5 Works in Progress

[snickfic]

Three Spuffy, two not, all things that had new chapters this year and that I'll be really excited to see finished!

1. The Vampire in the Basement, by beneficia - (7/16? chapters)
post-BtVS, AU Sherlock
Dawn Summers, latest vampire with a soul, wants 221A Baker Street for her very own. Only there's this obnoxious guy from upstairs who will not quit snooping, and damn if Dawn's going to let that slide. I would never in a million years have thought that the world needed a Dawn/Sherlock crossover, but I am so glad there is. If anyone's going to put Sherlock in his place, it's Dawn.

2. I've Heard It in the Chillest Land, by mediumrawr - (1/3 chapters)
post-everything
The latest installment in a series of Faith/Giles fics, this one has plot! And exploration of Buffy-angst! And, we hope, another step in the Faith/Giles relationship. Exciting stuff.

3. When the Rest of Heaven is Blue, by ruuger (2/6 chapters)
post-everything
Spike and Buffy travel a little farther back in time than they meant to, and run into Spike's mother. Cue angst, oh angst. Wonderful voices, great humor, and lots of small sweet Spuffy moments in between the angst.

4. At Your Service, by dampersnspoons (24/? chapters)
Buffyverse AU
There are demons and ghosts and supernatural doings, but not as we know them; Spike's a vampire and Buffy's the Slayer, but not quiet as we know them, either. Half the fun is watching Dampers remix the canonical Buffyverse elements, and the other half is watching Buffy kick demony butt and fall ever harder for Spike. Lots of fun.

5. The Spikeid, by quinara (6/12 books)
post-NFA
The post-apocalyptic epic poetry with Spuffy in it that you never knew you wanted. Yes. Really impressive stuff.

Oooh, I'm not familiar with the first one - I'll have to check it out. Thanks for posting.

[quinara]

Oh, ee, thanks again! And, hmm, this reminds me that I really need to work on a revision of Book I - I think I can do better these days and there are some stylistic tics that don't really work with how I continue...

[snickfic]

You're welcome! It turns out you're kind of a theme in my recs this year.

(I actually feel a bit sheepish about reccing you here, because I haven't been keeping up. I was having trouble keeping track of the plot between installments. But I'll get back to it. I will!)

[quinara]

I'm feeling very honoured! :D

(Oh, I was wondering if you'd read the latest ones, but I didn't like to ask! Sorry about being so slow; I hope you enjoy it when you get round to reading. Book VI is super-Spuffy...)

Hee! I was following that first one, but lost track of it because she was updating so infrequently.

[snickfic]

Yeah. I hope she starts up again soon. The last bit with the Holmes men and the two Summers women at dinner was priceless.

*nods* It was, wasn't it?

I would never in a million years have thought that the world needed a Dawn/Sherlock crossover, but I am so glad there is. If anyone's going to put Sherlock in his place, it's Dawn.

Ha! Sounds like a fun idea.

[snickfic]

*nods*

Messing with Dawn is never a smart idea.

#4 looks awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[dampersnspoons.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the rec! And, uh...I should be updating that very soon! :D

And I think it's science fact that everything ruuger touches is pretty much golden.
