Five Plus One Recent Spuffy Quickies

[feliciacraft.livejournal.com]

I mean ficlets, of course, all posted in the last quarter of 2016 at sb_fag_ends. Only some of them are naughty, but all of them are nice. Because sometimes drabbles and ficlets are all the time RL allows us to escape into the Buffyverse.

In reverse chronological order:

Regrets, I've Had a Few
By shapinglight
Rated PG
Buffy doesn't look back. Because when she does, well, she comes to realizations like the one in the last line. And it's a heck of a line.

Attraction
By hello_spikey
Not Rated (PG?)
A wonderful moment with (imagined) Season 4 Spike & Dawn. You're right, Buffy, there's nothing to see here.

Watcher
By brutti_ma_buoni
Rated PG
Spike contemplates Buffy's resurrection in this early Season 6 ficlet. The layers of emotions captured here are exactly why I still root for him, root for Spuffy.

The Fun House Doors of Perception
By rebcake
Rated Mature
A very different side of Season 6 Spike. Well, maybe not so different. He's still love's bitch, and I love him for it.

There Used to Be
By foxstarreh
Rated T
Already rec'd by shapinglight, but I can't get this ficlet out of my head. Future fics featuring Buffy or Spike alone tend to be unbearably sentimental. There's so much left unsaid in this one, yet so much emotion comes through anyway.

Men at Work
By the_moonmoth
Not Rated (R?)
The lighter side of Season 6 with uhm...eye candy. (Oh, Moonie, I knew I could count on you!) But I had no idea poverty could be so sexy! (Cue "I volunteer as tribute!")

I love quickies! Thanks for the list. :-)

You're quite welcome!

And sb-fag-ends remains a treasure trove of Spuffy fic and art, even from the year that was "quietest" in fandom activity. I do hope people continue to visit and post to the comm!

Great to see this salute to the community! Just one thing, it's missing a cut tag after the first item ;)

[feliciacraft.livejournal.com]

Oops, thanks for spotting that. Remedied!

I've read Watcher and thought it was amazing. Haven't come across the others, so will add to my list to read :)
