Summary
Her Spike is unbothered, either way. With tangled hands, he ignores the insistent future the stars try to lead him to, and gently sweeps his thumb across her knuckles. He purrs in her loose embrace. She wasn’t made to purr, but she hums something she knows he adores. Like sweet songbirds calling for one other.
----
Drusilla, Spike, and being loved.

Summary
Going limp, she mentally prepared herself to simply shut off her mind, to let them have their way, convince her why she should stay... But Spike simply crawled toward her feet, tugging at the jeans she’d only just put on, and Drusilla gathered her into a bony embrace.
“Oh, sunshine,” Dru cooed, in a tone that sounded so much like love Buffy thought she was going to be sick. “We can clear away the noise, for a time. There’s no need to be rushing out just yet.” And with a small grin that brought to mind a sort of fae, she told Buffy matter-of-factually, “Not a Tuesday.”
In response, Buffy buried her face in Dru’s neck, and the body beneath her wiggled, pleased.
----
Giving in, if only for a bit.

Summary
“Buff! You—! You’re a—!” Xander stammered. He was sweating through his clothes, his violent shaking even worse than her own. One hand was wrapped around the backdoor handle, ready to bolt out into the early morning sun at the slightest jerk toward him. He never once took his eyes off her. She could still smell the heady sting of his fear permeating the air around them, hear his thundering heart and feel the rhythm pulsing through her like a drumbeat. Her mouth watered beyond her will.
“Vampire,” Willow finished breathlessly.
And Buffy burst into tears.

Buffy gets unlucky one night on patrol. Not a one of them know what to do next, but that's not unusual for their lot, anyway. They'll figure it out.

Summary
“Can’t even vampire right,” Buffy voices this time, instead of just keeping it to herself, and he scowls.
“Piss off,” Spike snaps, now in a right little snit at her over the silent comparisons he was clearly hearing even when she did not say. Still, he stays staunchly seated, making no effort to leave despite his sudden mood. She wonders if rolling her eyes again would be too soon to have any effect.
And then, inexplicably, her vision turns blurry with tears — though literally nothing has happened — and rolling her eyes suddenly seems like the worst idea in the world.
----
Buffy tells Spike about her mom. They’re sort of kind to each other, as best as they can get.

Summary
though tara knows that’s an uncharitable take on how buffy’s been handling everything. she was just trying to make them feel better about the awful, awful thing they’d done, like they deserved to be mollified. she was trying to convince willow and xander in particular that she was still their buffy from before... the... fall. the resurrection.
you can’t mean that, tara says. you— you really want to forget? you’d let willow do that to you?
no, buffy amends quickly. I don’t. and I wouldn’t. I just... then she sighs, more than world weary. aching for a dimension she can’t reach anymore.
----
tara and buffy have a conversation about willow, xander, and if love is worth what it puts you through.

Summary
loosely connected fics all set in a universe I have simply dubbed as the bandillow au, in which almost everything is the same except for where buffy, willow, and xander's hearts lie.
I'm not so good at the writing thing, but I talk a lot more about my ideas in this tag on my tumblr, so if I manage to interest literally anyone, feel free to pursue.

Summary
Since his regeneration, things have been off between the Doctor and Rose. She keeps trying to convince herself that he's the same person, but her grief for her lost Doctor insists that they aren't. He managed so many miracles that despite how his regeneration should have been one more, she is still waiting. She doesn’t deserve it— she killed him— but still. She waits.
The Doctor doesn’t know how to convince her that he’s the same person, when he isn’t sure that he is himself. He feels disconnected from his ninth self in a way he never has before, unsure where it leaves him, or his relationship with Rose.
When an adventure goes wrong, Rose is abducted by a dragon, who makes no secret he intends to keep her. She feels an immediate connection to him (once she figures out that he isn’t going to eat her, of course). Beneath his prickly hide, he's sweet and sad, and reminds her so much of the Time Lord she still loves, and can’t let go of. Their bond grows as they ease each other’s grief.
Rose is torn between the three of them, her love for the TARDIS, and her ever worsening grief, as the gulf between her and the Doctor widens. Will they regain their common ground? How is Bad Wolf working in the background?

Summary
With a town as great as this, it’s easy to lose yourself in the fog of Miami’s night life. Everyone’s shed their inhibitions, slipping off the skin of polite society and letting their darker side slither out to play. Sweating out those angrier bits of life. All on the hunt to chase down their own hedonistic pleasure and feed it, satiate it, until there’s nothing left of it.
And of course, Rita is no exception. Except Rita was on the hunt for something darker to satiate her cravings. Something less carnal, but still just as primal. Something no amount of drugs, sex, and alcohol could hide the emptiness of.
