In Darkness Falls, the boys have to make the difficult choice of saving Dean by vamping him. Can they keep him from completely going to the darkside before they can get him re-ensouled, like Spike?

So. I'm tryng to clean up my house, right, and really take possession of it. This involves CLEANING it for one thing, and for another, removing old clunky things and replacing them with things I like and might use. Today's events and discoveries:

* Early microwaves are large, made of lots of metal, and hugely fuckin' dangerous. I regard getting mine all the way out of the apartment and into the trash an accomplishment.
* The new microwave is smaller, lighter, actually microwaves and has a turntable. Color me wowed.

* Picked up a wet-jet swiffer. I am now officially in love with the entire Swiffer concept. My kitchen floor is the cleanest it's been in years, I can walk on it, AND my back isn't killing me. Again, color me wowed. This is utterly worth the expense of the little swiffer pads.


Out of all the strange things I've done since resolving to start cleaning up this house, I think 'midnight mopping' is probably the weirdest.

The FF8 Out-Takes, by dazz.

And hosted by me, so they didn't get lost. You can see how much good that did, since I had to go trawling in my own website with an FTP client to find it, but - worth the work.

Daz? Could you find somewhere convenient to link this thing so it doesn't get lost again? It's one of your better pieces, old though it is.

Characters: Xander, Buffy, Willow, Giles

Rating: NC-17 overall

Summary: A vampire with a soul comes to Sunnydale to help The Slayer. Can a demon ever atone?

Previously...

( In your bed? He spent the night in your bed? )

These two always make me well up:

From Beneath You
Spike: I tried to find it, of course. The spark. The missing... the piece that fit. That would make me fit. Because you didn't want... God, I can't... not with you looking. I dreamed of killing you. I think they were dreams. So weak. And you make me weak. Thinking of you, holding myself, and spilling useless buckets of salt over your... ending. Angel, he should've warned me. He makes a good show of forgetting, but it's here, in me, all the time. The spark. I wanted to give you what you deserve, and I got it. They put the spark in me and now all it does is burn. It's what you wanted, right? It's what you wanted, right? And now everybody's in here, talking. Everything I did... everyone I... and him... and it... the other, the thing beneath... beneath you. It's here too. Everybody. They all just tell me to go... go... to hell. Buffy, shame on you. Why does a man do what he mustn't? For her. To be hers. To be the kind of man who would nev... to be a kind of man. She shall look on him with forgiveness, and everybody will forgive and love. He will be loved. So everything's okay right? Can... can we rest now? Buffy... can we rest?

From Potential
Xander: They're special, no doubt. The amazing thing is, not one of them will ever know, not even Buffy.
Dawn: Know what?
Xander: How much harder it is for the rest of us.
Dawn: No way. They've got--
Xander: Seven years, Dawn. Working with the slayer. Seeing my friends get more and more powerful. A witch. A demon. Hell, I could fit Oz in my shaving kit, but come a full moon, he had a wolfy mojo not to be messed with. Powerful. All of them. They'll never know how tough it is, Dawnie, to be the one who isn't chosen. To live so near to the spotlight and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes because nobody's watching me. I saw you last night. I see you working here today. You're not special. You're extraordinary.

Hey, uh, dazz?

I think I found you a new fan, but even though it's on my website I can't find the link to your old outtakes stuff. Tell me you still actually admit to writing it, wouldja? And maybe tell me where I stashed it before I force the battered lump that is my "Computer Which Uploads To The Website" to try turning on?

Title: The Fabulous Ladies Night Club
Author: ubiquirk
Rating: R
Genre: genfic: action-adventure, humor, drama
Word Count: ~13K
Character: Xander
Disclaimer: Not mine; no money.
AN: Set between S3 and S4 of Buffy. Written for spring_with_xan . Lots of thanks to my lovely beta, firefly_124 .

Summary: The road trip that wasn’t. After graduation, Xander only makes it to Oxnard before his car breaks down, and he finds himself washing dishes at The Fabulous Ladies Night Club. Forty miles to get back home might not seem that far, but sometimes, it can take a lot to cross.

The story will be completed and posted from May 6-8th.  The first 3 parts are up today:

  Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

Pairing: Spara
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: sexuality, violence, non-con, torture, angst, dark themes
Summary: Hurt/comfort AU beginning during the months between Seasons 5 and 6. Tara is just your typical college student at UC Sunnydale. Or at least, she’s trying hard to be…until a series of strange dreams of a mysterious, suffering stranger begin to haunt her nights. When this stranger unexpectedly crosses her path, he will draw her down a road she never expected, toward a love and a future she never thought she’d find.
Clause: They belong to the Joss, we just play with em.

Notes: This story will span the course of a very AU Season 6, as Tara gradually uncovers the secrets of Spike’s tormented past amidst events very different from canon Season 6. At the beginning of this story, Tara has not met Willow or the rest of the Scoobies, and though it has been several months since Buffy’s death, the Scoobies have not yet planned to raise the Slayer from the dead. Also, for the purposes of this story and the ‘ship it involves, Tara is heterosexual.
