An Ordinary Life by Barb C
http://sleepingjaguars.com/2007/09/01/fic-an-ordinary-life/
Synopsis: One birth, one wedding, and one funeral.
Author’s notes: This story takes place in the same universe as “Raising In the Sun,” “Necessary Evils,” and “A Parliament of Monsters.” It was inspired by a poll I saw somewhere about what kinds of stories people like. Someone (I’m afraid I can’t remember who, but if anyone knows, I’ll happily give them inspiration credit) said something to the effect that the only kind of story they couldn’t read were stories where Buffy and Spike get married and have babies, and the story is about their ordinary life. That stuck with me, and so…

An Ordinary Life by Barb C
http://sleepingjaguars.com/2007/09/01/fic-an-ordinary-life/
Synopsis: One birth, one wedding, and one funeral.
Author’s notes: This story takes place in the same universe as “Raising In the Sun,” “Necessary Evils,” and “A Parliament of Monsters.” It was inspired by a poll I saw somewhere about what kinds of stories people like. Someone (I’m afraid I can’t remember who, but if anyone knows, I’ll happily give them inspiration credit) said something to the effect that the only kind of story they couldn’t read were stories where Buffy and Spike get married and have babies, and the story is about their ordinary life. That stuck with me, and so…
Buffy and Spike get married and have babies. This is their ordinary life.

Date: 2007-09-10 01:37 pm (UTC)If you'll ever find time to read something from this list, I recommend you to start with Kallysten's works. She's a magnificent writer who has started writing Buffyverse fiction very long ago. Then she has stopped writing fics and switched to professional novels. But it seems she can't get rid of that sweet obsession :)

Date: 2007-09-12 10:29 pm (UTC)Thanks! I know that it's just a tiny bit of all BtVS fanfiction. Sometimes I discover a great author I never heard of before.
BTW, is Alia on LJ? Just read her two stories, and they are just so well done.
I tried to find her traces on LJ and IJ but unsuccessfully. I suppose she's a private person. Curiously, her both stories take part in earlier seasons, and I hope she'll delve into later seasons stuff in her next fic.

Date: 2007-09-14 10:24 pm (UTC)Я сейчас сижу и думаю - а что, если переписать второй сезон с Дон, Эндрю и Джонатаном? И даже с Уорреном. И спарить его с Эми за десять лет до канона. И влюбить Эндрю в Ксандера. И подружить Джонатана с Дон. И пусть они закажут Уоррену Ксандербота и Донбота, и получится много-много конфуза. :)
Если придумаю какую-то хорошую мотивировку для Спайка, чтобы он с самого начала стал Баффкиным союзником поневоле - буду писать.
Обрати внимание на автора Alia. Она роскошно переписала 4 сезон (Nimbus). Сейчас начала переписывать второй, но застряла.

Date: 2007-09-15 05:50 am (UTC)Мне, естественно, особенно нравится "Баффкиным союзником поневоле":))))
