it was such a powerful, passionate thing for both of them. it was an important part of their lives. i think that it would be a shame if they just never interacted again. i’d hope that they would find a way to rebuild some kind of relationship - eric osborne (insp)

I still stand by my stance that I thoroughly believe Stranger Things should have taken place in North Carolina. The Duffer Brothers are literally from Durham, North Carolina and make references to this state in many ways. And I understand they liked the general community and small town atmosphere of a midwestern state. However, NC is littered with small rural towns. The rural vs urban divide is intense. I also think with the usage of the Satanic Panic in season 4 would really have fit the tone of the evangelical south in the 1980s. For reference my entire family is from North Carolina and South Carolina. Trends in the 1970s-1990s moved aggressively slow and our communities are close knit. My father’s family comes from a town of 1,000 and they just got a Walmart in 2013. We have abandoned residences, random brutalist labs and structures out in the county, trailer parks, and tiny high schools. Oh and maybe I’m the only one who caught onto this. But the characters are really southern coded. The Wheelers? Karen reads as the former debutant/beauty pageant mom who is a Reaganite Republican (yes I know the Reagan part is canon.) Hopper reminds me of people from Laurinburg, NC or Marlboro County, SC (which are 30 minutes apart and perhaps I’m bias cause my grandma comes from that general area.) Dr Brenner has major Richmond/ Chesapeake Virginia vibes. Type of old man to drive his black 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380 SLC around the backroads.
#why does everyone leave NC out of the regional gothic southern gothic and sci-fi genre#I mean the book/film where the crawdads sing is NC and Blue Velvet is Lumberton NC#stop leaving us out!!#also this is so stupid I know#also no I don’t take criticism#stranger things#stranger things season 4#st 4#stranger things s4#duffer brothers#I live near the North Carolina and South Carolina border for reference#rambling

Top 10 Spuffy fics I’ve read (Sept 2023)
A Game of Getting Caught by EllieRose101 [NC-17]
The eternal question: What is the most powerful force in the universe? Buffy's denial, Spike's need to prove her wrong, or Xander's pig-headedness? (Set in a world in which Riley doesn’t visit Sunnydale in Season Six, so the Spuffy sexcapades continue––and so do the close calls of almost getting caught by the Scoobies.)
The Bad Penny by OffYourBird [R]
Six years ago, Buffy made a home in a new dimension with a Spike who defied every rule to be by her side. Now it’s time to put to rest unfinished business in her original dimension. However, a visit there quickly turns apocalyptic, and at the heart of it is the two vampires who set Buffy's original journey in motion, and both of them have a lot of explaining to do.
Best Wishes by bookishy, Dusty, Grief Counseling, ashcrashed, MaggieLaFey, womanaction [R]
Well Hell's Bells! It's a Sunnydale style wedding! You know what that means: things are going to go very very smoothly.
Binding Effects by simmony [R]
What was supposed to be a simple truth spell takes a dark turn when Buffy can suddenly read Spike’s feelings—and he hers.
Future Happiness by EllieRose101 [R]
High School is over and Angel is gone, leaving Buffy worried about what lies ahead. At least until Willow tries to help. (Set in the summer between Seasons Three and Four. Mostly.)
The Future is Ours by DarkEternity96 [NC-17]
What if in mid-Season 4, Spike demands another spell from Willow, in a last-ditch attempt to get Dru back… but rather than having her cast a typical love spell, Spike wants to travel forward in time, to experience the future Drusilla claims she ‘sees’, and prove to her that there is bugger all between him and the Slayer.
Cue the spell going awry, and S4 Spike being trapped in the body of his future self, in the very unexpected world of Season 6.
And you can only imagine Spike’s utter shock when a lust-fuelled Buffy turns up at his door…
Night Swimming by Geliot99 [R]
An unexpected heatwave in mid-March is reason enough for an impromptu pool party for the Scoobies. But when Richard takes a second stab* at winning Buffy's affections, Spike is all too keen to show her how much fun night swimming with a vampire can really be…
*see what I did there?
Set between 'Older and Far Away' and 'As You Were'
Right Where You Left Me by acekoomboom [R]
Buffy is a newer ghost, as far as ghosts go, and she can't move on. She sits in the corner she haunts, right where he left her, waiting for him to return. Time moves differently for the dead.
Haunted Diner AU.
Taste and Temptation by RavenLove12 [NC-17]
For a sticky sweet, tasty treat: Take one stressed-out Slayer, add one snarky vampire, place in an empty house and mix well. Bake on high and top with whipped cream.
Thing of Doom by Sunalso [Adult Only]
AtS S5. Things go a little off canon in Destiny and Buffy ends up with a whole lot more than she bargained for. Human? Demon? What makes Spike who he is and what’s a girl to do with the love of her life when he’s double the trouble?

Two different arches, two different upland burrowing crayfish, locally common in non turbulent spray cliff communities. The variability of red coloration through the gorge is increadible. Cambarus dubius is found in Ky, Tn, Va, Nc, Pa and Wv. The species is assumed to be a very difficult species to diliniate into its respected subsp. and is associated with site range specific species complex. In WV it is S4 and S3 in Ny. Its global rank will decrease once we have division in taxa. A good paper to read is 2010 ecology of Cambarus dubius Zj loughman et. al.

Welcome back to Spangel Saturday! This one is a little late in the day, sorry about that. We're contiuning with another fic rec! Every Saturday leading up to the start of the marathon, I rec a Spangel fic (probably an older and less well known fic).
For this week's rec, we have: To Take You In by anonymous.
Summary: "My take on a familiar theme: Spike goes to Angel instead of Buffy after "The Initiative.""
Rating: NC-17
Content notes: Contains explicit sexual content, adult language, depictions of past torture, some blood, injury, bloodplay, first person POV (Angel's POV), AtS S1/BtVS S4.
Why: Gonna be honest, I'm a bit biased as "Spike goes to Angel for help after the chip" is one of my favorite Spangel setups. This fic really showcases the boys' history with each other, and their bond. Angel's POV is also really well done.

Title: Cin Vhetin
Pairing: Armorer x Bo-Katan Kryze
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: ~3000
Warnings: Vaginal fingering, sorta public sexual activity, wlw, religious trauma
Notes: Cin vhetin, from Mandoa.org, means "the erasing of a person's past when they become Mandalorian, and that they will only be judged by what they do from that point onwards", which is kind of what I think the producers are going for this season for Bo-Katan. I gave up religion a long time ago, so I can't tell you who is worthy of redemption/forgiveness. All I can offer is what I felt and knew during that time of my life with a smattering of smut.
Here, Bo-Katan finds comfort in musing on the meaning of cin vhetin and whether she has regained her soul after her rebirth in the mines of Mandalore. Impulsively, she seeks comfort with one of the few people she believes still see her as a Mandalorian warrior.
Light S4:E5/Ch 21 spoilers.
🕮 My Masterlist Here 🕮
The stairs sink into murky darkness. Vizsla heads down, each footstep steady, as if he has walked this path many times before. He offers no conversation as he leads her down the multitude of pathways. At long last, they come to a doorway. He leaves her there and shuffles away without another word. The sound of his heavy footsteps die away, leaving them alone in the small space.
Armorer is standing next to a dusty, cobweb covered forge. Bo-Katan stands at attention at the doorway, waiting for an order.
Armorer's gloved hands are spread across the lip of the workspace. It's a scene Bo-Katan has seen far too many times in her years - cold, empty forges and silence where there was once song. Sometimes she had come across groups of Mandalorians, lost and mourning, as they huddled around the cold hearth. Sometimes, like now, it was just the armorer who had survived, both no longer having a Tribe to serve. But most of the time, it was alone. Standing long after its attendants had fled or been killed. Like the Great Forge on Mandalore, it was the only thing that remained of the people who had once lived in its light.
Armorer's head is bowed, while the rest of her body is tense.
Bo-Katan wonders how many souls had been given and departed in this very room. Did Armorer remember them all? Or did time steal those names from her, the same way they had stolen hers?
"This was once the Forge of our covert. I have been to the Great Forge on Mandalore."
"I remember the Forge well," Bo-Katan responds quietly.
She remembers it at its greatest, abuzz with activity. She remembers the careful choreograph of a hundred armorers working together in perfect harmony. What she would not give to see it again as she had seen it as a young girl! Bo-Katan remembers some of the faces of the regular attendants, but not their names. Even more fleeting were the ones who only visited to pay tribute and to carry its flame back home. All Mandalorians were welcomed to take solace in its warmth and light. All were equal in its presence, no matter what their race, religion, or social status were. Together, they were beautiful and strong.
She had also seen the Great Forge at its quietest, buried in rubble and stripped of its beskar like the fallen warriors surrounding it. Every Mandalorian old enough to remember the Great Forge remembers when it fell, its walls breached and its armorers slaughtered. When the Great Forge stopped, it was as if her own heart stopped beating that day. Now, her heart calls out for a song that she will likely never hear again in her lifetime.
"It was large and ornate, and the air rang with the music of a hundred hammers," Armorer continues wistfully. "And here stood a simple one. Yet, they were both forges. They served the same purpose."
The Great Forge might have been the heart of Mandalore, but it was the smaller Forges that carried its song across the stars. Entire generations of warriors have gone marching far, far away from the living, taking the stories and memories of the Great Forge with them. These smaller Forges are all that remain of the mighty heart of Mandalore, fractured and scattered like grains of sand in the wind.
Armorer turns to her.
"Remove your helmet."
Bo-Katan stares at her in surprise. She's spent months with her helmet on, wondering if she'd ever feel sunlight on her face again, terrified she'd be alone again. And now - Armorer wants her to take it off?
"But - " she starts to say.
"Do you respect my station?" Armorer asks.
"I do," Bo-Katan says.
Who wouldn't respect their armorer?
"Remove your helmet," Armorer repeats, her tone shifting into something indescribable.
Obediently, Bo-Katan raises her hands and lifts her helmet off. She's sure she's a hot mess after combat, but the cool air feels delightful on her sweaty skin. As she gazes into the Armorer's black visor, she feels naked, as if her soul is being judged. She contemplates the sins of her past and wonders if she's even worthy of being judged by such a magnificent being.
"Our people have strayed from The Way, and it is not enough for a few to walk it. We must walk it together."
Together . If they come together, will they hear the song of the Great Forge again? She doesn't dare hope that she'll have a hand in bringing that back to their people.
"This is the way," Bo-Katan says automatically, uncertainly.
"We must walk The Way together. All Mandalorians."
"I understand," she says.
The uncertainty grows, yet she understands.
"I was taught that the mythosaur existed only in legends, and yet, you saw it. It is a sign that the next age is upon us. Mandalore must all come together. You have walked both worlds. You are the one who can unite us."
The uncertainty is stronger than before. Bo-Katan remembers hearing the stories as well. But she had not been worthy of wielding the Darksaber all those years ago when it was gifted to her. Her rash, impulsive, selfish behavior was what led Mandalore to its downfall. She betrayed her sister, her own flesh and blood, for selfish ambition and greed. She had lost her heart, soul, and faith the day the Great Forge went silent. For many years, she has gone through the motions, placing one foot in front of the other without regard to The Way, simply acting like a Mandalorian.
She hadn't intended on being reborn when she saved Din Djarin from drowning. In fact, reclaiming her soul as a Mandalorian had been the last thing on her mind. But now…the hope of becoming whole once more…it is almost more than she can bear.
She recognizes that her rebirth wipes away the sins of her past life, but to claim cin vhetin right now would be an insult to The Way, and to all those who died by her hand and her ineptitude. She has not earned her redemption. Far from it - it doesn't matter how deep the living waters go, or how quickly they flow - there is simply too much blood on her hands.
But for today and tomorrow, and the days that follow, she can try to bring some light back to Mandalore and the Mando'ade. They deserve so much better than living in fear, than being devoured one Tribe at a time by the maw of the Empire and its allies. They deserve the hope of hearing the song of the Great Forge one day.
In that moment, Bo-Katan resolves herself to act like a Mandalorian. To be the woman Armorer thinks she can be. To be like Armorer. Each time Bo-Katan looks at her, she knows the other woman walks each step deliberately, with the utmost reverence for The Way. The emptiness within grows - how could this magnificent warrior have any measure of faith in someone as broken as her?
Bo-Katan inhales and gnaws on her lower lip.
She doesn't want to deal with the state of her soul right now. It will lead to another discussion, and Armorer will probably tell her "this is The Way" in that infuriating tone to end the conversation when she's had enough. Bo-Katan knows she will probably stay up way too late thinking about it and lose another night of sleep. But…Armorer seems to know what to say, and when.
She knows when to give an order, and she knows when to let her subordinates figure things out . It's one of the things she admires most. She walks the path between leadership and spiritual healing brilliantly, in perfect harmony. She has found the balance between peace and war, confidence and humility.
Bo-Katan lifts a hand absently to cover her karta beskar. That knowledge brings fire to her heart once more. She hasn't felt like this in so many years. She feels alive.
Bo-Katan closes her eyes, inhaling, remembering the sheer thrill of the hunt.
The ease with which her comrades fought and moved together, two dozen Mandalorian hearts beating as one. She remembers seeing the blood dripping off her hammer. Watching the brutal efficiency in each calculated swing as she silenced her enemies. If asked, Bo-Katan would say she's familiar with the Armorer, or about as much as anyone of Tribe Nevarro could be with their leader. She's spent many nights listening to Armorer dispense advice and tell stories of their greatest warriors. She's sparred with the other woman, both physically and verbally.
Something has been simmering inside of her for weeks now, reaching closer and closer to bubbling over. Knowing that there is someone in this galaxy who has faith in her, who respects her, who considers her worthy …it's more than she can handle. And now, as Armorer shifts her weight from one foot to the other, she finds her eyes drawn to her backside.
Fuck.
The chances of her fucking this up are astronomical, but she can't help herself. She's too impulsive, too rash - her father's words echo harshly in her mind, but she pushes them away. For the first time in decades, she understands shereshoy, and she knows she cannot let this moment slip by. She'll regret it for the rest of her life, and that list is already far too long for one woman's lifespan.
Swallowing the knot of anxiety in her throat away, Bo-Katan puts her helmet down on an abandoned crate. Armorer lifts her head to look at her. She throws caution to the wind and advances aggressively. Armorer takes a half-step back and she continues to advance until their bodies are separated by a mere handspan. She reaches out with one hand, hovering just over Armorer's forearm, as she looks up at Armorer's visor imploringly.
She can hear Armorer's breathing through her modulator. Slowly, she lowers her hand. She can feel the hard muscles underneath through their gloves. She swallows and looks back up. Her fingers trail up her arm.
"Please," Bo-Katan whispers. "Touch me?"
Show me I am worthy of you.
Armorer does not hesitate, fanning the flames higher with each little touch. Bo-Katan can feel the sheer strength in her hands, so very carefully restrained. Her hands work greedily to move her leather apron up higher around her waist. Bo-Katan works one glove off and stuffs it into her pocket.
One hand guides her back against the Forge while she pushes her thigh between Armorer's legs. She gets her pants unbuttoned and starts to push them down around her thighs. Bo-Katan wriggles her fingers down. Bo-Katan is momentarily surprised by the scraps of lace cupping Armorer's vulva.
"Never took you for the type to wear lace, Armorer," Bo-Katan whispers against her shoulder.
"Sabriye," Armorer returns. "My name is Sabriye."
Bo-Katan gives her a questioning look. Armorer leans forward to press her helmet against her forehead.
"I think you ought to know my name, considering the intentions you appear to have toward my person," she says, her voice as infuriatingly calm as ever.
"Does anyone here else know your name?" Bo-Katan asks casually, her thumb brushing up against Sabriye's clit. She sighs with pleasure.
"No," Sabriye says. " Their advances were rejected."
"Mmm," Bo-Katan purrs into her audial. "Lucky me."
She's soaked. Bo-Katan spends a few moments stroking her before parting her folds, using her middle finger to tease her slit. Sabriye's fingers dig into Bo-Katan's shoulders as she squirms and pants. Bo-Katan closes her eyes, biting down on her lower lip as Sabriye writhes in her arms, like she hasn't been touched in years.
Bo-Katan strokes again before trapping her swollen clit between her fingers and squeezing lightly. Armorer's head falls back and she moans . Her hips buck up against her hand. Bo-Katan dares to peek up and sees the tiniest sliver of the forbidden. Wet heat jolts in her belly at the sight of Sabriye's skin.
Saliva pools in her mouth at the thought of biting her, tasting her. She makes up her mind. She can't stop herself. Bo-Katan finds Sabriye's entrance - soaked, clenching hungrily at the tips of her fingers as her hips undulate. Bo-Katan cups one hand around Armorer's waist, pinning her in place, to keep her from squirming too much.
Bo-Katan starts to sink two fingers into Sabriye's sweltering heat. At the same time, she leans in and bites down on Sabriye's exposed neck. A sharp cry of pleasure escapes her. It's the most beautiful thing Bo-Katan has heard in her life.
Bo-Katan closes her eyes and bites again, this time gentler, using her tongue to soothe away the discomfort her teeth have undoubtedly caused. Sabriye smells like something floral and gunpowder. She shivers as she pumps her fingers in and out slowly, relishing the way Sabriye's walls squeeze tight around her fingers.
Gods, she'd fucking kill to be back at the Covert right now. She could imagine just how gorgeous Sabriye would look, spread out on the bed. Knees parted, cunt slick and ready to be licked. Bo-Katan shivers in delight at the thought of being down on her knees in front of her.
"Your helmet," Bo-Katan whispers against her helmet, scissoring and twisting her fingers. "Lift it. Just an inch. I'll close my eyes. Promise."
For a moment, she's not sure if Sabriye had heard her, or if she'll even respond.
"Close your eyes," Sabriye says firmly. Bo-Katan obeys, and she hears the hiss of her helmet lifting up.
Bo-Katan leans in and presses her lips to hers, her hand rising from her hip to cup the back of her head. She devours the other woman, smothering her little moans with her mouth. She tastes so good, like peppermint and something vaguely spicy. It's intoxicating. Bo-Katan dares to slide a third finger into Sabriye and she earns herself another choked cry. Fuck . Bo-Katan's ready to cum and she hasn't even touched herself - she's just been standing here with her legs clenched together.
"I-I'm close," Sabriye slurs into her mouth.
Bo-Katan silences her next words with another kiss, grinding the heel of her hand into Sabriye's clit, maintaining her steady pace. With a choked inhalation, Sabriye peaks, coating Bo-Katan's palm in another gush of wetness. Her walls squeeze tightly around her fingers, almost painfully, as she shudders to completion around her. Bo-Katan presses little kisses to her lips until she stops clenching around her.
Bo-Katan buries her face into Sabriye's shoulder and slowly pulls her fingers out.
"Am I good to open my eyes?" she asks.
She hears a quiet hiss as Sabriye's helmet repressurizes.
"You may," she says.
Bo-Katan takes a moment to observe her fingers, wet and shiny with Sabriye's pleasure. She smirks at her lover and sucks her fingers clean. Then she wipes her hand on her pants and puts her glove back on. The next beat of silence is tense, though Bo-Katan can't tell if it's sexual tension or awkwardness.
"An alor should not be romantically involved with one of their own," she says at long last. She sounds uncertain. It stings, but Bo-Katan had figured it wouldn't be long term or permanent. She decides to crack a joke to lighten the mood.
"I just took my helmet off," Bo-Katan quips. "I'm technically not Mandalorian anymore, remember?"
Armorer gives her a long look. Bo-Katan feels like she said the wrong thing. Like usual.
Shit .
The moments tick by, and she starts to worry her lip with her teeth again.
"Mandalorians are like beskar," Sabriye says at long last. "We are a combination of iron and kyber. Iron can bend, yet once it reaches its limits, it deforms, and will always bear those scars. Kyber is hard, yet it will shatter with the lightest blow from a hammer. Only time can reform kyber."
Bo-Katan watches, unsure what she means.
"Together, iron and kyber become beskar," Sabriye continues. "It is more resilient, flexible, and stronger than its constituents." She turns back to the forge and places her palms on it once more, as if trying to will the flame back to life. "When we are born, or when our souls are given to us, our families pledge to guide us through life according to the Resol'nare until we are of age. These six acts are what makes us Mandalorian, nothing more and nothing less."
Oh.
"So, keeping ones' helmet on…"
" - is one of many rules that our Death Watch predecessors made up to ensure secrecy."
"To protect the organization and ensure anonymity in the field," Bo-Katan says bitterly.
How fitting. A former member of Death Watch turned Nite Owl and a Child of the Watch, standing together, musing on what it means to be Mandalorian. For so long, Bo-Katan has sneered down on those following the old ways, and yet, here she is now, practically on her knees for one of them. For the chance to live again. She's been wrong about so many things before in her life. She's been too proud to admit it. But now…here, in front of Sabriye, she understands what her pride has cost her and their people.
It hurts. So, so badly.
"Why would we pledge ourselves to something if we are simply going to look for a way out of our obligations?" Sabriye asks, and Bo-Katan finally understands. She puts her hand on Sabriye's. The other woman looks at her. She can feel Sabriye's exhaustion, but there is no part of her wavering under the burden she carries.
"The diversity of our people is what makes us strong," Bo-Katan finishes quietly. "You do not need to change your beliefs, and neither do I. We can still be strong together, even if we are as different as iron and kyber."
Sabriye nods.
"One step at a time, in perfect balance, as we walk that blade's edge," Bo-Katan says softly. "Together?"
Sabriye nods, and then she sighs. She sounds as if she is carrying the weight of the entire Tribe upon her shoulders. Bo-Katan will be proud if she can ease that burden, even slightly.
"Together," she says quietly. She looks up at her. "There is more than one way to walk The Path," Sabriye says. "And I was foolish to think otherwise."
Bo-Katan says nothing. Instead, she squeezes Sabriye's hand, a silent promise to support her decisions and follow her leadership. She carries her helmet under her arm as they exit the silent foundry. She gives the Forge one last lingering look. Maybe one day, in many years, another Mandalorian family will stumble upon this dusty old Forge, and they will know the song that it once sang.

Also, I used Bo throughout writing this because I didn't want to have to write it out each time. Then at the end, I went through and replaced all instances of "Bo" with "Bo-Katan", which inadvertently led to hilarious results. I've gone through twice and caught a few mistakes, but if there are any left over, please let me know. :)

I was told to ask you about recs for Bangelus fictions. And also I say hi and that your page is great!
Hi, Anon! Welcome!
I managed to dig up my old Bangelus recs, which you'll find below. In addition to those, I would recommend:
Hurricane Season by girlpire
and also looking for Bangelus works by calenlily and AmorousGreen
-Grace
---
Ah, Bangelus. So wrong. So hot. So right? ;)
Given that it’s Angelus, this is dark stuff, so please remember to check ratings and warnings before reading!
The all-time classic of Bangelus stories is Leni’s Courting Sin. Set in BtVS Season 2, beginning post-Passion. Rated R. (And in looking up this link, I’ve just discovered there’s a lot more of this than I realized! I’ve only read the first chapter through the IWRY Marathon. Yay, more reading for me!)
Another personal favorite is Maren’s Elysian Dream. This is ridiculously, scorchingly hot. Set in an altered version of the AtS Season 4 episode Orpheus. Rated NC-17.
Not for the faint of heart is D.L. LePage’s Salvaging the Emptiness. Set in BtVS S7/AtS S4. This one is quite…operatic. But hot. (And NOT Scooby-friendly, just FYI!) Rated NC-17.
Another worth checking out is Chrislee’s Sacrifice, set in AtS Season 3. It’s a compelling mix of Angel and Angelus fighting for control. Rated Explicit.
I also like Mia’s The Space In Between, in which Buffy tortures Angelus with love! (Well, it sounds kind of silly when I put it like that, but it’s actually Very Sexy.) Unrated, but smutty.
There was a great Bangelus story posted last year that sadly seems to have been deleted. If anyone has a link that still works for KC Blossom’s The Closest Thing to Crazy, I’d love to have it.
I don’t think I would call this Bangelus, but one of the best recent fics to tackle the Buffy/Angelus dynamic is @mrsgordo84’s First Love. This is The First playing Angelus (and Angel), but it’s got an incredibly good take on all of the characters involved. Rated Teen & Up.
Finally, and it’s probably tacky to mention my own stuff, but I just posted a Bangelus fic called to kill this girl, you have to love her. I think it’s kinda hot? Rated Explicit.

zoe,maya, manny for the ask game <3
Sexuality Headcanon: she's canonically a lesbian
Gender Headcanon: I don’t hate the idea of trans!zoe, but she’s cis in my eyes.
A ship I have with said character: Rasha, Maya, & Esme
A BROTP I have with said character: Miles, Grace, Winston, Goldi, Zig, and lowkey Tiny because I think there was potential
A NOTP I have with said character: Zoe/men obviously. Zoe/Drew is the worst tho since she was 15 and he was 18 (I love Drew but…this was not a good storyline for him). But also Gracevas doesn’t do it for me personally. I love my Gracevas moots tho. Also Zoe & Tristan as friends until NC S3-4.
A random headcanon: Zoe, Miles, Tristan, Goldi, Rasha, and Grace all gather together for the holidays.
General Opinion over said character: I love her a lot and I’m really happy seeing her grow as a person over the past six seasons.
Sexuality Headcanon: bi. As much as I dislike Emmanny most of the time, there are definitely bi vibes there.
Gender Headcanon: cis (I’m boring ik lol)
A ship I have with said character: Jay, Ellie, Liberty, s5 Cranny
A BROTP I have with said character: Liberty, Darcy even though she treated Manny like trash and Manny was a saint for staying best friends with her, JT, Toby
A NOTP I have with said character: Cranny, JTanny, Mick/Manny, Panny (yes I’ve seen people Peter and Manny), and etc.
A random headcanon: She had her bi awakening in Hollywood post s8 and pre s9. Also she married Jay in DTM and now they have a daughter named Aurora.
General Opinion over said character: My bitch always. Manny Santos has done nothing wrong ever.
Sexuality Headcanon: 🎶bi bi bi🎶
Gender Headcanon: cis but I don’t hate the hc of Maya being trans.
A ship I have with said character: Zig, Miles (sorry Ashton!), Cam, Tori, Zoe (I ship Maya with basically everyone)
A BROTP I have with said character: Tori, Tristan in s11-12 & NC s4, Grace, Jonah, Tiny (I wish they interacted more), Zig (I love them as a couple but they’re good as friends too), Miles, Zoe
A NOTP I have with said character: Maya & Tristan as a brotp at times
A random headcanon: A lot (and some are Zaya related lol), but Maya has her bi awakening during college.
General Opinion over said character: I love her and I don’t trust her haters.

Idk if this has been asked before, but what’s your favorite Zaya moment for each season (s11-nc s4)?
That's so hard!
Season 11: Their first meeting
Season 12: Zig promising to wait for Maya
Season 13: The end of Close to Me (I know it's controversial because of what Zig actually says, but that chemistry. Maya wants to believe she's all in with Miles and that Zig is just a friend, but she can't take her eyes off Zig and very subtly starts to lean in when he pulls away)
Season 14: This is impossible to answer and it's more like a three way tie, but the big kiss in Maya's kitchen
NC season 1: Their second time, because how could it be anything else?
NC season 2: As bittersweet as it is, Maya telling Zig that currently, she doesn't feel ready to get back together
NC season 3: Zig trying to get Maya to open up to him in the hallway, leading to her impulsively kissing him
NC season 4: The tent scene. In some ways, this is actually my #1 moment of any season. It's just the turning point. It's what allows them to be endgame. It's basically the acknowledgment from Zig after several episodes of his feelings being ambiguous that after all this time, it still comes back to Maya for him. And she's so affected by his words, too.

Spuffy style Reading Challenge - #26: Ready & Go Reading Challenge
A fic set in the woods:
Promise of Frost by Eurydice [NC-17]
When a snowstorm strands Buffy and Spike, they are forced to turn to each other for strength, especially when a missing Giles, mysterious visitors, and way too much magic threatens to turn it into a not so very merry Christmas. Set mid-S4.
A fic involving a creative outlet:
Chiaroscuro by OffYourBird [R]
At first, Buffy wasn’t even sure it was him. He was all the way across the gallery, far enough that he was reduced to chiaroscuro in motion—a shock of white hair swathed in rich black leather, his eyes dark and glittering and his skin nearly ivory in the bright gallery lights.
A fic featuring food you have not tried:
Hunger by Sunalso [NC-17]
AU. Spike killed his third Slayer, but Dru was already dust. He's been lost, but when his supper turns out to be more than he bargained for, it leaves him hungry for something else instead. And Buffy? She's just hungry.
A fic involving a train ride:
Vernalagnia by violettathepiratequeen [G]
Vernalagnia: A romantic mood brought on by spring. One that even Angel doesn't dare try to get in the middle of.
A graphic novel:
D-straction Day: All Night Long by HappyWhenItRains [Adult Only]
COMIC: Buffy stops by the crypt to see if Spike wants to go patrolling.
He does not.
A fic involving ghosts:
Wine-Colored by OffYourBird [NC-17]
There are so many shades of red, but Buffy sticks to the one she knows best.
A fic set on a bus:
A Place to Call Home by all_choseny [NC-17]
Buffy and Spike have beaten The First, and the Hellmouth is closed for good. Now, at the precipice of a new beginning, the pair must decide to finally give love a chance or walk away from each other for good.
A fic where a main character seeks self-improvement:
Reprise by Holly [NC-17]
Spike came back to life and didn’t bother to tell her. Then he died again before she could chew him out. Buffy makes a wish in front of the right kind of demon to set things right and finds herself propelled back to the darkest period of her life.
A fic featuring a (motor)bike ride:
Open Road by HappyWhenItRains [NC-17]
Life Serial takes Buffy and Spike some places neither of them ever expected to go. We, of course, expected it. They did not.
A fic set in or involving something industrial (factory, etc.):
Death Wish by Sigyn [NC-17]
“World is what it is. We fight and we die. Wishing doesn't change that. You can believe in a better world. I have to live in this one.”
Anyanka’s wish was broken, but the world it created continues. Now Buffy must join forces with rebel vampires to create a world they can all stand to live in. But can Spike, Drusilla and Angel actually work with a hardened slayer, who would just as soon see them all dust?
A fic involving a plane ride:
Nevertime by anaross [R]
They lost. But they lived. Spike, Blue, and Angel head north to the Arctic to escape the demons set loose in Not Fade Away. (Don't worry... Buffy finds them.)
A fic set in a snow land:
West of the Moon, East of the Sun by KnifeEdge [NC-17]
I keep having the strangest dream. Every night it's the same thing: a dark room, a big bed, and a silent vampire that I can feel, but not see. I'd be wigged, except it's just a dream, right? It'll be a cold day in hell before I ever willingly sleep with a vampire again...
A fic set in a country other than your own:
Favor by EllieRose101 [NC-17]
Spike asks an impossible thing of Buffy––and is stunned when she says yes. Could he really have gone up in her estimation?
A fic featuring a garden:
Unspoken by anaross [R]
"I've always envisioned him giving Buffy a garden that he could never go to in the daytime, to give her something alive for a change." James Marsters.
A fic set in a museum:
Just to Reach You by Sunalso [R]
Post-Series. Spike and Buffy have been a couple for almost two years. The honeymoon is over and together they're discovering they still have a lot to learn about themselves, each other, and how this whole "normal" relationship thing works.
A fic set in a hotel:
A Totally Random Occurrence by Herself [NC-17]
The stake slipped from her fingers, and she had to take a deep breath to stave off the dizziness descending on her like a hood over her head. "You—I thought you were dead." A reunion in New York City. Set post-NFA, spoilers for all of BtVS and AtS.
A fic involving an escape:
The Writing on the Wall by Holly [NC-17]
There was no body to bury. There was no funeral. There was nothing but the three rules and the knowledge that a thousand years of torment was nothing compared to a world without her in it. Spike embarks on a journey through the Gates of Hell to rescue the one he loves, but in order to save her, he must risk losing himself.
A fic set underground or underwater:
Ten Minutes by FlightsofFancy [R]
Buffy, alone, looking for Oz in the Initiative.
She only has ten minutes.
She finds someone else.
Life of a hero, impossible odds.
A fic involving a road trip:
Ties to the World by honeygirl51885 [NC-17]
Spike is gone, but before he went out in a blaze of glory, he slipped a letter into Buffy’s pocket. That letter takes her on a road trip across America, visiting his ties to the world.
