Stories All About Spuffy
Thank you for coming to visit! After a few years down, a revised version of Nocturnal Light is coming back online. It is work in progress as all of the stories have to be re-added, but slowly and surely, all stories previously available on Nocturnal Light will once again be published here. Note that as some stories were very long, they were broken down into several posts. Use the tag for the story to find all associated posts!
Spuffy Valentine’s Day fic, set in a kinder, gentler S6. Up to Once More, With Feeling.
Written for the Fall 2008 round of Seasonal Spuffy, and set in a very AU S6, where Buffy didn’t die.
Spoilers for “The Gift” and S6. Spike manages to save Dawn, but pays a terribly high price. Will he be able to find meaning in his suffering?
Set sometime in a possible post-Chosen/NFA future, Spike and Buffy have to navigate a world without apocalypses. It’s harder than you might think.
Set sometime after Tabula Rasa. With Giles’ departure, and her growing attraction to Spike, Buffy can’t resist the offer of answers to her questions, but will the answers be what she expects?
Set directly after the events of Same Time, Same Place. Buffy realizes that she’s probably left Spike in the basement for too long and hauls him out. Her attempts to get the First to stop tormenting him don’t go quite as planned, however. Then again, when do spells on the Hellmouth ever work right?
In the sequel to Collide, there are unexpected consequences to the ritual Buffy did to break the curse on Spike, Dawn is trying to figure out what it means to be the Key, and Willow is coming home. And that’s just the beginning.
What if that house-demolishing in Smashed was a metaphor with a different meaning than the writers gave it? What if that night marked a release of a different sort? Goes seriously AU immediately after Smashed , and makes reference to my short story, “The Promise I’m Keeping,” written for summer_of_spike.
Spike leaves after “Dead Things,” wanting nothing more than to get Buffy out of his head. Wesley’s still an independent contractor after the events of “Loyalty.” And the Slayer’s still living in the land of denial.
