Summary: Okay, so it would be a time travel fic to Season Five from post-Chosen/NFA (author's choice), but here's the twist- Spike/Buffy (whichever you choose) from the future is put into Xander or Anya's body! So he/she has to try to keep the timeline mostly intact, making changes wherever he/she wishes, but mostly, he/she is trying to give the past Buffy and Spike a better chance at a relationship!

Must Have: 1. Spuffy 2. Past Buffy and Spike can't find out about the time traveller until the end of the fic, or not at all 3. Angel bashing from the spuffy couple! (But not so much that it's silly) Riley bashing is nice, too. 4. If the time traveller is in Anya, nobody takes him/her seriously, and he/she has a hard time making people listen. 5. LOTS of UST

Can't Have: 1. Bander. (So if it's Buffy in Anya... no experimentation) 2. Ridiculous dumpings (Buffy's not going to just drop Riley in a second! If he goes because she sends him away, it's a thought-out decision 3. Nonstop vulnerable!Spike

Might Have: 1. Spander (If Spike's in Xander)

Summary:

I've been thinking about this for a while, but I completely fail at writing anything more than one-shots, and this kind of needs to be a multi-part story.

Instead of Buffy being the Slayer, it's her mum; Joyce, as the Slayer, became pregnant and gave birth to Buffy after she was Chosen.  Thanks to good, old-fashioned science, whatever the Slayer mojo alters in the Chosen One's genes is passed along to the Slayer's children - but because of the nature of the Slayer line, is only activated when the child is a girl.

The end result is that Buffy is born with all the trappings of a Slayer.

Must have:

• Much as I like her, Joyce is going to have to die, and probably when Buffy is quite young; infant or toddler, your choice.  I'd like to see Joyce go out fighting, since I think she deserved something better in the series, but how it goes down is entirely up to you - if you want to keep it an aneurism, I won't smite you.

• Buffy being sent off into the care of the Council, and the stodgy old bastards scrambling to raise a preternaturally strong, willful little girl.  Hi-jinks ensue.  I'd like to see the Council trying to go it alone at first, in their eternal arrogance, before eventually caving and calling for reinforcements; who they hire to help is up to you.

• Spike must be evil, at least to start.  And any romance between them has to wait until Buffy's at least sixteen, if not older.  It's up to you how they meet, but meet they must, since this is, of course, a Spuffy story.

• The demon world finding out that there's a child running around with Slayer powers, and they figure she'll be easy pickings.  The implications of this are pretty much up to you; I'm not picky how it goes down.

• Buffy eventually ending up in Sunnydale, where the current Slayer is running the show.  The current Slayer can be anyone you want - as long as it isn't one of the Scoobies - and her relationship with Buffy can be good, bad or neutral, or even frenemy-like; it's up to you.

• A Spike/Dru relationship that's reminiscent of S2 to begin with.

Optional/open to interpretation:

• The Scoobies being older than Buffy.  You can keep them all the same age if you want, too.  Regardless, they will probably have experienced some of the canon apocalypses by the time Buffy meets them.

• Robin Wood, in some incarnation; principal of the high school, Watcher, whatever.  Whether Buffy meets him or not is up to you. 

• Buffy sojourning with her father or her father's family, either when she's older or directly after Joyce dies.  Hank can be in the picture or not, it's up to you.

• Buffy/Other, Spike/Other (obviously); neither can be permanent, of course, but I won't die if it's there.  I'd rather nothing graphic, though, i.e. Spike and Dru shagging like rabid bunnies; I can handle it if it's implied, though.

• Claiming, however you want it to go down.

• Another baby or a pregnancy scare.

• Buffy directly involved in an apocalypse.

• A prophecy.

• Angelus.  How he rears his ugly, over-gelled head is a free-for-all.  Can be Buffy's fault, or the Slayer's, or something else entirely.

Mustn't have:

• Buffy or Spike dying.  Anyone else can kick it, though.

• The romantic relationship between Buffy and Spike can't be abusive/violent/awful.  I don't really care if they kick the crap out of each other before that, but I wasn't particularly fond of the way S6 played out in terms of their relationship, so I don't want to see it go in that direction.  They can argue, and stuff, but don't push it too far.

• Spike getting chipped.

• Drusilla running off with a Chaos demon; I'd like to see the Spike/Dru relationship end in a different way, whether it's before Spike and Buffy meet or after.  Your choice how it goes down, but keep the slimy antlered guy out of it.

And... that's pretty much it.  This fic is pretty much entirely AU, so have a party.  I'd like to see the characters stay relatively close to canon, but exact copies would be kind of boring, so feel free to mix it up a bit. 

As far as the rating goes, that's your choice, too.  Whatever you're comfortable with, really.

In my head, I see this as something of a comedy, but if you want to take it in the opposite direction, go ahead.  I'd just like to see what you're prepared to make of it. 

Ready... set... go!

Summary:

In Season One, instead of Buffy being the slayer; it's Dawn. Dawn is the slayer and Buffy is her older, human sister. How does their role reversal change what has happened?

 

REQUIREMENTS:

- At least one character has to say, "At least my hair is real!"

- Buffy protecting Spike even though Dawn tells her that he's dangerous.

- Willow casting a spell that causes permanent effects on Spike/Buffy.(Claim, Turning, etc)

CANNOT HAVE:

- Buffy/Angel or Spike/Dawn. Can have Dawn/Angel if you'd like.

- Buffy as the slayer or as a potential.

- Buffy with any non-human powers. Not a slayer, a witch, or anything in between. Buffy needs to be 100% human (unless you want Spike to turn her, of course...)

 

No length requirements, but the longer the better. I'll enjoy reading any responses.

Categories: Season 1, Claim, Alternate Reality, Challenge Response Characters: Ensemble

Summary:

(Inspired by the episode “Normal Again”, the prequel comic “Slayer, Interrupted”, and a desire to see S7 basement dwelling Spike outside of the broken, guilty soul, Spuffy baggage context. Go as gritty as you like, but feel free to use black humor or make a dramedy.)

Buffy Summers, social butterfly and high school cheerleader, has suffered a massive breakdown. Her wealthy parents place her into a mental hospital with high hopes, but Buffy is deadset against cooperating and intent on wallowing in her depression. She finds an unlikely (and only) friend in fellow patient William Pratt, a restless man with a wicked sarcastic streak and intimate knowledge of how to work the facility to one’s favor.

Unfortunately, no matter how funny and sweet Buffy finds him, William’s also there for a reason. A reason which becomes clear as his lucidity comes and goes, his movements awkward and closed off, all depending on his mental state and what meds they’re trying him on. (When he takes them, that is.) But with Buffy William feels better, more like a whole man, and works to pull her out of her problems, listening to and comforting her in a way she’s quite stubbornly refusing to get from therapy. Making her laugh again.

She, in turn, becomes used to his random asides that don’t make any sense, sometimes to people who aren’t there, and the frequent reckless pranks and impulsive adventures in mischief he orchestrates out of boredom.

Must Have:

• Everything mentioned up above in the summary, if you can swing it. Take it where you will!

• William basically being Spike…just under his real name. No shy, virginal poet characterization. In fact, before being committed, he was the brash, pierced, bleached punk Buffy sees in the few photographs he shares with her. But *before* that (as always) he was poncy momma’s boy William, so feel free to let it slip out every so often. Especially when he’s not feeling so hot.

• William being older than Buffy, by at the very least three or so years. Buffy herself being still in high school, which gives you a range of 15 to 18. (She was committed at 15 in canon.)

• Mention of the medications the two are prescribed for their separate problems and demonstration of the various side-effects within the story, be they listlessness, nausea, hypersensitivity, mood swings etc. (Such things are easy to look up on the internet.) The characters sometimes getting away with not taking them, for whatever reason, leading to conflict/shenanigans.  (I can imagine William doing this often, just to keep reality from crashing down on him…and Buffy doing it just to be difficult.)

• A relatively happy ending. Maybe Buffy visiting William after she’s left, with him showing undeniable improvement in the mental area. As long as it makes sense and doesn’t feel like a cop-out when meshed with the rest of the story you've written. Feel free to make use of a small time skip for your epilogue, like a few years or whatever's realistic.

Can’t Have:

• The institution being some sort of health-code violating bedlam or abusive torture prison pit. It’s just a normal facility, staffed with people both patient and not so patient. Doesn’t mean there isn’t skirting of rules occasionally, though. On a completely opposite note, don’t treat the place like some sort of straight-jacket filled summer camp or free-roam recreation palace.(Exception: You have a really good plot for it being a terrible hellhole or you're making it a historical.)

• Other canon characters populating the place (Willow, Xander, Angel, etc.) and making groups. Concentrate mainly on the interactions and therapy of William and Buffy, who feel very much like they can only trust each other. So…no Hospital Scoobies! Also, no Buffy having a serious boyfriend (Angel, Riley, random jock #28) waiting for her in the real world. Hospital’s got enough drama without worrying over that frustrating sub-plot.

• Sex or romance that isn’t Buffy/William (though implications of past sexual encounters is okay), main character death, rape, or an unhappy ending. And realistic endings do not count as “unhappy” endings, though I’d appreciate if you avoided “bittersweet”. It’d be nice if Buffy’s hospital stay wasn’t made more difficult by a pregnancy, as well.

Optional:

• If you really don’t want to go the depression/breakdown route with Buffy (I was aiming towards shades of early S6), feel free to have her there for something else, such as a mental illness or something trauma induced. (Suicide attempt?) As long as it’s in character and fits the tone. Hell, you can even give her those “Slayer” delusions if you like, just keep whatever she has different from William’s issues. (And call him Spike if you really want to.)

• Towards the end: The two of them, for whatever reason you’d like, deciding to sneak out and make a go of it together. Escape everything. They succeed, spending however many nights together you can reasonably fit into the narrative, playing pretend at being normal and domestic (Maybe even getting their hair bleached again!)…Only for William to sadly realize that, even though he’s brought his meds along like a good boy, he’s honestly still sick and Buffy’s only running away from her problems yet again. With her reluctant agreement, they return to the hospital and face the music.

• You can use some of the show’s authority figures, such as Giles or Wesley, for doctors if you’d like, but I’d keep it simple. Also acceptable are more minor characters as staff or patients, such as Andrew, Jonathan, or Clem. Making Anya one of the nurses, albeit a strange one, would be awesome. Not only would she be neutral enough to be a convenient plot device (bribable!) and yet still a believable employee, but her “bedside manner” interacting with the various sick people would be really fun to write!

Summary:

This is a crossover with Twilight. After that horribly traumatic kissing scene between Buffy and Angel, Spike leaves Sunnydale believing that he really meant nothing to her.

He goes in search of people who can help him. So he travels to Italy to get the Volturi. They agree to help him for a price. After the First is defeated Spike must join the ranks of the Volturi. He then travels to Forks, Washington and gets the Cullens and the Wolves to help.

Meanwhile back in Sunnydale, Buffy convinced Angel they no longer have any sort of romantic relationship. The LA gang stays to help with the fight. Xander relishes the fact that he was correct in saying Spike wouldn't stay with her.

Spike returns to Sunnydale, seemingly alone. He told no one where he's been. Few weeks later one of the potentials have a run in with the Volturi, and Spike must reveal what he's been up too. Buffy all this time is trying to prove to Spike that she loves him. But does she succeed?

MUST HAVES:

1. Spike getting captured by who? Up to you.

2. A free for all fight between Buffy and Spike in front of everyone. Which leads to a little more.

3. No one can know about the deal with the Volturi until it's almost too late.

4. SPUFFY

5. Cullens/Volturi/and the Wolves all bashing on Angel.

6. SPUFFY ENDING! A happy one.

7. Buffy has to suffer to earn Spike.

8. Rosalie calls Buffy out on her treatment of Spike, in front of everyone somehow.

CANNOT HAVE:

1. Buffy redeeming herself so easily.

2. Bangel

3. Spike easily forgiving her.

4. Spike dying.

Summary: Its an idea I would really like to see embodied as story. Totally AU! Buffy and Spike have age gap (from 7 to 12 years) and Buffy just coming close to being legal (like few months before her 18 birthday). Spike pretty burned by previous relationships and have lots of insecurities that lid to kind of split up. Then Buffy find out she is pregnant shortly after that he not react well accusing her of using baby to trap him or rope back. Being young and scared and hurtled by Spikes behavior Buffy get rid of baby only to find Spike sorry and ready to amend they disagreements and build a crib. Buffy deeply depressed by her own decision and don't want to be with Spike. Anyway sometimes later we find them back together maybe even married and hardly working on having baby but its just not happening giving them hard time. They both healthy abort don't wrecked Buffy's bodies its just a way of life I think. Then after all Buffy does get pregnant its progress uneasy for her ( some pregnancies harder then others or thats what I heard some girls spending almost all 9 months being glued to bed). Moving from stress of no pregnancy to stress of constant fear of loosing baby Buffy ain't easy to deal with so at some point Spike freaks out he is tired and want some winding out. He miss easiness on they earlier pre-abort relationships. He coming dangerously close to cheat on Buffy. Maybe we even should believe for a while he did. And sure so did Buffy that land her right into hospital in critical state (may be she overstepped and fall or something like that). And after all that mess I would love happy ending.

Summary:

I've think on this story for a while, but i'm so busy and havn't time to write by myself, so...:

It would be situated on the begining of Buffy eight season's comics, but wouldn't take into account Angel's six season's comics. It'd start when Amy cast a spell on Buffy and she falls asleep like Sleeping Beauty.

 

Must have:

- Romance, some Angst and some Comedy, NC-17.

- The only way to wake up Buffy is when someone that she loves (in a romantical way) kiss her.

- Dawn is the only who knows about the new relationship between Angel and Buffy, the others still think they're in love with each other.

- The guy who Dawn lost her virginity with, was Connor (giggles).

- After Angel knows about sleeping Buffy's state, he mails to scoobies something that the Slayer ask to find, the Spike's Medallion.

- Of course, the medallion brings back Spike (you choose how and when).

- A happy Spuffy ending, with scoobies's accept and Angel's blessing.

Can Have:

- Cordy's resurrection.

- Dawn can still be giant.

- Angel and Buffy don't know anything about Dawn and Connor's relationship (you choose how they find out).

- Willow've broke up with Kennedy and she realizes she was in love with Xander o Giles. (LOL)

Summary: After Buffy dumps him in as you were Spike trys a drunken spell to fix his life. Instead he has to live out the rolls of his favorite movie characters in true Sunnydale style. Must haves 1. While 'in the roll' Spike's chip doesn't work. 2. At least one such roll must be William Wallace from Brave Heart and Spike gives the "You cannot have our freedom." Speeach to Buffy and the scoobs then flips up his kilt and moons them. Possible Anya comments also helpful. 3. Other rolls, Spike as a pirate, a superhero, and maybe Tarzan.

Summary:

In the mid-1980's, Spike is away from Drusilla, and in a Los Angeles shopping Mall he comes across a little girl watching as some tweed dressed men drag away her mom. He doesn't attack her, but actually talks to her.  She tells him that they called her a potential and they want to take her away from her mom.  She can see darkness hanging over them.  She surprises him when she tells them they are looking for him too; that someday they would be great champions and a future evil is trying to rid the world of them.  How she knows this is up to you (dreams, time travel/buffy trapped in her six year old body, magic).  They are able to recruit other canon characters to help them, ie Giles, Anyanka, Angel, Lawson(I just like him, okay?) etc. 

Can't have:

Buffy/Angel, it has to be Spuffy all the way.

Nothing romantic between Spike and Buffy until she's at least 16

Verbal sparring is wonderful, both Spike and Buffy are sarcastic and witty, but no violence or torture.

Summary:

I was watching this movie and I couldn't help but think that it would fit great with Spike/Buffy.

So, the main plot is:

-Buffy and another Scooby girl are sisters. Buffy's sister wants to date the hunky college-boy Angel, but their mother, Joyce, won't allow her to until Buffy starts to date as well. So, Angel enlists the help of Spike, paying him to get Buffy to go out with him so that he can date the other Summers girl.

 You can have any Scooby girl as Buffy's sister; whether it's Willow, Faith, Cordelia, Dawn, or some other Buffy character.

 However I do not want:

-Spike/Other: Please, please, PLEASE no Spike/Dru. Past mentions are okay, but don't have something like Spike dating Buffy to make Dru jealous. Just..No.

-Abusive Relationsip. I don't want anything like Season 6, please.

 

Everything else is up to the author. Have fun!

Summary: In this fic challenge, I hope for a Buffy turning up in S5 (ATS) as a vampire sired by Drusilla and she and Dru goes on a rampage during "Damage" when Spike got his hand cut off by that psycho slayer Dana. I want for Buffy to dress like Dru did during S2 of (BTVS) "School Hard" with her hair the same and also dark black. In this story, Buffy kills Dana and Kennedy. I want Buffy's game face to be the one from S1 "Nightmares" and for Wolfram and Hart to send her on a time quest to the year 1898 when Angel turns away his sire, childe, and grandechilde ("Fool for Love").

Summary:

I had this idea for a story. If anyone woul like to use this as a basis for a strory, short or long. Please accept this challenge. 

Post NFA. - Spike got the Shanshu and was turned human, and hates it. Spike hates having a weak human body, even though he actually is stronger now than when he was human the first time. Spike refuses to stop fighting and keeps getting hurt, sometimes really bad. Angel tries to cover his back and protect him during the fights, which just makes Spike angry (angry at Angel for trying to keep him alive) and hate being human even more. After a fight where Spike gets hurt really bad and is unconscious, Angel realizes that Spike is trying to get himself killed. (Spike wants to die, but he can’t just let himself be killed, his pride won’t let him commit suicide, he has to go down fighting.) Angel calls Buffy. (Will she care? Will she even want to help?)
