skip the light fandango

So, this is marenfic from Live Journal, and this is a fic archive.

This is primarily a collection of fiction featuring the Buffyverse, Battlestar Galactica, and BSG RPF/RPS. The bulk of this fic features het and femslash pairings, although there are rare instances of boyslash as well.

The characters and actors in my fiction are not owned by me. I do not profit from this fic.

Read the labels. Read the ratings. If you are not of legal age in your state/country/jurisdiction, you are NOT WELCOME to read fic that is rated R or higher. Don't, and if you do, you do so without my permission and against my intent.

Finally, this is all fiction, most especially the stories that feature characters loosely based on real people (actors). By writing RPF/RPS I am in no way intending to imply that the actors and people featured within are actually doing, have done, or are even contemplating doing the actions depicted within the fiction. That's why it's called fiction, and why I call it LIES. But they are lies with no intent to harm or be taken seriously. By the way, I'm not interested in your thoughts on Yaoi, so if you don't like RPF, skip right on by.



Thank you and good night :)

Rating: R
Pairing: Buffy/Angel
Summary: San Francisco seems like a good place for a fresh start.
Author’s Note: Title from Judy Garland’s San Francisco. I haven’t read the comics and have no idea if this fits with those or not. Consider it post-NFA just to be safe. Written for IWRY 2007 Marathon.
Thanks to redbrickrose for the beta. Also thanks to minim_calibre for the notes. You'll notice two different endings-- Hannah liked it one way and Min liked it the other, so I've included the alternate ending at the bottom for you as well :)

( Ordinary Day in an Extraordinary Life )

I start, and then never finish, a good amount of fic. Sometimes I don't finish because I get sidetracked by work and commitments and by the time I get back to it, I have no memory of where the hell I was going with it. Sometimes I don't finish because I get the evil writer's block. And sometimes I don't finish because I get jossed and don't know how to handle it (I love my BtVS canon closed, thank you). In cleaning up my hard drive I found two Kara/Leoben fic I started and then never finished for reasons of jossing and not knowing how to get from a sucky place to a not-sucky one. I'm going to put them here in my LJ just in case I ever feel a need to come back and revisit. There's another one, one that I planned to come back and rework into a post-Maelstrom fic, but of course I can't find that one anywhere and probably lost it when my home computer crashed. Woe.

Title: iv. sins of the father (part of Mind Fuck)
Author: Maren
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Rating: Adult
Warning: incestuous underovertones, daddy!kink, spanking
Author Note: You know that dirty Buffy/Connor I posted way back in July? And you know how I said it was part of this fic I was (am?) writing, Mind Fuck: Five Fantasies Buffy Never Had? Well, here's another part. It's out of chronological order, but I have absolutely no idea if I'll ever finish the whole thing (it's part ii-- a Buffy/Xander non-con fantasy-- that's giving me trouble) so I'm going ahead and posting this. For neverneverfic, who is probably even dirtier than I am *g*.
