Title: Hiywan's Story
Author: stormwreath
Character: the First Slayer, before she was a Slayer

Summary: "I have no speech. No name. I live in the action of death. The blood-cry, the penetrating wound. I am destruction. Absolute. Alone." Hiywan's Story gives the First Slayer back her speech and her name, and allows us to hear about the beginning of her life-story in her own words for the first time.

Rating: 12
Wordcount: 24,274 in 8 chapters.
Notes: The story takes place in the Great Rift Valley of East Africa at the end of the Mesolithic Era (or Middle Stone Age), approximately 8-10,000 years ago. Obviously enough, all the characters (apart from the girl who will one day become the First Slayer) are therefore OCs. *g*

This link goes to an index page, which in turn links to each of the eight chapters and also contains a glossary of character names and background details that you can refer to if you need them.

Title: Mary Sue Got Harried
Author: Ozma914

Summary: A group of watchers and slayers taking a creative writing class are assigned a simple lesson in author intrusion. But nothing’s ever simple when magic is -- literally -- in the air. (Note: This is set in my fictional universe in which magical spells have helped heal Dana’s mind and the Buffybot’s body, and may also have had an effect on the resident ghost -- Tara. Things get a bit ... whimsical.)

Rating: PG-13 eventually, for character death. But don't panic.
Warnings: Extreme Mary Suism
Disclaimer: All characters who belong to Joss and co, belong to Joss and co.

Characters: Tara, Dana, Buffybot, Andrew, Xander; appearances by Giles, Willow and Kennedy, and some surprises. Also an original watcher who is absolutely not, in any way, the author, and an original slayer who has absolutely no connection to the author's daughter. Honest. Would I lie?

Thanks to the incomparable kazzy_cee for the wonderful banner she made just for this story!

Title: The Men's Auxiliary
Author: Maia
Rating: PG-13 for a lot of swearing.
Length: 1,178 words
Disclaimer: It's all OCs, but the 'verse belongs to Joss.

This is a story which I wrote after it occurred to me that a consequence of "Chosen" and so many Slayers is...a lot of boyfriends and husbands of Slayers.

It's an interesting gender reversal: since civilization began women have stayed home worrying while their men went to war.

It's set in a post-"Chosen" world.

AN: Written for

firefly_124 , and Brit-picker,

saracen77 . The Golem of Prague is an actual folktale that exists in varying versions, but I’ve taken even more liberties with it. Ne – no (Czech). Wer sind Sie? – Who are you? (German). [

saracen77 made me aware there’s a Discworld novel of the same name, but unfortunately I never read that far into the series, so there’s no Pratchett-like humor here.]

Title: Xander's Job
Author: Ozma914

Summary: Xander’s having a really great day. This being the Whedonverse, such a moment of happiness can’t possibly last ... and sure enough, the person he least wants to see shows up with some very bad news. Post "Chosen", and set in a world in which the slayers are settling into a secret Watcher's emergency facility in Chicago.

This story was supposed to be a one-shot, but got such a great response on fanfiction.net that I ended up expanding it into a 'round the world Journey that touches bases with just about everyone in the Buffy/Angel universe. (It *is* finished; I'm just spreading it out.) It's set just before my "Four Friends" stories.

Rating: PG
Warnings: emo mixed with humor. And Faith.
Disclaimer: I own practically nothing except my Mac and my Buffy comics.
Characters: Xander, almost everyone else from BtVS and Angel.

Many, many thanks to kazzy_cee for the special "Xander's Job" icons she made for this story! Thanks also to my original story beta, Ainon -- Xander's biggest fan.

Rating: PG13

AN: Written for

dawn_all_along. This fic explores what “Passion” might have been like if Dawn had been there. I’ve chosen not to repeat scenes from the episode itself but instead focused on what occurred ‘off camera.’ Humongous thanks to my beta,

firefly_124, for all of her help and a speedy turn around on this!

Summary: Outside, Angel surreptitiously stalked Buffy, determined to weaken her via attacks on friends and family. Inside the Summers’ home, Buffy tried to keep things ‘normal’ – bratty kid sister and all.

Gift of the Mage

by spikeNdru

Written for Between the Seasons Ficathon.

For

ruuger, who requested a Gen fic with Spike and Ethan. Spike goes to Ethan for something to numb the pain of Buffy's death. Story takes place between BtVS Seasons 5/6

Rating: PG-13

Length: 4004 words

Summary: Spike was devastated by Buffy’s death. How did he manage to pull it together to take care of Dawn and work with the Scoobies during the summer? Perhaps he had some help from a certain Chaos Mage?

Author's Note: Thanks so much to

makd for the usual excellent beta.

Title: Gifts
Author: Maia
Rating: G for the first few chapters; later chapters will be PG-13 for violence
Warnings: Multiple character deaths in later chapters
Characters: Dawn, William, Buffy, Giles, Xander, Willow, several original characters
Feedback: Yes, please!
Disclaimer: Everything except the original characters belongs to Joss

Author's Notes:
Gifts takes place in the future of an AU where Spike was resurrected as a human after dying in "Chosen" in 2003 (so the 5th season of AtS never happened).

After becoming human again, Spike went back to the name William, and did not contact any of the Scoobies.

Gifts begins five years later, when 22-year-old Dawn accidentally meets William-formerly-Spike in New York City, and learns the story of his first five years as a human. The story goes from there.

The plot revolves around the Key, and the question: is the Key too dangerous to be allowed to exist?

It's a Genfic story, and focuses on friendships and family relationships rather than romance. Buffy and William will get back together and get married, but their relationship will never be the main focus of the story.
