Jackboots and Bubblegum

Characters: Spike

Rating: PG-13

Summary: She’s given him a clean slate, forgiven him more than he ought to be forgiven. So why can’t he do the same?

A/N: Blast from the past and in more ways than one. Fifth in my series of unseen moments just before the fall of Sunnydale. Takes place between Touched and End of Days. Previous stories in the series are here, but it's not necessary to read the entire series. Inspired by the opening hymn used during early Vespers services, Psalm 140.

Characters: Andrew, Spike, Faith

Rating: PG-13

Summary: He knows that voice. The evil Slayer, as dark as her sister Slayer is bright; and of all the cemeteries in the world she’s in his.

A/N: Based heavily (which is to say entirely) on Buffy Season 8 comics canon and a tish bit on Angel: After the Fall. Set in a possible/AU future where Faith and Giles are now actively working against Buffy and the Scoobies with the help of a now-released from Hell-A Spike. Andrew is an official Watcher with many Slayers under his command. I won't say there are spoilers here, but if you have not read the comics, you may (like my fabulous beta, noandwhere) be a tish bit confused.

Revenge of the Author's Note: This entire story was inspired by a comment I made over fanficrants based on a horrible "Who gets the girl, Spike or Angel?" summary, only the original had less punctuation and worse spelling. I said that the horrible cliched plot summary made me want to write a story where Andrew gets the girl. So after much encouragement, I did.

Characters: Spike, The Borg Queen

Rating: R

Summary: “Right,” Spike replied skeptically. “And all this order comes from what, exactly? This collection of bits and bobs?”

A/N: Written for the fangfetish Unique Universes and Fandoms Challenge. This takes place in the temporary alternate universe created during "Star Trek: First Contact" when the Borg traveled back in time to assimilate the human race. All sources are cited in Part 1 which can be found HERE.

EDIT: Some dialogue taken from the movie "Star Trek: First Contact". *facepalm*. Also, since some people were unclear on the plotline, I've done a bit of revising, so we'll stamp this one: REVISED..


( Temporal Mechanics Is Not My Specialty... )

Characters: Spike, Angel, Gunn, Illyria

Rating: PG

A/N: The best part of writing fanfiction is the opportunity to explore the characters' interior lives. This is my version of Spike's thoughts during the final scene of "Not Fade Away" Written for decade_of_spike, posted here for my memories.

A/N II: Lines taken from the AtS S5 ep "Not Fade Away", John Milton's "Paradise Lost", WIlliam Ernest Henley's "Invictus", Lord Alfred Tennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade" and Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities"


( Sufficient to have stood... )

Pairing: Angel, Spike

Rating: PG-13

A/N: Written for selene2's banner at indigo_crypt, Set just after the end of AtS S5 episode "You're Welcome"...

Pairing: Faith/?

Rating: R

A/N: I have the next chapter of  "And Roads Covered With Blood" written, but I want to wait until after my vacation to post it. It needs a thorough editing which is something I can't do when I'm running as much as I am now. Also have my "Three Little Words" challenge entry written, but again, it needs a deep down editorial scrub. So instead I'll hand you this sop. Just a bit of AU/AR inspired by the last little bit of BtVS S7 ep. "Chosen". Feel free to slam this one...I'm  not entirely happy with it.

Summary: Faith writes a farewell letter before the big battle.

Pairing: Spike, Dawn

Rating: PG-13 for a mild bit of adult language and themes

A/N: Written for the darker_spike fic challenge. Inspired by fanbot's "Bend it like Buffy" manip
