05:35 pm - Fic - What Dreams May Come, Part 2
~


What Dreams May Come

by spikeNdru

Written for [info]seasonal_spuffy, October 28, 2007

Timeline: Post-Chosen

Rating: PG-PG-13

Length: Part 2 – 2883 words

As always, thanks to the marvelous [info]makd for her usual excellent beta.


Summary and Author's Notes: A series of vignettes of Buffy's post-Chosen dreams. Some are on the angsty side, some are hopeful, some are just plain silly—because that's how dreams are. Some are in the first person, some in the third, but all are fairly linear. Restless already did the non-linear metaphor dreams to perfection. Unfortunately, what Buffy's current dreams aren't is porny. I had to drop several planned dreams because in the last few months RL kicked my ass, and the pr0n just refused to make an appearance. Sometimes, that's the way it goes. Sorry.

In addition, for clarity, Buffy's waking life and thoughts are in normal black font. Her actual dreams are in blue font

TITLE: The Life and Times of William, the Not-So-Bloody
Author: spikeNdru
Summary: Historical fic, 1876. What was William's life really like before he became Spike? This is one possible answer.

03:59 pm - Fic - Reclamation
Title: Reclamation
Author: spikeNdru
Fandom: Angel
Pairing: Angel/Doyle, post Not Fade Away
Rating: FR13 - Includes battle violence and M/M kissage. The plot of this story took off in unexpected ways, and the boys seemed to be more interested in making a deep, personal connection rather than in participating in any explicit smut.
Time Frame: Season 5, Immediately following NFA.
Length: 4375 words.
Disclaimer: The sandbox is Joss'; he just lets us play in it.
Many, many thanks to [info]makd for continuing to beta my work, even when she has plenty of her own RL work to do.

Written for [info]maybedarkpink in [info]slashfest, who requested: Angel/Doyle, post NFA.

01:45 pm - Fic - Epiphany
The Spikesquared Moving!On Challenge

Here's how it works:
You pick the character moving on and the character he/she settles with in the end, but the old love/crush is the organizer's choice. Keep in mind that it can be any character from the Angel/Buffy verse, although plausibility/character interaction will be taken into consideration.

Name/LJ Name: spikeNdru/[info]spikendru
Character #1: Spike
Character #2: Illyria
Restrictions (1): What character can you absolutely not write? I can't think of a character off-hand that I absolutely can't write, but I can't do dark/angst.

Your assignment: Lindsey



Epiphany

By spikeNdru

Rating: I’d say R-ish. I'm really bad at judging ratings levels. Maybe older teen?

Thanks to [info]denny_dc for reading and insightful comments, and to [info]makd for more of her wonderful beta work, and for catching that Lindsey McDonald is from Oklahoma, not Texas, as I had somehow thought! (Possibly because Angel called him a “tiny Texan”?)

04:48 pm - Fic - To Unlive and Die in LA, Chapter 7
To Un-Live and Die in LA

By spikeNdru, May 31, 2004

Pairing: Spike/Illyria

Rating: NC-17, with a smidge of slash thrown in. You know the drill. If you’re underage, you shouldn’t be reading this.

Timeline: Post-Power Play

I started writing this immediately following Power Play, and had the story mapped out before Not Fade Away aired, so there are AtS spoilers through Power Play, but it then goes off into its own Altered Reality.

Special thanks to makd, Painbow, and denny for the superb beta work.  You guys rock!

The characters are not mine (sigh). They belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy and 20th Century Fox. I'm just borrowing them.

06:52 pm - Fic - Till Dust Do Us Part
Till Dust Do Us Part

By spikeNdru

Written for [info]venus_blue, as part of [info]bookishwench's Slash Wedding Ficathon.

The happy couple: Spike and Giles

Takes place during the summer and early fall, post-The Gift, BtVS Season 5. In this fic, S6 goes quite differently!

PG, 6814 words

Thanks to [info]denny_dc for reading, commenting and coming up with title suggestions—I was drawing a complete blank! And thanks to my daughter (AKA The English Major) for proofreading and for referring to this story as Till Dust Do Us Part, which became the eventual title.

The characters are not mine (sigh). They belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy and 20th Century Fox. No infringement is intended.

05:07 pm - Fic - Something Borrowed
Divergent Paths Challenge

Something Borrowed


by spikeNdru

Rating: PG-13

Premise:  Written for The Divergent Paths Fanfic Challenge, based on the premise from The Family Man.  The challenge is to write a story based on the idea of a character being thrust into the path not taken, working within the parameters of your fandom's canon.

Assignment:  Spike/Harmony

Summary: Willow's spell from Something Blue pairs Spike with Harmony instead of with Buffy. Harmony has always wanted to fit in and to be appreciated. How would her un-life have been different if Spike believed he cared about her? How would Spike's?

Disclaimer:  All characters are the property of Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy and 20th Century Fox.  I'm just borrowing them.

Author: spikeNdru

Genre: General/Drama/Humor

Disclaimer: All characters belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy and 20th Century Fox. No infringement is intended. I’m just playing with them. If there is a problem with that, contact my attorneys at Wolfram and Hart.
