: Spike time-travels on a mission of mercy to rescue Tara, courtesy of Willow.
Notes: Post BtVS and AtS. This fic's not big with the 'splainy about how Spike got out of the pickle he and Angel's gang were in at the AtS series finale. You just know it was damn heroic, though. Big thanks to my betas Calove, Lillianmorgan, Married_n_mich, and especially to MyFeetShowIt for help brainstorming ideas. Warning: character death.

JUST HUMAN

Rating: NC-17
Summary: S7 Buffy - What if Giles had gone to the monestary with Spike instead of Andrew?
POairing: Giles/Spike, mentions of previous relationships
Disclaimer:If I owned any of this, they would be filming it. All belongs to Joss.
Authors Notes: Written for Byrne during a Giles challenge. Thanks to Wesleysgirl and Violetsmiles for last minute betas. Any errors remain my fault.

KALIMA
Daemons Luminati
Rating: R
Summary: Can a vampire be dragged, kicking and screaming into the light? We’ll see. Spike’s a complicated guy, isn’t he?
Pairing: Spike and the Girls of the Hellmouth mostly, though this is not a sexy story if that’s what you’re seeking. And Xander’s in here too.
Disclaimer: Spike, Buffy, et al belong to Mutant Enemy and Joss and all those people with a legal posse who could come after me and sue my ass if they wanted. Still… Blood. Turnip.
Thanks to: Herself, the most, in bunches. Liz who’s unapologetic lust for Spike first made me want to march in Spike-pride parades – we’re here, we love evil soulless things, get used to it!
Spoilers: Season 6 through, oh, I don’t know, let’s say after she wore the lilac blouse of breaking up and before she wore the gray robe of victimization.
Dedication: This is dedicated to the yellow balloon. All creatures that can love and grieve have souls.
Written: Completed just before my birthday in July 2002.

KARABAIR
Rumble, Young Man
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Description: Wesley and Gunn take in a movie, engage in horseplay, fall asleep on Gunn's couch, and wonder why no one can accept that they're just friends.  Set season 3 between "Birthday" and "Waiting in the Wings"
Disclaimers: Wes & Gunn are not mine
Written for: HappyWes ficathon. Blueswan9 requested Wes & Gunn, ‘ship or friendship, with some slapstick comedy. This is, well, friendship, possible pre-slashiness, and basically fits in canon. Thanks to: I begged everybody and their dog to read this fic. Crazydiamondsue gave a lovely beta to an early version, and inlovewithnight, _morganlefae_, callmesandy, and smashsc all weighed in with helpful comments. Also, Muhammad Ali, Will Smith, and Michael Mann provided various sources of inspiration, and Wes’s discourse on the history of boxing is lifted almost word for word from wikipedia. My info on boxing weight classes comes from Guyville, which is not what it sounds like, but is a site I can imagine Wes (or Xander or for that matter Joss) visiting. It's sort of for guys who feel like they missed the memo on stuff guys are supposed to know.

KATS_MEOW
The Spirits That Move Me
Rating: R
Summary: Written for Buffyx’s 2005 Spuffy Kinkathon, requested by st_salieri who wanted “some yummy biting action, early S7, when Spike's in the school basement; Spike in gameface the entire time.”
Pairing: Spike/Buffy
Disclaimer: The usual disclaimers about not being Joss, writing for entertainment value only and “don’t sue me” apply.
Warning: Look out for the bitey!
Notes: This is one of the few Spuffy fics that I’ve written. It is also the story I’m most proud of (that’s completed!)

KCAROLJ65
A Sort of Homecoming
Rating: R for language and...
Pairing: Spike/Buffy
Summary: A slightly different take on "Lies My Parents Told Me". Spike's ordeal in Wood's garage sends him on an emotional rollercoaster, and Buffy comes along for the ride.
Disclaimer: I own nothing of Buffy and receive no profit from this story. All belong to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy.
Notes: Originally written for Seasonal Spuffy, Autumn 2005. Story and section titles taken from U2’s “A Sort of Homecoming.”

KellyHK
Insomnia: Quiet Cuppa
Rating: Tame I tell you, tame
Spoilers: None, but this is my little AU take on what should have gone down in late season seven if the Giles we knew and love wasn't replaced with that Pod!Giles we actually got. Never happened, of course, but if wishes were horses...
Disclaimer: Not mine, don't sue. Playing in Whedon's sandbox and will put the toys back when I'm done. No pocket change or anything else made from this venture.

LIZBETH MARCS
Cuckoo in the Nest
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Tony Harris always knew there was something off about the kid. From the day he was born, he and Jessica never had anything but bad luck.
Warning: Language. Racism/sexism. Depiction of alcoholism. Spoilers for all of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

LORI BUSH
Nine-Tenths of the Law
Rating: PG (probably being overcautious, although things could change)
Summary: Xander becomes a psychic gateway for the spirits of the dead who have unfinished business on earth.
Disclaimer: Buffy, Xander and the gang belong to Joss Whedon and his cohorts. I’m trying real hard to stake a claim on a small piece of Xander, however. Please don’t sue – my kids need to eat, and food money is about all I have.
Pairing: B/X, and potential W/X, too, but very light. This is more a Xander story than a Xander and anybody story. It’s my first – give me a chance.
Author's Notes: This idea wouldn’t leave me alone. I’m still giving it all I got, but other intriguing ideas keep getting in the way. I refuse to let this one go, but it *is* coming rather slowly, now. Sorry.

LOSTAKASHA
Washer at the Ford
Rating: R
Author's Notes: This ficlet takes place during the ATS Season 5 episode, You’re Welcome. It’s been done many times, but I wanted to try my hand at filling in the gap from the night Cordy tells Angel “There are no people like us,” to that next morning. What happened? What else did they say, or not? And what did they do? Here’s my take on it all.
For those who might be unfamiliar with the Celtic myths of the Morrigan, goddess of death – one of her guises is “the washer at the ford.” As some legends have it, the Morrigan would appear to generals on the battlefield as a washerwoman, laundering the clothes of the next soldiers about to die in battle.
Disclaimer: No profit or infringement is intended or sought.

LUCIA aka femmenerd
The Utopian Superhero Threesome ‘Verse
Rating: NC17 overall (for sexual situations)
Summary: Post-NFA Spike, Buffy, Angel—love, lust, history and all the fixin’s. A series of related vignettes (and yes there most likely will be more). The first three are Buffy, Spike, and Angel POV respectively. The last portion was part of the “369 challenge” in which one writes three related but independent “drabbles” of 69 words each.
Pairings: Spike/Buffy/Angel, Spike/Buffy, Spike/Angel, Buffy/Angel
Disclaimer: All belongs to Joss and ME et al, except for this bittersweet OT3 wish-fulfillment, which is mine. I do not make money from the ways that I twist and tangle these bodies and emotions.
Acknowledgements: To Amy B. for beta duties and to Kita for cyber hand-holding.

Pairing: Giles/Ethan
Disclaimer: Characters belong to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy, used without permission.

MISS MURCHISON
Quick and Bitter, Slow and Sweet, outside link
Rating: R
Summary: This starts sometime after "Normal Again" and partway through "Entropy," but the timeline is scrambled as the story starts to go AU. Tara has been interrupted on her way to see Willow. And she is in time to interrupt someone else, who is on his way to perform a different errand.
Pairing: Spike/Tara
Disclaimer: All characters are the property of Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, etc. Only the lame plots and dialogue herein are mine.
Warnings: A bit of blood play
Notes: Someone asked me for Spike/Tara. At first I couldn't see my way to writing it, then I sent her a brief fic that I never intended to post about Tara and unsouled, vamp Spike as an established couple. But my imagination kept worrying at the problem of how those two got together--and another friend who read the story wanted to know as well. Here's a Spike/Tara romance, in which they are assisted by an unlikely, sneaky, and frequently whiny Cupid.
Also, I was having a problem with Spike's POV, so although this is set in late Season 6 BtVS, I used a thought that struck me while watching Season 5 of AtS. It seemed to me that Spike was suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder and that for some strange reason, none of the other characters noticed. I don't know if anyone else has written MPD Spike, but here goes . . and trust me, it's not as goofy as it sounds!

MOMMANERD
Who's Been Shaggin' in My Bed?
Rating: PG13
Summary: This story is a response to a "Storyteller Challenge". It had to feature Andrew and be in the flavor of that BtVS Season 7 episode. Spike discovers that his cot has been used for some extracurricular activity while he was out, and Andrew is nearby to document the scene.
Pairing: B/S - if only in Andrew's lens
Disclaimer: I didn't make any of these characters up, but I really like playing with them.
Warnings: Full throttle Geek Alert
Notes: Thanks to Rashaka for coming up with the challenge, and thanks to all the fan support of this story ever since.

NWHEPCAT
The Song about a Ramblin' Man
Rating: R

Summary: Conservatory: If music be the food of life, play on. Carrot & Stick: Rodney can't escape his past.
Notes: Two stories, connected, written for Live Journal's sga_flashfic community. Challenges: Exploration/Rooms of Atlantis, and Dangling.

This is the longest single piece I've written and finished, and it's the only non-PWP. Please feed me back? Disclaimer: Not mine, don’t sue Warnings: Non-graphic noncon and torture.

Spike and Illyria all survived the big battle, but they went their separate ways afterwards. Buffy hasn’t seen Angel since he dropped off the amulet, but they do chat on the phone once in awhile. Angel’s too busy being on the run from Wolfram and Hart to actually stop by and see her.
Author's Notes: I own nothing. I just play. Exact quotes from BtVS and AtS courtesy of Buffyworld.com and yep, took creative liberty with those. Oh, and I’ve taken creative liberty with the Hilton in Phoenix, too!

Foray
Rating: PG
Notes as of Oct 2000: The family relationships you find in this story are NOT like the ones portrayed on the series. I didn’t come into it until mid-way through the second season. So, you’ll see some differences in how Willow and Xander interact with their parents. I’ve made some changes regarding time zones, as I wasn’t aware how many hours separated the U.K. from America, I used a 12 hour time difference. I now know its only 8 hours so I’ve gone back and adjusted the story to reflect the change, hopefully it has not affected the story in an adverse fashion.
Special Thanks:To my beta reader, Tracy. Well Trace, here I go. Wish me luck and thank you. I couldn't have done it without your help and input for the past 6 months.

ALLEY NYC
Road to Nowhere
Rating:NC17 (graphic violence)
Summary: When things heat up between two rival crime families, the lives of Angel Tully, a mobster, and Buffy Summers, a burgeoning artist, crash into each other. Here's what happens.
Notes: The elevator artwork was an installation (in the late 1990s) at The Kitchen, a performance space here in New York City. Despite much research and numerous telephone calls to the Kitchen, no one can tell me whose work it was. Apologies to the artist; no disrespect or infringement intended.

No infringement is intended through the use of any of the Buffy or Angel characters.

That said, anything in this story about them is fabricated. (If you are interested in learning more about the Irish mob in New York City, Hell's Kitchen specifically, check out "The Westies" by TJ English. Excellent book.) Any additional characters, for what they're worth, belong to me. SPOILERS: None. This is an AU story.

Summary: "You could always leave Tara unattended, without much worry about her catching anything on fire - except tonight."
Notes: Beta thanks to the illustrious Herself, who provided bitchin', accurate suggestions, and Lovesbitca, who did the same with a much-appreciated side of cheerleading.
Spoilers:Late S6/Early S7 Alternate Universe Info: This happens after "Graves", but assumes that Tara didn't die from her bullet wound -- Willow mistakenly thought she did, and went on her rampage anyway. Spike did try to rape Buffy, but didn't go to get his soul. So basically, it's a few months after The Time Things Got Way Fucked Up. Disclaimer: He is Joss Whedon, millionaire. He owns a mansion and a yacht

BARB CUMMINGS
Necessary Evils
Rating: PG-13 for language until Chapter 11, when it abruptly becomes R, and slowly degenerates to NC-17 thereafter. I think. Sex is had and Anglo-Saxon words are used, OK?
Pairing: B/S
Summary: Buffy's attempts to re-adjust to life subsequent to her resurrection are difficult enough in the face of the return of Glory's crazies, her growing attraction to Spike, and dealing with Social Services. But when gods begin stirring in Sunnydale and Willow is tempted into alliance with an ancient evil to regain her lost magical powers, things get really complicated....
Author's notes: A sequel to "A Raising In the Sun." However, all you need to know is that Willow brought Buffy back to life using Dawn's blood and William's soul. I started writing this in September 2001, when "Amends" was the only canonical source of information on the First Evil, and finished it in May of 2003. Naturally I got Jossed a number of times in the course of writing. Some of these inconsistencies I revised to accord with the show's canon. Others I decided to leave as is, specifically the First Evil's appearances as living people, and the fact that some of the Harbingers in this story are cabable of speech. Many, many thanks to all the folks at the Redemptionista Writers Group for beta reading.
Notes: Spoilers: Up to The Gift, some minor background stuff from S6 and 7. Warnings: Don't believe in 'em. Bad stuff happens. Also good stuff. Read at your own risk. Disclaimer: The usual. All belongs to Joss and Mutant Enemy, and naught to me.

Summary:Rewrite of Lover's Walk except Buffy and Spike wind up leaving her house alone, without Angel. What will happen when Spike locks them in the basement of the Magic Box together with less than honorable intentions?
Notes: I am changing a few things, obviously. Angel didn't go with Spike and Buffy to the Magic Box, and Xander and Willow aren't going to get busted by Cordelia and Oz. The vampire attack at the Magic Box happens differently in my story, also. Disclaimer: I do not own Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I only play around with the characters. Distrubtion: Sure! just let me know where it's going!

CALLA
Big, Scary Apocalypse
Rating:PG Some bad language and mild sexual references.
Summary: It's Buffy’s birthday and a few old faces are in town to give her a unique surprise...including Angel. Answer to Juliette’s challenge.
Notes: Spoilers: Replaces 'Older and Far Away' and 'Waiting In The Wings', then goes its own way from there. Two things are different: Connor doesn’t exist and A/C was never even hinted at. In case you miss where it’s mentioned in the story, Buffy is no longer involved with Spike. Warnings: My stories are not guaranteed 'happily ever after' events. They're usually angsty in places and sometimes involve character deaths. I've been known to pair Buffy and Angel with other people (for plot purposes) and I regularly toy with the other characters' pairings - just for fun. If you require specific warnings about that kind of thing, please feel free to ask. I *do* promise that I am a staunch B/A shipper. All my stories are B/A centric. All my stories present the couple in a sympathetic and respectful light.

CARO
Secrets and Lies
Summary: It’s a full-length novel of 80,000 words in 26 chapters and was originally posted a chapter at a time between the airing of “Storyteller” and “Lies My Parents Told Me.” It’s an alternate BtVS S7/AtS S4 taking off after “The Killer in Me” and “Calvary,” Buffy takes a step forward in her relationship with Spike, only to learn that Angelus has returned. Why this one instead of Seven Years in the Desert or The Magic Box Stories? Well, this one’s finished, for one thing. Seriously, this one allows me to show romance, humor, drama, action and working with a large cast of very diverse characters so it’s probably in that way the most representative of my work.

Pairings: Spike/Buffy; Spike/Fred; Spike & Angel
Summary: A vampire's soul is the path to redemption or perhaps the bringer of apocalypses…something new and very old force Angel and Spike into a battle to save the world (again) and the women they both love.

Pairings: Tara/Willow
Summary: After temporarily escaping the abusive conditions of her father’s home, seventeen-year-old Tara Maclay finds herself back in his care when her mother dies. How will she find a way out of this living hell?
Notes: (1) This is a speculative background story. It does make some changes to the known BtVS canon. (2) It was actually written as background for an in-progress story of mine called "The Power of Three," which is available at Mystic Muse and Near Her Always. But after I got about halfway into it, I decided that it would make a good story on its own.

Summary: Angel has a dream, prompting him to return to Sunnydale, but is he too late?
Notes: This story took me a long time to write. I got feedback from my little support group I have, they know who they are, and they asked me to include things, hence the length. Some parts are better than others, of this I am aware. I appreciate feedback, I thrive on it actually.

The characters belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, etc. The songs belong to Sarah McLachlan and Will Jennings.

She runs the Tangled in Destiny website, the poem Set it Free, does not belong to me, I got it off a collage someone sent to a list I subscribe to.

IRFIKOS

Rating: R for violence, naughty language, and one brief instance of sexual assault.
Pairing: One might call this Spuffy Angst.
Notes: Bad things happen to Spike. And he's not all shirtless and pretty when they happen. Okay, he's shirtless once, later on, but not so much pretty. Also, if blood bothers you, you probably shouldn't be reading about vampires in the first place. This story contains character death. Disclaimer: No vampires were actually harmed in the creation of this fic. And alas, these characters actually belong to people (like Joss) and companies (like Mutant Enemy) with way more money than I could ever hope to see and are played by actors far prettier than I could hope to be. Irfikos Thanks: Nan: Thanks for all your help betaing that last bit for me. You are so incredibly swell! Inobunny (aka roomie): Thanks for stopping laughing at me once you actually read it. And the helpful semi-betas. Popecorky XXIII: The Evil Genius who replied unblinkingly to questions like, "So, if I were planning to stab somebody in the heart from behind, which ribs would I be stabbing between? Um – just curious." And who would probably do such a job for me if I were only to ask. Spikealicious: Thank you for answering my call for the Latin help! And Brigid (who won't tell me her pen name or what fics she's written): Who helped roomie & me come out of the Buffy closet and for warning me, "Don't ever start writing fanfic. Because once you start, you won't be able to stop." I think you were right.

Pairings: B/OC. Hints of W/X. References to B/A, B/S, X/An, W/T. Hints of B/W/X, but nothing to hang your hat on and nothing you can prove, so there.
Summary: Buffy begins the task of starting her life over and rebuilding the Watchers Council without her two best friends at her side. (AU) Notes: Character death(s).

MARGOT LE FAYE
...on the Highway of...
Rating: NC17
Pairings: B/S, B/X/S, and B/A.
Summary: Spike finds a despairing Buffy in LA, after she sent Angel to hell.
Note: Chris asked us to pick our favorite fic to send to her, but I could no more pick out a favorite fic than a mother can pick out a favorite child. Not that I’m at all blind to this "child’s" faults. Highway was my second-ever fanfic. There are plenty of typos, and an unfortunate tendency to say "lead" when I meant "led." While it is a sequel to my first fanfic, All Too Human, you don’t need to have read that one first. The important plot points from the earlier work are recounted within the story. I picked Highway because I think it has something for a variety of tastes. You’ll decide if I’m right. Spoilers: Only through the second season of BtVS.

MARY
Lost in You
Rating: NC17
Pairing: B/S - Did you need to ask?
Summary: This is just a little PWP erotica that I posted after the depressing episode known as ‘Doublemeat Palace’ in an effort to cheer up the B/S faithful. When I released it, I mentioned that it may someday find itself plopped down in the middle of a longer fic. In a slightly altered form, it has. The longer story is called ‘Journeys’, which at this time (6/2004) is a temporarily stalled WIP.
Notes: This is the first thing I’ve written in over 25 years. And it’s the first time I’ve ever even considered sharing a piece with others. So, be gentle with me… Disclaimer: Not mine. But I dream about it occasionally. Date of Publication: January 30, 2002

Summary: Joyce has things to do, places to go, people to see.
Notes: implied heterosexual interaction and discussion of terminal illness. Spoilers: Through the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Five season finale "The Gift."

Disclaimer: Joss owns the Buffyverse; I just imagine in it.

Summary: This story takes place during the season 5 timeline. It is more toward the beginning/middle of the season. It combines classic Buffy episodic style with some good ole fashioned porn.

Pairing: Giles/Oz
Summary: This is a series of ten drabbles that give us snippets of Giles and Oz and their relationship. Each drabble is inspired by a different book from my personal collection.
Notes: Many thanks as always to Silvertedy for the amazing edit. Her feedback is incredible and her copyediting is always astounding (and makes me embarrassed to be employed by the same publisher). This was written for the Giles/Oz ficathon on Year of Oz. It's for vamplover84 who requested clove cigarettes and sex (and didn’t want bondage -- the temptation there was very strong, but I stuck to the rules).

MORRIGAN/COLTPIXY
Underneath It All
Rating: Hard R/NC17
Summary: Buffy finally faces Xander's feelings for her.
Notes: This fic started it's life because of an idea I gave someone else, after mulling it over I realized that I wanted to write this story, not someone else. So I did. I hope you enjoy it. Any and all mistakes are all mine as this one is unbetaed. As with most of my fics, this one is for Kym, thank you for being the best friend I've ever had. Spoilers: None, this is my world; Xander and Buffy are just along for the ride. Disclaimers: I'm just borrowing someone else's characters for a little bit. (Joss (is GOD)) They are so wonderful I just had to play with them a bit. I am using them without permission. I am just a simple, harmless (i.e. broke) fan. In no way shape or form am I affiliated with FOX, the WB, Mutant Enemy Inc.

Summary: It was the same every morning, but it was always exactly what she wanted.
Notes: Thanks to k and Katisha, the awesome beta women, and to The Distraction for smoothing out the sharp corners.
I consider this a crossover with the Barnes novel because it's set in almost exactly the universe he created in "The Dream," which is the last of his 10 1/2 chapters, and I felt the need to credit that source as fully as possible. Knowledge of the book is optional, although I hope you'll be inspired to read it if you haven't yet. The title is from "And She Was," by the Talking Heads. This was written for Femslash '04, for fabu. I hope she enjoys it.

Summary: Part 3 of the Major Arcana series. Angel is sent to Hell (Becoming: II) What happened to him then...?
Notes: I was watching 'Amends' recently and wondered why it was that the phantoms of Angelus' victims were so terrifying to Angel. Surely he'd thought about them before? It got me wondering... Define Hell. Please note for those who have not read the previous parts, the thoughts of Angelus run side-by-side with Angel and are shown with […] Acknowledgements: Lar for late-night feedback and handholding Disclaimer: Angel and Angelus belong to Joss Whedon, David Greenwalt etc. Wish I was half as lucky.

RABID/RAEANN
Beg to Differ
Rating: NC17
Pairing: Spike/Buffy/Angel
Summary: This is a sequel to my ficlet Cliffhanger. It is PWP. The title is based on the whole S/B or B/A argument. Like there is no alternative but Buffy choosing either Spike or Angel...except her choosing Xander. I wrote this as a present for my buddy Mary who shares this site and set me a challenge: She wanted Post-Chosen S/B/A without Angel dominance, or Spike wimpiness or Buffy being turned into a vampire or anyone being vile. Since I believe Angel is a closeted gay man and I can't imagine him having sex with Buffy at all…this really WAS a challenge for me. But for the record...the love spoken of here is REAL, in my mind.
