I would love to be able to write. I can't, but I have so much fun trying! I think it would be impossible not to write about Buffy and Spike. Chemistry like nothing else on earth, and a love story as iconic as they come, I think.

Writing Buffy and Spike has been sheer indulgence for me, and I bring you this selection of what I believe to be my better efforts, in the hope that you will indulge too!

New Stories

Forget-me-not Buffy and Spike on the hellmouth; a lifetime of love, and a field of flowers.
PG

Flesh To You Am I flesh? Am I flesh to you? Reunion between Buffy and the incorporeal Spike of early AtS S5. Written based on pre-season spoilers.
PG-13

Season 7

Each part of my Season 7 ficlet series was written in response to some magical Season 7 event - be it the smallest, most subtle of moments, or something so immense it was monumental. Mostly from Buffy's POV.

My Treasure Your mind is my treasure, and if it were broken, it would be my treasure still - from Jane Eyre. My response to Beneath You, from Buffy's POV. I think the context speaks for itself.
PG-13

Someday I'll Tell You Just another tiny Buffy-Spike moment, set somewhere after 'Help'. My take on "someday she'll tell you", and everything that is fragile and beautiful about early Season 7 Buffy-and-Spike.
PG

Still the Night Post-Showtime. Closeness, comfort, Christmas, and a little bit of spuffy magic.
PG

Resolution Post-Showtime still, a little way on. It's New Year's Eve, but if Buffy wants to keep her resolutions, maybe she's chosen the wrong person to spend it with...
PG

Last Step Somewhere along the line loving him got easy.
Mid-to-late Season 7. The back porch, one last time.
PG

On A Less Serious Note

I don't know what this says about me, but I have a sneaky suspicion my silly fics are the best. I certainly had a lot of fun writing them. Prepare for a very wicked take on the Buffy universe!

A Hairdresser Always Knows For anyone that has ever speculated about the significance of Buffy's hairstyles, fantasised about Spike, or wondered what Clem would wear to a wedding. From Gone, S6 through S7, all told from the POV of Sunnydale's hairdresser.
PG

Buffy vs The Count For everyone that loved Hairdresser, and took the time to let me know.
Buffy/Sesame Street crossover.
Set shortly after Lies My Parents Told Me.
PG-13

Over the Rainbow Buffy/Rainbow Crossover. Zippy, George and Bungle are in great peril! Buffy sets out to save them, but their guardian Spike may have other ideas. Set in an alternate S5.
PG-13

Season 8

Episode 1 My perfect beginning to BtVS: Season 8. My very first Spuffy fic, written just before the end of Season 6. This is my fantasy Buffy universe, although, to be fair, you'll find that not that much has changed!
PG-13

Teaser Act I Act II
Act III Act IV
