*peeks out* Does anybody remember me?

I hope you all had excellent holidays. My life since last posting has been full of various ups and downs. Cat died, had an experience almost close to romantic, had wonderful holidays, and, what you're all probably most interested in, wrote a new chapter of Sour Revenge. I experimented a little bit with this chapter, so I'm pretty nervous about it.

Some day, this series will be finished. Once that happens, I hope to write many stand-alones in loads of different fandoms. Also, I'm so going to create an icon journal. You have no idea how many icons I have waiting to be posted.

I predict three more chapters of this series, not including this. For a sane person, this might take about a week. But, since I'm me, who knows when I'll be done? Feedback will definitely encourage me to write faster, though. *g*

Resource post.

And now, the next installment of the reason over half of you have me friended: Sour Revenge. I know, the wait has been long and I should be shot for promising this would come earlier and not having it for months. Hopefully, you'll all think that this was worth the wait and refrain from shooting me until some later date.

I've finally got the rest of this all outlined, so if things all follow plan (I've learned not to make promises any more), this series should be done in four or five chapters.

Also, there may be an icon post coming from me in the not-too-distant future, in which there shall be Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Doctor Who, ABOF&L, House, and Jeeves & Wooster icons.

Right, I'll shut up now and post the story.

Firstly, I'd like everybody to notice the icon I'm using. It was made by authoressnebula as a Christmas pressie to me. She made me another sunglasses icon, a wonderful Sour Revenge header, and another icon to go with it! I can't wait to use them. *squeezes Neb to bits*

In other news, I'm really pleased with the response I got to the Jeeves/Wooster fic I posted. It did much better than I'd expected it to. All of these fics are getting such great responses and it's really fabulous. I'm extraordinarily pleased.

This is the last one of the batch. It's Spike/Xander, requested by lishel_fracrium who asked for, "season 4 or 5..but no anya..truth or dare with drunk scoobies..Xander's never kissed a guy. S/X." Hope this is what you had in mind, sweetie!

And, before I post the fic, I'd just like to make it known that I did not choose to post this today because of the neat pattern it'd make on my calendar. *whistles innocently*

*is a big loser*

Title: Truth or Dare
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 1499

( Spike! Truth or dare? )

Nope. Don't like this new update system one bit. Maybe I'll get used to it in time. *shrugs*

First ficlet is for kitsune_okashi who asked for: "BTVS, Giles/Xander, new spell book." Aaaand.... here it is!

Title: Giving

Summary: Xander gives Giles a gift.

Beta'd by: kitty_poker1 who has been well established as the best damn beta in the 'verse. *smooches her*

( And here's the fic! )

Short chapter this time. Life's been pretty busy lately and it probably will be for a while. I don't know when the next part is going to be. Don't expect it soon, because there is only a very small chance of that.

Title: Sour Revenge, Part 27

And to quickly refresh your memory:

Spike paused before leaving and looked at Xander. He had no idea what was going on in that head and every conversation he had with Xander just confused him and amazed him even more. This boy was surely something. "Bye," he said, smiling slightly before turning to leave. As he walked off the property, he listened as a door opened and Xander... squeaked?

"Oh, hi, Giles.... Been there long?"

Spike wasn't sure exactly how much Giles knew about him and Xander, but he decided it'd be best for him to be far away at this time. So, picking up his pace, he got himself the hell out of there.

Hey everyone! This is the second time I'm posting this. Last time I had to delete it because of some bad timing issues on my part. So, sorry if anybody was wondering what happened. Just me being slightly irresponsible.

So now, I bring to you Sour Revenge, part the twenty-fifth. Sorry for the long wait. I've been kind of in a creative blackhole and really haven't been in a writing mood. My muse randomly popped by for a short while to give me the inspiration to write this part and strangely left me again. =( I don't know when the next part will be out, but I'm hoping soon-ish. I kind of want to wind this story up so I can spend more time on my many other projects.

Anyway. Part Twenty Five:

Okay, guys. Here's the next chapter of SR. I know I said it'd come sooner, but I'm learning not to promise too much any more. I usually think that because I know what's going to happen, I'm going to write it quickly and easily. I've learned my lesson and from now on, I'm not going to promise anything, but I'll still try and get these parts out as quickly as I can. I know that the long wait between parts is making me lose readers and I really don't want that to keep happening.

I'm going to try to get SR 24 out before Wednesday, because I'm going away with my friends. I'm not sure how long exactly I'll be gone or if I'll have any access to computers. I could be gone anywhere between 3 to 6 weeks. I'm hoping it'll be sooner than later.

Also, after this post, I'm going to do a resource post for my icons. I seem to be making a lot of them lately and if I ever want to share them, I need to give credit where it's due.

I think that's it. I know I've been a bad LJer lately. I want you all to know that, while I'm not really commenting all that much, I *am* reading your posts.

*hugs* to you all and here's your fic!

I'm really, *really* sorry for the wait. I know I said that this would come quicker. In all honesty, I thought it would. I was going to write this and get it posted last weekend, except I lost my outline. I gave up on finding it a few days ago and tried to write what I thought was going to happen. I found the outline today, but I had already finished writing this part so there wasn't much I could do about it. Sorry.

Here's more of that unnamed 'verse I started. I'm trying to think of a name so I can stop referring it to the unnamed 'verse and create a section for it in my memories. But, until I can think of a more suitable name, I shall call it Howard and I shall be its Mummy.

So, now, Howard and I would like to present:

Backyard Blues
Author: Me, of course
Pairing: Spike/Xander (sort of)
Rating: PG (That is, if this were a movie and I had the appropriate rights.)
Feedback: If I don't get it, I won't know you're reading and won't have much inspiration to write any more.
Concrit: Very welcome in comments.
Disclaimer: Nothing is mine... Mutant Enemy... Joss Whedon... yadda yadda... don't sue.

Summary: Spike analyzes their situation and decides change should be made.

Warning: When the S/X factor kicks in, there'll be a bit of Daddy!Kink. If stuff like that squicks you, those parts will be appropriately labelled. This part has no incest.

A big 'thank you' to kitty_poker1 for beta'ing this.
