Fic Master List - Menstruation in the Buffyverse

[clawofcat]

Blood has always been an important element in the supternatural and magical context of the Buffyverse. As Spike says in The Gift, "It's always got to be blood. Blood is life. Why do you think we eat it? It's what keeps you going. Makes you warm. Makes you hard. Makes you other than dead."

And, yet, on a show where blood was central to the conflict

Amazing list! I know there are more, and it's going to bug me 'til I find 'em. There are some great stories here, and I haven't even read 'em all!

[clawofcat]

Yeah, there are definately some wonderful pieces here. "Shards" and "A Dying Dream" are two of my favorite Spuffy fics regardless of bloody yumminess. I do miss euro_fics writing quite a bit.

"Sanguis" and "Thirty Days" I read last night and they were both fantastic, as well. I need more kita0610. Every time I read something by her I'm like, "Why the hell haven't I read more? Seriously."

Cool round up!
There's more menstrual stuff in my fics than that, I'm sure, though I forget which ones. And there's also some Angel/Jemima menstrual oral stuff in the last chapter of “Where They Have To…”

Thanks. It was a bit of a task trying to compile this list. Had to wrack my brain and scower Google for leads. I listed the Angel/Jemima scene under the Angel/OC category. That was actually the first M scene of yours I remembered. rebcake reminded me of the Spuffy one in the first chapter, as well. I could have sworn there was some in "Some Scenes," but I reread and couldn't find any. If you happen to remember a few other fics that might have it, let me know. It's possibly my favorite kink of all time. *yum*

I can't remember the name of the fic but there is one that is Spike/Dawn where they are in a relationship but Dawn has avoided him during her menstrual time. He makes a comment about it and shows up at the high school on a flow day.

I'm going to go ask at the seeking_spike page. If I remember the title or someone posts it I will be back with the info.

Thanks so much! You're awesome.

I'm pretty sure Herself has a few more stories that touch on it, but I can't remember which ones off the top of my head.

Necessary Evils has several scenes with Spike and Buffy having sex while she's menstruating, starting in Chapter 20. But they add up to maybe a thousand words tops out of a 300,000 word novel, so I don't know if that's the kind of thing you're looking for.

I know. One of the draw backs about prolific, long fic writers is it can be hard to remember specific events or fics in the bigger 'verse. I was proud of myself for simply being able to remember two of NK's stories where it's mentioned.

Yeah, I'm looking for fics that deal with it directly or in some way either as the theme of the story or by furthering the plot/relationship of the pairing. It seems that your fic incorporates it in passing as a regular part of Buffy and Spike's relationship. Thank you for chiming in and letting me know, though.

I don't think I knew I needed to read these fics until you posted this. Thanks.

[clawofcat]

Something new for you, is it? Most of the fics touch on some interesting elements of femininity/womanhood, subversion of gender taboos, and the bestial aspect of demonhood and vampirism. Hopefully you'll find something to your taste! I tried to weed out anything that was a PWP or out of character (and, boy, were there a few that I read that were horrendous).
