Characters/Pairing: Buffy/Spike with a few cameoes
Spoilers: Series.
Summary:Post series finale. Spike’s gone and Buffy’s seeing things.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Obviously.
A/N: Despite the fact that Buffy was my first fandom so many years ago, this is actually my first BtVS fic. Go figure. Anyway, this is my sappy-maudlin coda for what I think will always be my favorite show. It’s dedicated to mastermia, who made me smile because she wanted to read it.

( The second time she sees him she’s on patrol. Spin, swivel, stake, Spike. )

Summary: One month after the blast, Peter returns to find Claire.
Author’s Notes: Monumental thanks to truemyth and txtequilanights for being amazing betas, and for holding my hand as I walked directly into the special hell. Characters not mine. Obviously.

(  Claire Bennett couldn’t fly, and half the time it seemed like she was just about the only one. But when Peter Petrelli showed up in her living room alive and intact and so very clearly not blown to radioactive bits… well, she might have flown then. )

Summary: Obligatory post-finale smut.
Author’s Notes: Characters not mine. Obviously. Thanks so much to shizam23 for the beta!

( His hands turn one of her feet upward, and she realizes he’s checking to see if she’s got scars or calluses or any other sort of alteration from her impromptu dash across the coals. She does, but they’re not on her feet. )

Spoilers: S1, but nothing even remotely specific after that
Characters: Rose/Ten
Summary: Set sometime shortly after regeneration. Rose and the Doctor go out for chips.
Author’s Notes: Just a plot bunny I committed to paper in ficlet form. This is my first time dipping my writing toes into this particular fandom, so concrit (as ever) would be lovely.

(  Her eyes lift and she smiles, and he almost wishes she wouldn’t, but he can’t quite bring himself to do anything but smile back and ignore the tightly bound things that begin to uncurl. )

Summary: An angsty ficlet set immediately after Girl in the Fireplace.
Author’s Notes: Just rewatched GitF and needed a vent for the ensuing emo.

(  She concentrated on the pulsating sensation emanating through the material of her shirt, the way the cool surface of the wall felt beneath the palm of her hands – anything other than the look on the Doctor’s face when he came back to the TARDIS alone. )

( I opened the door. So. Not. Wallace. )

Word Count: 3,361
Spoilers: Um… this is an AU of my AU, which has a deviation point of 2x8. Yeah.
Characters: Logan/Veronica, a bunch of aliens
Summary: This is crack!fic to end all crack!fic. Logan and Veronica are getting a little too close to the truth during their investigation of the alien presence in Neptune. The aliens attempt to distract them.
Author’s Notes: Written for the loveathons Cupid Challenge. X-posted at veronicamarsfic. This is set in my This Alien Shore universe. It is AU from that fic, which is already AU – these events are not TAS “canon.” They will never happen in that fic’s actual plot progression. You may want to read the first chapter or so of that fic before reading this, but it certainly isn’t necessary to enjoying this one. Oh, and mad Trekkie shout-outs here. Behold my geekiness. Thanks to queen_haq and ladydisdain225 for the beta, and to lex_83 for the linguistic assistance!

( He was suddenly far too close, and Veronica attempted to lean back, to escape the heat radiating off of his body in waves. )

( He looked away, and she knew she should leave right then, walk out of the bathroom, go to Sheriff Lamb, tell him everything she knew, tell her father, go back to math class, take Backup for a walk, go to college, meet a nice boy majoring in Engineering, but instead she found herself grabbing the back of his neck and kissing him as though she would probably die from not doing so. )

Author’s Notes: Written for the 5thingsthat “Five Things That Never Happened” challenge. X-posted to veronicamarsfic.
