sb_fag_ends Halloween Challenge happens in the last week of October. Participating writers compete to fill the most prompts with short Spuffy stories of 1,000 words or less. It’s actually more complicated, but I can never figure out the rules. The important thing is the results. Whimsical, eclectic and comedic themes expertly written. One of the most fun fandom events of the year. Here are just a few of my favorites:
Party Hard

On Buffy’s 16th birthday, one week after she’s first told she’s the slayer, she meets Spike.

chasingdemons.livejournal.comI love seasonal coms, don’t you? It gives everyone a reason to show off their best work. Here are five of my favorite seasonal com posts in 2015:
Lies My Lover Told Me
fiction posted byshapinglight at summer_of_giles
Post-Chosen, Giles and Olivia meet and talk about then and now. The conversation goes in a direction that is not what Giles expected. As usual with shapinglight’s work, the characters are realistic and the dialogue is searing and brilliant.

rbfvid.livejournal.comSad That You Can't Hear by dragonyphoenix (G, ~500 words). After Jenny's death, Giles talks to her.
The road never travelled; for which we yearn bykerkevik_2014 (G, 100 words). During the Burning Man Jenny seeks the answers and gets more than she bargained for.
This Isn't A Kingdom by ilovehowyouletmefall (NC-17, ~35 000 words). It's beautifully crafted longfic set in Wishverse, where Rupert Giles and Jenny Calendar unexpectedly find themselves working with a group of students, struggling to hold back the forces of darkness.
Story is a bit dark, as you expect from the wishverse fic, but it's not hoplessly dark.
And some fanart:

rbfvid.livejournal.comOr, it's "Buffy-centric angsty shortfic", to be more specific. Stories arranged from longest to shortest.
Third Wheel byshapinglight aka Glassdarkly (Angel/Buffy & Darla, PG-13). Set during 'Surprise', this is a slightly AU BtVS season 2, in which Ethan Rayne's costume spell in Halloween had rather different consequences.
I'm a sucker for relationship studies where main focus is not romance per se but Buffy's development, and this one absolutely nails it.

Top 5 BtVS Fanfic
Jan. 2nd, 2016 10:14 pmdragonyphoenix.livejournal.comCaster Sugar first part and second: I'd requested a story - Spike eating the Band Candy - that thisficklemob had been thinking on for years. Spike reverts to William, which does make sense now that I think on it. It's delightful.
Gabrielle's Answering Prayers: Joyce and Angel's relationship in the summer between seasons 2 and 3. It's brilliant.
Il Mio Capitano's Double Dipping: One of three recs for stories set in "Band Candy". (The others are Caster Sugar and the Saturday NIght vid.) Ripper and Joyce don't go as quietly as Buffy thinks.
Punch Kicker's If You Are What You Say You Are: Okay, I adore this because Joyce is saved. What can I say? I like Joyce.
FeliciaCraft's Lust at First Sight: Giles falls.
