Summary
Post-Chosen, Buffy's struggling to adjust to the new status quo of her life: no longer the only Slayer, but still The Slayer. The one in charge. Propelled to investigate a strange blip on the magical radar, Buffy finds herself in Duluth, Minnesota and much more than she bargained for.
Meanwhile, Spike has come back from the brink himself, only to be entirely at loose ends. No purpose, no guiding light, he gets himself out of LA and into a mess of, well, not hot water, that's for certain.
AKA, Buffy and Spike reunite in my home state and they hate it.
Written for EF's 2026 Challenge Month, answering werehorse's challenge of Spuffy vs. YOUR favorite local cryptid, which I've had my eye on for months. This has been a lovely excuse to get Spuffy to Minnesota.

Summary
Buffy Summers' long time skating partner, Liam "Angel" O'Connor, ditches her for Drusilla Keeble. Who just ditched her partner, William "Spike" Pratt. Spike has a crazy notion, Buffy has dedication, and both of them are gonna get their own back and show their stuff on the ice. And maybe find something else better along the way.
Thanks to the Olympics and Kliomuse nudging me (and cawthraven for politely bullying me). Or you're both at fault. IDK anymore. I have lost all control of my brain and life.

Summary
Buffy's glum, Parker's an asshole, and Spike is after the Gem of Amara... and also naked? How did that happen? What will Buffy do about it? Does anyone get any studying done? Find out!
A cracky idea that is fucking stupid and about 50% stupid fucking by volume.
Thank you to Floot and Grianbui for the beta!

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck... by zinjadu

Summary
... It's a duck.
There's just a tiny bit of magic floating around after Willow ends the Will be Done spell, and it turns the resident captive vampire into a duckling. And he's so adorably angry about it. Question is now... who's going to take care of duckling!Spike? Oh, it's Buffy, of course.
But Spike being a duck doesn't mean everything else goes away. He's got a new perspective, and over time, so does Buffy. Changes to Season 4 grow as time goes on.
I'm sure someone's written something like this before, but I got the idea and here we are. The plot also started to happen, and now I can't stop it.

Summary
Halloween 1997 is pure chaos thanks to Ethan Rayne. However, rather than the generic noblewoman dress, Buffy goes back to pick out something a little different. A little more... regal. The change in costume unleashes a whole lot of other changes for Buffy and Spike both.
Never thought I'd be writing a season 2 Spuffy romance, but here we are. Thanks to flootzavut for reading the beta!
Written for the Elysian Fields 2025 Transformation Challenge. Cross-posting here.

Summary
The story of one Zahra Shepard. Daughter, sister, soldier, biotic, commander, and very, very reluctant savior of the galaxy. Pretty sure someone else would be better suited to the job, but the galaxy got Zee. Good thing she doesn't know how to quit.
Zahra's playlist now included.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

A collection of short stories about my canon Warden, Caitwyn Tabris, often originally written for /r/dragonage. Will be updated and re-arranged in chronological order as I write new things. Music for Caitwyn
Her life was dwarfed, and wed to blight,

Her soul, a bud,—that never bloomed.
