Summary:

(Author's choice of title) I admit I'm a total sucker for those convenience store romance novels that have a Christmas/Holiday theme. I read a ton of them every November/December but would *much* rather be reading Spuffy versions.

 

What I'm looking for:

 

  • Obvious holiday theme
  • Spuffy fairly quickly: there should be a plot besides them getting together. A terribly thin plot is fine. Like the money Joyce had set aside to buy Dawn and Buffy presents goes missing in S5 so they all make do and then Spike finds the envelope behind the fridge the next day. Nothing too angsty please, this is meant to be fun and enjoyable.
  • HOT! (NC-17 or AO) and make it count early and often. There's lots more than just getting the D in the V as possibilities. Over the top UST in the beginning is A-Okay.
  • Medium length so 20-35 K ish. Not a hard and fast rule.
  • For this challenge no AH please.
  • Holidays are meant to be spent with family- so I'd prefer settings that have Scoobies around instead of Buffy and Spike trapped alone somewhere.
  • Happy Spuffy ending- so it can't all be for nothing at the end with Spike and Buffy forgetting how their holiday went.
  • Any season, post-season, etc. is fine- but I really don't like the comics (just as a F.Y.I.) Or time travel would be nifty too! (Victorian Christmas, anyone?)
  • And again- light on the angst. Conflict: yes, Buffy meditating on the meaning of life while crying and arranging matchsticks: No.
  • Most importantly HAVE FUN.
