Title: Ninety-Nine Moments in a Life that Isn't Hers (and one that is)
Claim: Buffy Summers/Malcolm Reynolds
Fandom: BtVS/Firefly Spoilers for Serenity
Pairing: Buffy/Mal
Prompt: Teammates
Word count: 1,036
Rating: PG
Author's notes: Written for crossovers100. I'm going to end up doing this as one long, connected series of ficlets/drabbles under one title and probably will wait to post the majority until it's done as I will move different ficlets around to where I want them. But in the meantime, another teaser.

Author's notes: Written for crossovers100. I'm going to end up doing this as one long, connected series of ficlets/drabbles under one title. I will post a few here and there as teasers but probably will wait to post the majority until it's done as I will move different ficlets around to where I want them. I've written 10 already but they're very scattered in order. I thought I'd give a "teaser" for twinkledru since it may be a while before I post the entire thing.

( 1. Beginning (somewhere in the middle) )

Yesterday entrenous88 asked for good B/A and in my attempts to be helpful to her and also to start organizing the rec page on my website, I thought I'd post some of my favorite B/A fics. This list is not comprehensive and there is some bias towards B/A that I think non-B/A'ers would like (so no tangofic and indiefic human AU, much as I love it).

So many more to come.

Title: Spoon
Author: Maren
Pairing: B/A

Summary: It's too early in the reunion for company.
Author Note: This is PWP, straight-up birthday porn written for a2zmom. Very much unbeta'd. Read at your own risk and feel free to point out typos :)

Title: Girl Talk
Author: Maren
Pairing: Buffy/Nina
Rating: Adult
Disclaimer: Not mine, no profit, no infringement intended.
Words: 2840
Summary: Buffy has no idea that Nina came to Cabo with hopes of making love on the beach. Set during and after the events of NFA.
Author's Note: Written for southernbangel for fandom_charity. Lee asked for B/A/N, post-NFA, on the beach with booze, flirting, minimal angst and sex. Angel isn't necessarily physically present although he's a spectre. We never heard Angel name Buffy to Nina on-screen so I made the assumption that he never told Nina his "Roman friend's" name. Unbeta'ed-- all mistakes are mine. Con crit always deeply appreciated.

Vacation? You know that word? Go to Cabo, drink margaritas, midnight skinny-dipping, making love on the beach.

Threesome: Buffy/Wes/Gunn
Summary: Alternate S7BtVS/S4AtS PWP
Author Note: Written for viciouswishes for the Sandwich Ficathon. Thanks to atrata, sweptawaybayou and cornerofmadness for the helpful beta work. They assure me that even though this is my first attempt at m/m, it doesn't quite cross over into badfic territory. Also, very special thanks and hugs to southernbangel for her beta work on the first draft and for her endless (though sort of mocking and mean) support as I bitched about how *hard* this fic was.

Title: At Night Series IV: The Night is My Companion
Author: Maren
Pairing: Buffy/Cordelia
Rating: 13+
Summary:At Night is a series of Buffy/Cordelia ficlets that gives little peeks into a post-Chosen relationship between Buffy and Cordy by showing flashes of the nights they spend together. This series is AU where Cordelia wakes up from her coma in Angel Season 5 and stays awake. Buffy is in New York. The rest of the story unfolds in glimpses.
Author's Note: Written for the Lyrical Ficathon, run by dknightshade. The lyrics I was given were from Sarah McLachlan's "Possession"-- "The night is my companion, solitude my guide".

Thanks to southernbangel for the beta, especially since I sent it to her before I ran a spell-check. Ack!

Title: Mirror
Author: Maren
Pairing: Buffy/Nina
Rating: NC-17
Summary: She has a part of Angel you will never have.
Author Notes: Inspired by the B/N/S fic by flurblewig and dedicated to Nina-lover doyle_sb4. This is my first time writing in second-person, a pov I know many people hate but it was necessary for the effect I was going for in this fic (which is which?) so I went with it. Un-beta'd, so any critiques will be appreciated.
