I stumbled upon fan fiction sometime during season six, and wrote my first fan fic ever at the end of that season.  I haven't stopped reading or writing it ever since.

Summary: Immediately after "Showtime," and though it's *way* late, meant to be for Spike's Good Day for the Nekid_Spike LJ community. So beware for all of you who hate fluff.

All the Way and Then Some by Scarlet Ibis [NC-17] Likes: 149 Comments: 58
Summary: Nominated at Loves Last Glimpse Awards This fiction takes place during the episode “All the Way.” This time, Dawn doesn’t get into “candy corn mischief.” She really did just hang out at Janice’s house in this one. The stupid teenage boy vamps aren’t out killing innocent old men or anybody- in fact in this story, they were already dusted by Buffy and Spike the day before. Re-watching the ep for like, I dunno the fifth time, I noticed how Buffy looked when Anya was talking about finding “the one,” Xander nervous at the time, and Buffy leaving the party, looking at happy couples on the way to Spike’s crypt. There was no ambulance, or anything like that, so in this version of the episode, Buffy has absolutely no distractions from her thoughts on Spike.

Summary: How exactly did Spike leave the bathroom? What words were said? How did Buffy end up on the floor, and how could Spike possibly leave his coat, and so forth? Well, here's my interpretation of that scene before the Xan Man comes barging in...

Summary: Takes place during "Smashed," right after Spike says, "Afraid to give me the chance?" and Buffy has him pinned against that column. you know the part. And no, this is not some smut recap. Not in the least.

Stir of Echoes by Scarlet Ibis [PG-13] Likes: 4 Comments: 1
Summary: Ever wonder how Buffy managed to get crazy basement! Spike to Xander’s apartment? [Though not how she asked Xander or got him to agree—that’s another tale, maybe] Maybe how s7 Halloween was spent? No? Well, I answered those questions anyway :P A season 7 one shot set directly before “Him,” and it is (mostly) canon friendly.

That Look of Peace... by Scarlet Ibis [PG-13] Likes: 15 Comments: 10
Summary: Nominated at Loves Last Glimpse Awards Well, the long and short of it? Fanwanks of missing scenes of season five, though I will eventually go off canon, because I can't help myself... In fact, this might be a bit of a non canon fanwank- but it's all in one's perspective, I suppose. Let me know what you think, and reviews are good for the soul.
