4 Halloween Themed Stories

Hey all! I hope you had a great Saturday. Mine wasn't as busy as usual as I've twisted my ankle and I actually stayed off of it today.

As Next week is Halloween, I've decided to follow the theme and pick a few tales from that genre.

My first choice for today is an ABH from one of my favourite authors. In this, "you" are Rupert's girlfriend in Sunnydale. (It's during the high school years. I'm thinking season 3.) It's set on Halloween. You and Rupert are getting ready to go to a costume dance. You've picked out a hot costume for him, including tight black leather pants and boots. What will he pick for you in return? It's not a long story, but it is well written and I love the cute interaction between the characters. It's a great read. It's aptly named Halloween and it's by Gylzgirl.

My second choice is set in season 4. (I think.) Giles decides to take the group camping for Halloween. After Xander dares him to tell a scary story around the campfire, Rupert changes the subject to pressing business. He tells them he actually brought them out here because of some ritualistic killings in the woods. He then tells them he hopes they can draw out the evil that did it by being targets. Of course they are pretty upset. Can you blame them? Demons, evil, and it's not even a real camping trip??? He tells them about their foe, a demon that is ruthless and capable of stealing a Slayer's strength. They are all starting to get a bit freaked. He tells them that Xander and Willow will have to help Buffy, he can't. Why not, they want to know. Where will you be? His response? Well ,you'll have to read the story to find out. :) Now, this is part 1 of the story. It does continue on to a naughty part 2, where Buffy gets to spend some naked time with her Watcher. The link to that part is at the bottom of part 1. Where is part 1? Right here: It's called Careful What You Ask For by Wickedfox and here is Part 1. I particularly liked this one for how everyone stayed in character and it was fun and wonderfully written. Totally worth the read.

My third choice is set in season 4. The gang is going to a Halloween party and Rupert and Buffy are dressed in the same costume! Buffy's a bit miffed about that and that he is going out with them and is a bit rude to him. But the party turns out to be a dud, so when Buffy wants to leave early, Rupert offers to walk her home. On the way, she apologises to him, then takes him on a detour to show him a very picturesque spot. He has his camera with him and they have a great time taking pictures of each other. After a slip that lands him under her, they start back to his place with a quick stop to share hot chocolate. Sparks fly between the two of them and it leads us to this really fun line: "Giles, maybe this would be the moment where you put down the camera and show me that you are in fact not a *gay* Greek god." It's sexy, fun. and really, who wouldn't want to spend Halloween shagging the Watcher? The story is called Time of My Life by Gabriele Shultz and it's rated FRAO.

My last pick for the day isn't a Halloween story, but it is a ghost story. Set between seasons 4 and 5, this story has Rupert and Buffy stranded at a haunted house. When Rupert's car dies, they walk to an abandoned house. As they walk through it, they discover how beautiful is it, how nice the furniture looks. The find old clothing in the rooms and change from their wet things. Now, what they don't see or hear, but we do, is a pair of ghosts watching them. And these ghosts seem intent on setting the Watcher and Slayer up. I just love this line: "Can't you see it in his eyes when he looks at her? He's her protector, who's resorted to protecting her from himself." When one of the ghosts scares the crap out of Buffy after she's gone to bed, it sends her running across the hall to Rupert. When they decide to sleep in the same bed for safety, it leads to an interesting time. After a romantic night snuggling after very hot sex, they drive back to Rupert's place in the morning. But then we see a family drive up to where the house was, except, there is no house. It had burned down years before. It's a fun ghost story and it huge bit of romance. It's called Serendipity by Elle.

I hope you enjoy these and have a great Halloween. Happy reading!
