Fic: Tangerine Pieces (one of three)

thisficklemob

Hiya! My seasonal_spuffy  contribution this round will be an AU S7 BDSM comedy! … Wait, where are you going?

In all seriousness, I’m actually quite apprehensive about this one. It’s the first real pr0n I’ve posted, and because I’m apparently a masochist too, I had to bring in potentially touchy issues along with non-vanilla sex. Anyone who is totally horrified by the idea of a post-S6 Spike/Buffy bondage fic might want to skip it. (Those who are only slightly horrified should know I’m right there with you.)

A huge thank you to my wonderful beta rabid1st  for the kind reassurance and stern corrections.

In this alternate S7, Spike is back, souled, and has been helping out the Scoobies; there’s no First Evil making him crazy.

Fic: Tekubi, Chapter 8

This entry is part 6 of 6 in the series Tekubi

Hey there! For my day I bring you more of a story in the running for World’s Slowest WIP: Tekubi. But! It is once again in progress; chapter 9 is with the betas.

If you’re new to the story, or want to reread, you can find all chapters here; start at the beginning: Tekubi, Chapter 1; or refresh your memory with Chapter 7.

If just you’d like to be reminded what was happening, here’s the “Previously on…”

Fic: The Spotlight, Chapter 2 of 2

thisficklemob

My most grovelly apologies for the delay; my beta rabid1st insisted on improving this chapter, for which I am most grateful. I’d like to thank itmustbetuesday for permitting me to post late, and especially the lovely missmurchison for graciously allowing me to post on her day. Thanks also to fitofpique, head f*** over at wrisomifu, and everyone who commented on Chapter 1, for their encouragement.

A couple of things I forgot to mention yesterday, as I was struggling to post. Aside from the obvious, this is an AU in that AI remained AI; they didn’t join Wolfram & Hart. Also, this fic should carry a schmoop warning.

I posted the first part right before the big crash yesterday. It’s here, if you missed it. And now the conclusion of the Fic that Broke Livejournal.

Fic: The Spotlight, Chapter 1 of 2

thisficklemob

Hello! My contribution today is a short story in two parts. Chapter 2 will be posted some time tonight, LiveJournal allowing. No WIPs from me this time. (Incidentally, if you caught my WIP Tekubi during the last S_S rounds, it is once again in progress; you can find all chapters of Tekubi in my memories here.)

Fic: Tekubi, Chapter 5

thisficklemob
This entry is part 5 of 6 in the series Tekubi

Hi, all! My sole contribution today is a continuation of my WIP from the last Season, Tekubi. It is a double-sized (for me) chapter. Expect schmoop, angst, humor, and the occasional pirate suit.

If you’re new to the story, or want to reread, find the previous chapters here: Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4.

Fic: Tekubi, Chapter 4

thisficklemob
This entry is part 4 of 6 in the series Tekubi

This will be my last post of the day. (I did tell you this was a WIP.) Thank you everyone for being so supportive and enthusiastic about my work. Special thanks to itmustbetuesday for creating this comm. It was the pressure of having a posting day to fill that finally got me back to working on this long-simmering story.

Now I’m going to kick back, answer comments if I have any coherence left, and indulge in some S2 Spuffy from my buddy in postage, the resplendent annapurna_2. All future chapters of Tekubi will be posted to my journal. Fair warning, a chapter a week is my goal. I work slowly. If you’d like to keep up with this fic but don’t want to scroll past my political or gratuitous real life posts to do so, or would rather wait until it’s finished, you can watch Tekubi in my memories.

Oh, and if anyone was curious: tekubi is Japanese for wrist, or literally, the hand’s neck.

Previously: Tekubi, Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3.

Thanks again to rabid1st  for the lightning-fast beta on this part. I’m still uncertain about parts of this chapter, but I figured you’d rather have two more chapters today than not.

Previously: Tekubi, Chapter 1 | Chapter 2.

Thank you, everyone, for your lovely comments on my previous posts. I’ll reply to them all when I’m done posting for the day.

If you missed it, in the wee hours this morning I posted Tekubi, Chapter 1, where you can find things like disclaimers and ratings and what the hell is going on here. And now…

Ficlet: “Pyre”

thisficklemob

This piece was originally intended to be the prologue of a longer story. That story may never be written, and this scene stands as an angsty ficlet on its own.

Rating: PG-13
Set: after the alley beating in “Dead Things”

Distribution: Do not post elsewhere without permission. Ask, I may say yes.
Feedback: adored.

Fic: Tekubi, Chapter 1

thisficklemob
This entry is part 1 of 6 in the series Tekubi

Hi! I’m caia, I’ll be your co-host here today on seasonal_spuffy, along with the talented annapurna_2.

My main offering will be the first couple chapters of a longer fic I conceived of back in the fall of 2003 based on spoilers for the AtS S5 episode “Damage”. Among the differences from canon, Spike’s hands are removed at the wrists, and he doesn’t immediately get them back. Don’t worry, though, there will be plenty of silliness and schmoop as well as angst.

Those allergic to WIPs may like to peruse my completed fiction.
