5 Stories by Hello_Spikey, lately put up on AO3

One of our Classic Fandom treasures is hello_spikey, whose secret identity includes being an award-winning professional speculative fiction writer. Shhhh. We had her first!

While not all of her stories are on AO3 yet, many are. Versatility is her hallmark. I daresay that among her works there is a story with a pairing, a rating, a kink, or a mood to suit the tastes of any Buffyverse fic fan. Here is a brief selection of a very few of my personal favorites, in ascending order of length:

Once More, With Lorne (Teen, 1624 words)
Lorne investigates reports of an entire town bursting into song.

A Lost Letter of Jane Austen (Teen, 2462 words)
A clergyman's daughter writes her sister about two new acquaintances, a Mr. and Mrs. Angelus.

A Family Visit (Mature, 4088 words)
The Fanged Four visit the Master to present the newest in the line.

Debriefing Dana/Slayer Memories (Mature, 18,000 words)
Once the Watchers Council has retrieved Dana from Wolfram & Hart, she reveals some sensitive information to the Head Slayer. Such as that Spike isn't quite as dead as Buffy thought.

The Mad Queen of Cleveland (Mature, 53,000 words)
The slayers in Cleveland have a problem for which Spike is the solution.

The above are mostly in the gen/het categories, but if you'd like to go hunting slash, you'll find plenty of it. She has a special facility for hurting pretty young (for a certain value of young) men. Fictionally, of course. Enjoy!

Nice, thank you! :) "The Mad Queen of Cleveland" sounds like a great time.

Well, it gets pretty intense, and not everybody (Spike) has such a great time at points. Very interesting for all that!

Ooh, nice stuff that runs the gamut!

Oh, yes! She covers the waterfront. In fact, I'd add Dana, Buffy, Drusilla, and Spike to the featured tagged characters, if I could. There are many more in her portfolio, of course, and if I'd gone into the slash, nearly every character from both Buffy and Angel would've been in the mix!

Ooh, nice, and while I'm a Hello Spikey fan, I don't know any of these! ;-)

Thanks for the shout out!

I really gotta get into those old stories and edit them... I was such a bad non-editing fanfic writer!
