    Summary

    The woman was born in a world of velvety white.

    Her world was a finite thing. Four walls of padded fabric that was oh so soft under her fingertips, a cold hard floor and a ceiling too high to touch.

    It was silent in her world.

    Summary

    Spike tries to take Buffy out in their ‘is this a date’ episode but instead of lashing out, she just goes to the nearest crate and has a breakdown cuz this is the WORST year of her life. Spike vows to make it better for her as best he can and for once, he kinda delivers. Even when the rest of Sunnydale goes off and makes things way, way worse for them all.

    Takes place during the second half of season 5, with dates to make following along w the actual cannon a little easier. Buffy breaks down because if anyone were in her shoes w the year she’s had, they probably would too. Slayer or not, that shit SUCKED. Joyce is a badass and doesn’t die, a giant cockroach demon tries to abduct the Slayer, Spike plays nurse (not in a sexy way), and there’s a road trip from a hell beast. What more could a story have? A happy ending? Yeah, sure, but who wants to go demon bowling? I know Buffy does.

    TW: gratuitous violence, vomiting, blood, gore, trash, bugs, so many giant bugs I’m so sorry, Joyce gets her groove back, BDSM, dominatrix Buffy, slow burn, Spike in therapy (sorta), I live for Joyce with a weapon, guns, abduction attempt, robot Buffy & Dawn (not sexual), sexual assault via roach demon, paperwork & a road trip

    Summary

    What happens when Buffy turns to Spike to help her understand her nature as a Slayer? What happens when Riley experiences the natural consequences of his visits to the suckhouse?

    Written for the 2022 April Challenge month as a response to SlayrGrl's Vampire Riley challenge. It's essentially a season 5 rewrite, AU elements start pretty much immediately but really ramp up mid-season.

    Banner by the amazing Irandamay and betaed by the equally amazing the_big_bad (so much thanks to you both!)

    Summary

    “I know how we can defeat Glory!” Anya pronounced. Willow and Xander both looked up at her in surprise. Even Giles, over by the register with his tea, looked up in interest. “We run away!”

    Thanks to some research done by Anya, the escape in Spiral is to a different dimension, where hopefully they should be safe from Glory’s all-powerful grasp until the window for the apocalypse passes. But trying to get home will be another matter altogether, in a world where humans are slaves, vampires undergo peculiar transformations, and Cordelia Chase is the messiah. Reuniting with old friends doesn’t guarantee things will get any easier, especially if their enemies also team up to maintain the status quo. What does it mean to be The Key? How many regimes will Buffy overthrow? Is there no place like home?

    Summary

    Originally a standalone fic, the first installment has now spawned a trilogy because I've lost control of my life! Part 1 is a season 4 era slow burn; parts 2 and 3 explore AU versions of s5 and s6, respectively, where spuffy are in an established relationship throughout.

    Parts 2 and 3 are planned/mostly written! Other fics in this universe, including missing scenes, bonus content, and possibly an AU s7 (but don't hold me to it) may be to come.

    Summary

    Here's the deal: Buffy's got no idea how to beat Glory, or how they're gonna book it across the country in a moldy RV without anyone killing each other, especially now that someone broke one of the beds—and the thought of going home again kinda makes her wanna cry.

    The one thing she knows is that Spike would follow her anywhere, even like this.

    Summary

    Buffy is ashamed of him, Spike knows. But when no one else is around, she touches him like she could love him.

    (In which Spike makes a damn good cup of coffee, watches a sunrise or two, and plays confidant to a Slayer who thinks dying to save the world would've been easier than this.)

    Summary

    After the end of it all, ages after, Galadriel is called to Aman where a prisoner dwells in the shadows. A prisoner whose trial is at last approaching. And he will talk to one alone: Galadriel.

    Galadriel must devise three trials to put Sauron through to prove he is worthy of redemption - and failure is not an option. After the first two trials were less than a success, Galadriel has to pull out all the stops for the third and she does not like it, at all. For the third trial will not only test Sauron but her as well. Because for this most crucial one, she will have to live through a time where when Sauron asks her to join him, she tells him yes.

    Summary

    Celebrían is half-Maia. The daughter of Sauron, even. It changes everything.

     

    Gil-galad could picture her as a mother -- fierce and loving, protective and determined. It settled him somewhat to realise it.

    “I will shield her. No one ever needs to know.” She said. He almost believed her.

    “I do not know what a child with her parentage could become.” He said, offering her one last chance to change her mind. She walked to him and took his hand in hers. Despite the years, despite her wars, her hand was smooth and soft and graceful as ever.

    “Exactly.”

    Summary

    Thanks to a deal struck between her and Hop, El may have the chance to spend the summer outside of the cabin with her friends. The deal? El needs to survive until the summer, with no stupid rule-breaking. And in an attempt to keep her entertained until then, she’ll also be getting two babysitters to keep her company in the cabin.

    Nancy is familiar territory, but Steve is someone all but unknown to El. But he’s nice, and very interesting to observe, El can’t help but decide.
