There Should Be Groveling (sequel to Redemption Redux) by Slaymesoftly [NC-17] Likes: 3 Comments: 4 New!
Summary:  
 
The prequel was written a very long time ago, for a prompt at the LJ community Good/Evil. The prompt was for Good Angel,  so in it, he is less arrogant and cranky about Buffy and Spike than he will be in this sequel. Not much to be done about that, except realize that after all that time with Buffy, he was still pretty sure of himself….
 
In a brief summary of that short story, he has received the Shanshu, Spike has not, and he has left it to Angel to find Buffy. Both of them are sure that Buffy would prefer human Angel to vampire Spike. She has no idea Spike didn’t die in the battle, and Angel prefers to keep it that way. However, after Dawn has insisted several times that Buffy is still mourning Spike, and after Angel has paid more attention and realized that’s true, he confesses that Spike is alive, and gives her a ticket to Cleveland to find out if she still loves him.  This story begins very shortly after the ending of the first one.

Mashing Monsters by Slaymesoftly [PG-13] Likes: 3 Comments: 2
Summary: 100% Spike-centric ficlet, but we all know who he's looking at by the end.  Sort of a non-canon prequel to the Halloween episode in season two, but ending in canon...

Summary:   This fic is an Elysian Fields 2021 Secret Santa gift  Buffy runs into Spike while on her way to end a demon problem at the Sunnydale Mall. To her surprise, he turns out to be very helpful—and, it turns out, just as good a kisser as he’d seemed to be when they’d been bespelled into thinking they were getting married. Which could present some issues for her relationship with Riley….

Summary: Title pretty much says it all. Little glimpses into Buffy and Spike's thoughts each holiday season from season one through seven (and a bit beyond). Not at all fluffy or even lighthearted, TBH, just where they were at that time each year.

Holiday themed comics-based fics (requiring no comics knowledge to speak of) by Slaymesoftly [R] Likes: 5 Comments: 8
Summary: A collection of Christmas and New Year ficlets – all set at some point in the comics world, but going off-canon as soon as Spike and Buffy get together. Set mostly in season 9, but the last one is set in season 10 but before Spike and Buffy get back together in canon. Knowledge of comic events might be helpful, but not really necessary.
 

 
The wonderful image on the collection is by teragramm and I found it on the Seasonal Spuffy 2021 winter solstice. She was kind enough to personalize it for this collection of fics.
 The image on the first New Year's Story is by Johanna Bergia!

Who Needs Five Gold Rings? by Slaymesoftly [R] Likes: 6 Comments: 10
Summary:  An unrepentantly schmoopy Christmas fic that could almost be seen as a sequel to “A Push in the Right Direction”, assuming that fic took place while Spike was busy bidding on the ring.  Either way, there is no AtS season V apocalypse to worry about yet. In fact, that series figures in this only peripherally –it all takes place in Rome.  I’m pretty sure the conclusion won’t come as a surprise to anyone except Dawn and Buffy….

Future short reunion fics by Slaymesoftly [NC-17] Likes: 7 Comments: 10
Summary: At one point after NFA I went into a frenzy of possible reunion scenarios. One of these was written really early on, the others sort of trickled out over time.  Mostly schmoopy (sickly sweet in some cases, if I'm honest) Ratings from PG to strong R or NC17. A little bit of angst here and there, as well as some temporary Bangel.
Bloody Awful Poet - Valentine's Day ficlet, G or PG, warning for bad poetry
Dream Lover - pretty awful in some ways, but again, really early on and I had words to put in Spike's mouth and I like my Dawn, so... PG and warning for unrealistically weepy Buffy
Redemption Redux - written for Good Angel at Good_Evil community.  Skip this one if the idea of Bangel squicks you out. There's nothing graphic, still PG13, but she is with Angel for a while. It's Spuffy by implication. (ETA I'm working on a Spuffy sequel as of Feb. 2023)
Buffyverse 2014 - This was the first reunion fic I did. Some of Buffy's words and actions will be similar to things I had her do in more recently-written reunion fics. I'm just pretty sure it's how she would react in similar situations... This one is a strong R or NC17
Ghosts Don't Smell - two little fill in the blanks scenes from Things That Go Bump in the Night. I think I needed something for a prompt somewhere and decided to add a little something based on one of my own fics. Probably won't make sense if you haven't read Things That Go Bump.
Dear John -A short accidental meeting that results in misunderstandings, tears, anger and eventual reunion. ;)
Added Not Your Mother's Reunion which I just found.

Nights Off Are Overrated by Slaymesoftly [PG] Likes: 2 Comments: 2
Summary: Short, Halloween-based fic. Didn't happen, but it might have. A bit less grim than most season 6 fics. A missing, and probably unlikely (but schmoopy) season six scene that begins just after they return to the house after rescuing Dawn and Janice.

Halloween prompts and the results by Slaymesoftly [PG-13] Likes: 1 Comments: 2
Summary: So, for Halloween 2011 (I think) there were all these amazing prompts at sb_fg_ends – a new one every day – and we all (ok, Brutti_ma_buoni and me) competed to not miss doing every one.  I think I got them all on here and in the right order. The prompts are the titles mostly. All creepy/scary/dead things of one sort or another sent by the big bad whose name is Mortiflex or something like that.... Looks like I never finished the last prompt, but I think we can assume that Spike and Buffy finally took care of old Mortiflex. (I'll look for it, but I don't see anything on that date on the community, so perhaps I didn't do it?)  It seems I was runner-up for that contest with 9 ficlets, loosing to the incredibly prolific and talented brutti_ma_buoni.  These seem to be taking place in a season 5 where Buffy and Spike are already indulging in hanky panky. I remember I had to look up a few of the prompts because I'd never heard of them.

Found Fics by Slaymesoftly [PG-13] Likes: 6 Comments: 2
Summary: Things I found on Live Journal while searching for my missing Halloween stuff. Most of them are pretty old and not necessarily spectacular, but... they are what they are. Many of the very short ones (which will be combined in one "chapter" or post most likely) are responses to various and sundry prompts on Live Journal. I'd forgotten what a wealth of short things were written and posted on there to one community or another and/or in response to a prompt.  Individual summaries as needed in the story notes or the chapter notes. I've settled for "Missing Scene" as the overall category, just because nothing fits a collection and I needed to have something there.

And I Do (still love you) by Slaymesoftly [NC-17] Likes: 1 Comments: 2
Summary: 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 thought 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 in Angel's office, 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 soon figured out 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 remains to be seen....

I Know You II by Slaymesoftly [NC-17] Likes: 10 Comments: 4
Summary:   A sequel to Prologue/I Know You, which took Post Chosen/NFA in a very different direction, almost all of which took place in an alternate Season II; this fic follows the Season II Buffy and Spike into the dimension to which the Powers sent them when they put “our” Spike and Buffy into the Season II world/dimension.  (Confused yet? LOL) There will be appearances by the original Spike and Buffy, as well as Dawn and others, but the primary emphasis will be on the Spike and Buffy who were removed from their own world and their adventures in the one in which they have found themselves.  Naturally, there will be a growing relationship between the two strangers when they find themselves thrown together. Banner by Always_jbj.

To Sleep, Perchance to Dream by Slaymesoftly [NC-17] Likes: 0 Comments: 0
Summary: Summary: In an AU Season Five, Buffy is having what she thinks are very detailed and exhausting slayer dreams. We follow her into that dream world where most of this takes place, only visiting Sunnydale often enough to let others in on what’s going on in Buffy’s dreams.
 
All4Spike has kindly worked around her unfortunate hand issues to take a look at this as I went along, and, of course, make suggestions for improvement. Any mistakes are a result of my chronic tweaking.

Promises Kept by Slaymesoftly [NC-17] Likes: 3 Comments: 4
Summary: The sequel to Her Last Request (which was its title for a long time - poor story), this is just as porny, but has a little bit of plot to go with.  Totally non-canon AU, but Adam is still the big bad and Buffy decides she could use a little help from the vampire who loved her and left her two years ago. Her budding romance with Riley is a non-starter once Spike returns.

Summary: Another post Something Blue fic. This one is not as fluffy or Spuffy as the others. After all, Spike was still evil at the time.... It's mostly in his pov as he plots his revenge.

Summary – I just couldn’t do totally evil Spike for some reason, so this is more like “wants-to-be-evil Spike”. The title refers to Buffy’s budding relationship with Riley.

A Happy Life to Go/ Made For Each Other by Slaymesoftly [G] Likes: 1 Comments: 2
Summary: Buffy has accidentally run into a shanshued Spike, only to find he has amnesia and no recollection of her or his former life. They are attracted to each other immediately (duh!). This ficlet is set six months after they've begun dating. The prompt  for A Happy Life To Go was "coffee shop".
 
The second story, actually the 3rd in the series so far, is Made for Each oOher.
Set in the AU future where Buffy has encountered a shashued, amnesiac Spike (John) many years after the end of NFA, and has fallen in love with the man who has no memory of her or his previous life, this fic takes place after they have decided to head for England and the Council to try to get John's memories back. Giles is a bit edgy about the whole thing, not sure that he believes in the Shanshu or the ultimate harmlessness of the strange man Buffy and Dawn are so sure is Spike reincarnated.

2007 Seven Seasons Community prompts responses by Slaymesoftly [PG-13] Likes: 2 Comments: 0
Summary: My way of meeting the four wonderful challenges put forth in March 2007, by Seven_Seasons .  One is nothing but fluffy Spuffy, one is terribly grim, and two are suitably angsty for what was going on at that time.  Each one is based on an actual episode that has been twisted to meet the challenge requirements – any dialogue that sounds familiar was probably written by those much more talented writers at Mutant Enemy, rather than by me. J
 Here are the challenges as put up on the Seven Seasons community:
 1)     Giles doesn't leave, and he's there when he finds Spike crying against the tree.  How does Giles find out about Buffy and manage to be at the house when all the Scoobies return?  How does he react to seeing Spike in tears at Buffy’s return?
 
2)     What if Spike isn't the only one to hear Buffy say that her friends dragged her out of Heaven?  Who has overheard her and how do they react to the news--as well as the fact that Buffy confided in Spike and not her friends?
 
3)     Riley returns-absent any rebound wife.  How does Buffy react while remembering how desperately she'd run to catch him and stop him from leaving her?  Does she still want him back?
 
4)     Spike knew about the resurrection and tried to stop it, afraid that Buffy would 'come back wrong.'  What is he afraid of?
