Summary
"He felt like a rat dropped into a maze with a cocaine salt lick."
This story will follow Grissom and Sara's relationship, from San Francisco through Vegas to maybe Costa Rica and who knows, maybe back to Vegas! No casefile, just filling in all the juicy fun/heart-wrenching bits we know that CBS left out.

Summary
"Sara closes her eyes. She doesn’t want to be this way with him - sarcastic and cruel. She cares for him, respects him immensely. She wants to be friends with him. She wants to forgive him for not loving her the way she needed him too.
She wishes she were a better person than she is."
Sara and Grissom get Stranded in the Desert™ and avoid talking about feelings, find a nice rock to sit on, share some body heat and discuss sex on a picnic table. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
The Darkling's tent was large and ominous and quite a distance from the cartographer’s tent, but Alina ran to it, slamming up against the oprichniki at its entrance instead of a proper stop, breath thready and voice high with exertion.
"Please," she said between great lungfuls of dusty air. "I need to see the Darkling."
"You don't belong here, Shu bint."
The urgency running through Alina's very blood coiled around itself, an anger boiling in her veins that she pushed away, willing it not to dull the momentum of her singleminded mission.
"It's about the Fold," she breathed, frustrated, muscles singing with exertion. She pulled out one of her maps from the last month out from underneath her arm, shaking it in the face of the closest oprichniki.
"It's shrinking."Two months before Mal and Alina are charted for their journey across the Fold, Alina enlists the help of the Darkling when the Fold begins to shrink. One Shadow Summoner-- and a Sun Summoner who has practiced her power every night since youth underneath thin duvets.

Summary
Originally a standalone fic, the first installment has now spawned a trilogy because I've lost control of my life! Part 1 is a season 4 era slow burn; parts 2 and 3 explore AU versions of s5 and s6, respectively, where spuffy are in an established relationship throughout.
Parts 2 and 3 are planned/mostly written! Other fics in this universe, including missing scenes, bonus content, and possibly an AU s7 (but don't hold me to it) may be to come.

wouldn't it be nice? (in the kind of world where we belonged) by SummerFrost
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)

Summary
Spike is still beneath her, so hard he's vibrating, and a second ago she was living in this amazing, perfect, fresh piece of Dubble Bubble bubblegum world. A second ago, she loved him.
Or: The thing about Willow's will-be-done spell is that, yeah, obviously it sucks that it happened with Spike. But now that all those totally fake lovey-dovey feelings are gone, Buffy is starting to worry that she'll never get them back—with anyone. Too bad the only person who might understand is her mortal enemy.
