Just a quick ficlet, a response to a challenge on nekid_spike - follow on from the given first line.

It helps to follow this if you know that there is sporty-type stuff happening, the European Football (soccer) Championships (Euros) and that England is playing tonight in Rome.

Possibly FR-15 for implied sex? No more than that anyway.

( Clash of Priorities. )

Spike's home. Things can't be as grim as they have been. Can they?

( Touching the Fire Chapter 6 )

Now it's reached Chapter 8 on Elysian Fields, it's about time I updated here.

This is between Grave and Beneath You, so not exactly full of jolly banter. Things will get better for Spike though, I promise!

( Touching the Fire Chapter 5 )

It's my day at seasonal_spuffy today, and this is my entry. It's distinctly more explicit than I'm used to writing, so be warned if that's not quite your thing ( Read more... )

Still a little on the not entirely cheerful side, but I have at least avoided one notorious scene.

( Touching the Fire Chapter 4 )

This does get a bit grim for a chapter or two. It will get more cheerful eventually, promise!

Now up to Chapter 6 on Elysian Fields and not far off the end.

Rating: NC-17 or thereabouts.
Pairing: Spike/Buffy

I've been writing all month for the Elysian Fields Artistic Challenge Month. This year it's a banner-based challenge, and there were so many to choose from! In the end I chose this one, by fellow-Brit AlloSpoike

After some discussion on EF about Spike and the Buffybot I found myself thinking about the thematic importance of Warren's short-lived creation. This is the result - comments would be welcome, especially if you want to engage with or rebut my ideas, but if meta isn't your thing, feel free to pass on by.

( Spike, the Buffybot and Humanity. Now with added pictures! )

I loved the EW photos. But it's James, more than Spike. So I did a little, not entirely skilful, playing around with my PS Elements, which is a new version I am very far from having mastered (Marstered? See what I did there?)

( So, for your delectation, what they didn't photograph. )

It's my day to post at seasonal_spuffy: here is my offering for today. It's a fic set at the end of S6. Spike has a long way to travel, and lots to think about. Think, not brood. Definitely.

Title: Steps on a Journey
Rating: R (Mostly for Spike-language and mention of rape.)
Length: 1,654 words
