FIC ARCHIVE: WORK-IN-PROGRESS STICKY POST
Hi there! I'm Magz. If you're old enough to have witnessed Spuffy Archives while it was still a thing, you might remember me from some all-human "fantasy" Spike/Buffy stories -- my first real forays into fanfiction. If you came along to the wild world of fanfiction later, you might know me from things like J² RPS and Glee Kurt/Karofsky stories.
At any rate, I've decided to make all of my fanfiction available for the reading again. [Yes, all of it. Yes, even the infamous "Hard Time."] I figured hey, I get kinda bummed when I go back to read stories and they've disappeared from the internet, and I hate to bum people out, myself. So whatever I've been able to find I'm slowly posting here, with guesstimates about their original post dates. You can find everything I've been able to put up so far in my freakishly organized LJ Tags List.
To that end, if you have any of the following of my early BtVS fics, please message me! They've disappeared from my hard drive [and apparently the internet], which makes it hard to post them here. The list of stories I'm missing, with titles and summaries miraculously saved by the Wayback Machine, are:
THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL - Spike/Buffy all-human AU. Since they first met when one of them was dangling upside down from a jungle gym, Buffy and Spike have always been fiercely protective of one another. They've grown up together and helped each other through nearly every experience, whether it be one of love, loss, happiness, or despair. But when one of them goes over the deep end, not even the love of a best friend will keep them from tumbling further and further into darkness.
I HATE YOU, BE MINE - Spike/Buffy all-human AU. When Cornelius William Giles gets kicked out of his English school for fighting, his father, Rupert, moves him and his fraternal twin brother, Liam Angelus, across the pond to a one-Starbucks town in southern California. The twins react very differently to their new environment, as well as to our heroine, Buffy Summers. But after a tragic accident, the relationships between the Giles boys and Buffy begin to unravel and re-form as something quite different, and unexpected. FOUND! Sorta. There were 7 chapters available in the Spuffy Archives Wayback Machine archive. Not actually sure if I wrote more than that, to be honest...
IMAGERY - Spike takes a shower. No specified 'ship. For Lissa, who demanded more Naked!Spike now.
[INSERT TITLE HERE] - Spike/Buffy Season 6 AU. In order to stop a new breed of soul-sucking demon, Spike and Buffy must get married. Weird, huh? Well, it seems that the demons are very attracted to the emotions that flood a bride and groom during and immediately after the ceremony. Tons of Spuffy goodness ensues. FOUND! Thanks to
ladypeyton, who had a PDF of it.
JUST LIKE RIDING A BIKER - Faith/Biker, Season 3. Oh, like none of you wanted to pick up that quote and run with it. Yeah, right. Here's my version of what happened when Faithie-dear schtubbed the biker. It's a pre-Faith, Hope, and Trick piece, so beware the underage sex aspect.
LOVE FROM AFAR - Spike/Buffy Season 7 AU. This is how, in a perfectly perfect world, season 7 would've gone. It's rather AU from the end of Seeing Red on, because Spike seems to have a pulse. Also, remember how Faith is in jail? Not anymore... FOUND! Thanks toladypeyton!
MISSING YOU - Spike/Buffy Season 6 AU. Spike-turns-human story. First imagine that Spike left at the end of Becoming II, with no intention of ever returning to Sunnydale. Then imagine that he didn't… until an unexpected twist of fate drew him back to the Hellmouth during the middle of Season 6.
OH, BABY! - Sequel to "Pretty Buffy". Yeah, I know a lot of people are sick-to-death of baby stories, but back when I was writing at FanFiction.Net, all my reviewers wanted a sequel for some reason. But anyway. This is basically little snippets from each month of Buffy's pregnancy. FOUND! Thanks toladypeyton!
SHE - Spike/Buffy Season 6. Spike POV. Buffy and Spike's relationship has become more and more abusive, and one of them has to end it. The other ends up broken, drawn as if by an invisible magnet back to their other half. FOUND! Thanks toladypeyton!
SPIKE ON TOP - Spike/Various Season 7. A Spuffy Awards challenge response. Spike's got four hours to save the world. The catch - and yeah, I know, there's always a catch - is that to avert the rapidly approaching apocalypse, he has to sleep with five people. Two Slayers, a master vampire, a 'ho biscuit', and a guestage grudgingly volunteer. Graphic slash warning, so if that's not your bag, skip those chapters. This is season 7, post Dirty Girls, with the premise that Xander never lost his eye because his eyes are pretty.
TO FIND YOU - Spike/Buffy All-Human AU. Between the ages of six and sixteen, the orphaned William Foster was severely physically abused by his older brother, Angel. After a beating in which he was nearly killed, William took refuge in a foster home. He was adopted and he and his new family moved to England to escape the dark threat of more abuse. Now, ten years later, William has returned to his childhood home. Stronger, wiser, and using the nickname "Spike", he's got only one goal in mind - to save the girl he left behind.
THE WARMTH - Spike/Buffy AU. Remember that whole scene at the end of the Season 3 episode Lovers' Walk? Pretend that never happened, and Spike's been hanging out in Sunnydale ever since. During a routine patrol and threatening-Willie session, Buffy discovers Spike sitting in the Alibi Room. They're both emotionally vulnerable, and once again wonder why it's impossible for them to kill one another...
