Rating: PG

Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us

( A Merry Little ChristmasCollapse )

Happy Holidays! It's the season of giving, and I have a gift of fic. This one is especially for the lovely enigmaticblues. It's another "pay it forward" ficlet, and she asked for Spike/Buffy, post-Chosen and something sweet.

This is also a little different in that it's a multi-media fic - you must watch the video here first. Seriously, you have to watch in order to comprehend the depth of Spike's horror. You see, it's Billy Idol, singing "Jingle Bell Rock." No, really.





And now, on to the fic!

TITLE: Rockin' the Night Away
AUTHOR: Cindy
SETTING: Post-Chosen
RATING: Soft R-ish for some naughty touching. Also, Spike tends to swear a bit.
LENGTH: 675 words or so.
DISCLAIMER: The characters aren't mine, but Joss said I could play with them.

( Rockin’ The Night AwayCollapse )

Today is the birthday of the lovely ljs! As is tradition, I come bearing fic of the Giles/Anya persuasion. And a while ago I participated in the "pay if forward" meme, in which I promised to write Lori a G/A fic as well, so I hope she doesn't mind that I combined the two.

The prompt Lori gave me was established-relationship, romance (it can be with an edge if you like), and "Mood Indigo."

This ficlet takes place sometime in a future where Giles and Anya are together (rather recently at this point). Rated PG13.

Happy Birthday Lori!

Whilst searching through my files for something else (which I still haven't found), I ran across this little ficlet, which I wrote eons ago - or at least a couple of years. :-) I don't think I ever posted it because I was planning on making it a full-fledged fic and never got around to it, but upon re-reading it I kind of like it just the way it is. Despite the schmoop factor, which is relatively high. There's a warning for ya. It's S/B, very short, post-LMPTM, rated PG at the most, and I think we'll call it:

( NormalCollapse )

Today is the birthday of one of my favoritest people, fer1213! I'm so glad I had the chance to meet and spend time with you in Atlanta, and I wish for you a year full of all good things. Including book contracts. :-)

Here is a little ficlet for you, set in the Slow Motion verse (aka, the Ferverse). About 500 words, PG13-ish, un-beta'd.

Note: If anyone missed them and wants to read them in order, these fics start with Slow Motion, followed by Roman Holiday, and The Next Best Thing, and can be found here in my memories. But all you really need to know is that this is set in a post-NFA world in which Spike and Buffy are in a long distance relationship.

( What Will the Neighbors Think?Collapse )

Dear, Lori, I hope you have a wonderful day today, filled with friends and Champagne and Small Blonde Hugs. :-) And thank you so much for the pretty bundle of gifts! What a wonderful surprise that was.

But today you should be getting the gifts. As is tradition, I wrote Lori a bit of Giles/Anya fic. Just a ficlet, set in a future where Anya is alive and well and in a relationship with Giles, and there is magic in the air. Because that's the best kind of future.

Warnings: Unbeta'd. May contain schmoop and holiday themes. *g* Rated PG13.

( O Christmas TreeCollapse )

Cross-posted to lateseasonlove for the "Afterlife" challenge, which was to write a fill-in-the-blank fic which takes place during the episode and does not change canon.

Author: Cindy
Title: Kindred
Characters: Spike, Buffy
Rating: PG13
Length: 750 words
Summary: She wants to say something to him, tell him that it wasn't his fault. Tell him that it was meant to be, her death, and that her being here now is the real abomination. But the words don't come.
Disclaimer: The characters aren't mine, but Joss said I could play with them
A/N: Many thanks to the wonderful mommanerd, whose suggestions made this fic far better.


( KindredCollapse )

Is everybody sitting down? ;-) Not to be dramatic, but I have actually written B/A. Now, given my shipper obsession tendencies, you are probably all a little surprised. And to be sure, there are only a few scenarios where I can envision B/A, this being one of them. But this is an idea I have had for awhile, and when I saw that it was spiralleds birthday, I decided to give it a shot. She has read my S/B on occasion, after all. :-)

Just a ficlet, 800+ words, PG13, set post-NFA. Angsty, S/B-friendly B/A. Dashed off in an hour and un-betaed, so please let me know if you see any oopses. And remember, I've never written this pairing before - be gentle with me. ;-) I especially hope that spiralleds likes it, and that either way you have a wonderful birthday!

( HauntedCollapse )

Today is the birthday of two great ladies, the sweet jamalov29 and the sassy sp23! And I come bearing fic. This is a little bit of future fluff, several years post NFA, rated PG. I was inspired by this past week's open_on_sunday drabble challenge, but this has outgrown drabble status and turned into a ficlet. And Sandy, I would happily write about those boys you love so much of late, if I knew, um, anything about them. ;-) So I hope a little bit of Spike/Buffy will still be of interest.

Most importantly, a very Happy Birthday! to Caroline and Sandy.

( ReflectionsCollapse )



P.S. flurblewig and annapurna_2 I haven't forgotten about you. I have something started for both of you, but the above-mentioned plot bunny has interfered. I'll keep working on them, though. :-)

Today is molly_may's birthday! And I seemed to have missed _jems a few days ago. Poor _jems, I bet when your birthday is the day after Christmas it gets a bit lost in the shuffle. I wanted to write a drabble for each of you, but then I started writing and the drabble got away from me. So I hope the two of you don't mind sharing this more than a drabble, almost a ficlet. It's set, say, a few weeks post-NFA, rated PG13, and is called "Five Words or Less."


And finally, a very Happy Birthday to both of you!

( Five Words or LessCollapse )

Happy Birthday shaddyr! Shad hasn't been feeling too well as of late, but her predicament did inspire this ficlet. Just pretend you're Buffy while reading this, Shad - Spike is good medicine. :-) Hope you like it.

Warnings: Fluffy-ish Spuffy, set mid-season 6, unbeta'ed
