5 Longer Future And/Or Time Travel Spuffy Fics!

[debris4spike]

I do like to read a longer fic, as it gives you a chance to really enjoy the story, and for the author to develope a complex plot, and to give some great character depth.

The first of these fics is future fic, but with time travel involved. The next 3 are time travel fics; and the last is a future fic.

I hope that you enjoy reading them as much as I have.



1)  The Ultimate Betrayal  by jamies_lady 

http://spikeluver.com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory.php?sid=27821  

Summary: Buffy discovers that she and the other slayers have been under a horrible spell and that she has been betrayed by the one person you'd least suspect

Rated NC-17

Post series – Time Travel
 

 

2)  Pandora’s Boxer  by    Speakr2customrs

http://dark-solace.org/elysian/viewstory.php?sid=879

Please note, that you have to register with Elysian Fields to read this, as you have to be an adult.

Summary: At the completion of his trials in Africa, Spike is offered an alternative to a soul; a second chance. The cave demon sends him back in time 3 years - but wipes his memory of the intervening time! Will the same things happen all over again - or will it work out a little differently? Could this be a second chance not only for Spike, but for Buffy and the Scooby Gang? In a world in which “Kick the Spike” is a game more dangerous than juggling with nitro-glycerine, can they learn to respect the vampire and avoid the mistakes they made first time round? Or will entirely new mistakes lead them to a different but equally catastrophic destination?

3)  Only Time Will Tell  by Dampersandspoons

Summary:  A year after the Hellmouth collapsed, Buffy and co., who now reside in London, are faced with an interesting mission. They must retrieve an artifact, however, this one was destroyed over a hundred years ago. In order to retrieve it, she and her watcher must travel back in time to the late 1800's, to the precise location where William lived before he was turned. Will she risk changing history to seek out the one she loves or will she be put in a completely different situation than she'd anticipated in the first place?

Yummy! I can't wait to read the first two, which I missed. These are just the sort of story to keep up reading waaaay past my bedtime.

The last two stories are also available on Bloodshedverse.com without registration. And, a bunch of Dreamweaver's stories meet (and exceed) your criteria here. I hope people who like the one you've listed will check out her other stuff.

[debris4spike]

I already had mentioned Dreamweaver ina previous post - her stories are great, aren't they.

The Ultimate Betrayal certainly made me miss my bed-time (Sorry!!!!! - LOL)

I always enjoy time travel stories, they're so often a great way of re-examining the series.

[debris4spike]

They are great - one of my favourite genres.

[moscow-watcher.livejournal.com]

I read only the last one. Great story. Thank you for the recs, they sound interesting.

[debris4spike]

Hope you enjoy the others, when you get some time.

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

I love time travel and you've collected some excellent reads.

[debris4spike]

Time Travel is one of my favoutite genres - so hope that you enjoy them.

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the rec. Lots of interesting stuff here.

[debris4spike]

Hope that you enjoy the other 4 fics!

Pandora's Boxer is excellent and I'll have to try the others.
For those not wanting to have to register, you can find Pandora's Boxer in speakr2customrs's memories here (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=speakr2customrs&keyword=Pandora%27s+Boxer&filter=all).

[debris4spike]

Thanks for that extra link ... I tried finding her name, but obviously mis-spelt it!

They are a great set ... IMHO!

[zanthinegirl.livejournal.com]

Just an FYI: "lj user="speakr2customr"> is a guy. One of the few! Great story. Harmony/Riley is aan inspired pairing!

[debris4spike]

Thanks - even if I don't know the author ... it is a great story!

[speakr2customrs.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked "Pandora's Boxer" - but isn't this session of buffyversetop5 only for things from 2008? I wrote this story in 2003/2004 and, although at first it was only on my own website, I posted it on LiveJournal in 2006.

[debris4spike]

Hi - Yes, it is for things in 2008 ... but you posted it up on one of the web sites during this year, heb=nse the rec yesterday.

I must also apoolgise for not linking to your LJ (which I would then have found it had been written earlier!) - but I mis-spelt your name in the search, so couldn't find it.

It is a great story - even if from the wrong year of writing!

[speakr2customrs.livejournal.com]

You say it went up on a web site in 2008? Which one? I haven't put it up anywhere since 2006, which is when I posted it at Elysian Fields, so a more recent posting must have been without my knowledge or consent.

[debris4spike]

No - and I again have to apologise to you ... it was 2006 on Elysian Fields. I mis-read the date ... and the weird thing is the other mods must have as well.

So - sorry ... again (am grovelling as I type!)

[shapinglight]

Those all look very interesting. Thanks for the links.

[debris4spike]

Hope that you enjoy them.
