Ficlet: Pie or Death

Going to Comic-Con in a couple of days! Wish me luck! Tell me if you'll be there so we can hook up — in the "friends-only" kind of way.

In the meantime, I wrote a little fic for the Awesome Ladies Ficathon! Woo hoo! But, because I always want to edit things — which you can't do with a comment-fic — I'm putting it up here instead of there.

Title: Pie or Death
Fandoms: BtVS/Pushing Daisies
Characters: Drusilla and Ned
Rating: PG
Word Count: 460
Author’s Quickie Synopsis of Pushing Daisies: When Ned the Pie Maker touches dead things, they return to life — until he touches them again. Sad experience led him to discover that if the thing resurrected stayed alive for more than one minute, a living thing nearby would promptly drop dead, thereby retaining the balance of life and death.
Summary: Someone out there likes daisies. And pie.

( Near closing one night, an odd woman came into The Pie Hole. )

Fic: Fire in the Soul (3/?)

New today! Another chapter of my set in San Francisco story/travelogue! NOT comics compliant.

Title: Fire in the Soul (3/?)
Author: Rebcake
Rating: PG13
Word count: 4150
Pairing: Spike/Buffy, but also a bit Dru-ish
A/N: Beta’d by

snickfic, and reviewed by MiAmor. Some photos contained herein are copyrighted as noted.
Summary: A few years after Sunnydale’s spectacular demise, Buffy and her crew are getting on with their lives in San Francisco. A not entirely unwelcome blast from her past (Spike! It's Spike!) blows into town, but he’s brought more than the generally allowable amount of baggage with him.

Previously:
Chapter 1 on LJ / Chapter 1 on DW — In which a "chance" encounter leads to strong language and less-than-adult behavior. Also: animal magnetism.
Chapter 2a on LJ / Chapter 2a on DW — In which Dawn makes her feelings known and Buffy tries not to.
Chapter 2bc on LJ / Chapter 2bc on DW— In which Buffy gets on with her Sunday, which naturally ends up being weird.

New:
Chapter 3 — In which reports are made, scents are smelled, and sights are seen, pleasant and otherwise. Click here to read on LJ.

( It turned out the earthquake wasn’t that big a deal... )

Too Yule for School

Yesterday was my noel_of_spike posting day, so naturally I've been busy writing Christmas fic about...Dollhouse? Thanks muse. Thanks a lot. I suspect it's because I made a blanket statement that I didn't think I'd ever write in any fandom but Buffy. It's such a contrarian muse. (Little bitch.)

It all worked out, though, so I've got two new seasonal fics to share with you!

Title: The Gift of the Techno-Magi
Author: Rebcake
Rating: PG13
Word Count: 875
Characters: Joel Mynor of “Bouncy the Rat” fame, Adelle DeWitt
A/N: A bit of background for the Dollhouse episode Man on the Street.

Joel Mynor had more or less got used to being a rich widower...

Title: Yule Be Sorry (The Great Hunt of 1998)
Author: Rebcake
Rating: PG13
Word Count: 1,200
Characters: Spike, Drusilla, and the Chaos Demon

Dru was a good Catholic girl, but traveling around in the 1960s and ‘70s had made her curious about alternative spirituality and other such rot...

Caveat: neither of the above are especially cheerful. I blame my minor cold, because it couldn't be my evil brain, could it?

Wasn't the solstice/full moon/lunar eclipse neat? You don't stay up that late? People! It's been almost 400 years since the last time! Tsk.

In other Yule news, I have made 30 dozen pecan cookies, and a batch of star-shaped shortbread for a favorite kid with severe nut allergies. Today, I am looking at making another 20 dozen cookies, hitting the post office (won't that be fun?), wrapping gifts and packing up to leave for glamorous Oxnard tomorrow for a long Xmas weekend with my delightful in-laws. Or staying in bed with a box of tissues.

Author: Rebcake
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1400
Pairing: Spike/Dru

Warnings: Disneyness
A/N: Written for the May 2009

seasonal_sd. Can be seen as a prequel/sequel to my drabble Home Sweet Home, but you need not read it for this to make sense.

( It was impossible to not be aware of the latest, greatest attraction in North America )

A couple things plus ... Fic: Voodoo Chile

First I want to wish Happy Birthday! Good Health! Happiness! to

sockmonkeyhere, whose birthday it might not be, since the little minx doesn't post that particular tidbit anymore. I also want to take this opportunity to beg her, again, to give us more In Dreams. Chapter 11 just won't leave my head, what with the the Willow jumping to an Angel/Oz conclusion, and Angel clumsily hacking out a "miss ya" e-mail to Nina. (I recc'ed it at

buffyversetop5, and I'd do it again, in a heartbeat.) It's great stuff, Socky! We haven't forgotten!

Second, is anybody else having the weird LJ userpic swap? A couple of times, I've had userpics just turn into something else. For instance, earlier this week, my homemade Spike/Dru icon turned into Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen is a fine entertainer and all, but I DON'T HAVE ANY OF HER ICONS! The first time it happened, I ended up with little collegiate cartoons of beer, instead of my usual cakes and Spike, so I changed my password. But then it happened again, and now I'm feeling tech challenged. How does this dad-blamed thing work?

Third, I'm a little nervous about posting this fic, as it didn't go where I intended. Not the era, not the style, not the content. It was supposed to be a 100-word drabble about lighting a cigarette. However, I am sick of not posting anything, so I'm gonna chance it. I'm just not sure if anybody will think it's interesting. It's another historical, but hardly what you'd call ancient history. If you disagree with that assessment, may I just say: Hey! Watch it!

Feedback appreciated.
