1. Just Fine by jnharrow [Reviews - 3] (2526 words)
Author's Note: Warnings - Not sure what the rating will be yet, I suppose I should AO it just in case, but here's forewarning that I may chicken out, since I've never written anything explicit before. It could end up an R. So don't read just for smut, because there may be none and I'd hate to disappoint :) This chapter is probably PG-13.


As far as other warnings go, there is angst, because without it I'd have no story. There will probably be bad language. Definitely Spike/Other, Spike/Dru and probably Buffy/Other and who knows who all will show up in flashbacks, can't tell at present. As to whether it'll be explicit, see above. If you can't stand that, please don't read this, because it won't make you happy. The vague warnings are because I'm not entirely sure where the story's going yet, as this is my first Spuffy story and I'll admit that I haven't outlined everything clearly. I'm kind of wandering around letting it tell itself, so I'm trying to cover all the bases on warnings 'just in case'.


It'll end up spuffy in the end, because that's how it should be (in my mind). The other pairings are just because I need a little something with which to make a story and Spuffy jealousy is something I enjoy reading. Don't ask why, I've no clue! I've run out of such stories to read, so I'm writing one.


Um, what else...thoughts are in single quotes. They were italicized, but I'm too lazy to go back in and do the html tags. Hopefully, it'll still be readable.


If anyone actually does read this and wonders about an update schedule, I'm not sure how fast I'll be writing yet, and an additional factor is how much my favorite authors write. I'm glued to a bunch of WIPs and the recent dearth of updates is what has prompted this. Darn people who have lives in the summer! Write, darn you, write! (er, just kidding, of course, I enjoy your stories and will continue to enjoy them no matter how long it is between updates).


Hope you like it. Pleeeease don't be upset at the /Other pairings, because, well, I warned you, "Here be dragons." Read at your own risk :)

2. Tossing and Turning by jnharrow [Reviews - 5] (1664 words)
Same stuff. Had this written, so I thought I'd post it too. Still fiddling with the posting stuff here, so please bear with me if I get something wrong.

3. All Wrong by jnharrow [Reviews - 6] (1916 words)
*cowers a little* Ok, this is all I have written at the moment. Please excuse any hasty editing mistakes. I got my first review and didn't want to leave ochit duzon hanging.

4. Wings and Sympathy by jnharrow [Reviews - 7] (1472 words)
Sorry, I know my "Spike-speak" is inconsistent. I saw a couple places in the prior chapters I posted that I messed up and forgot to Spike-ify it. Still new at this and I keep forgetting! Oops. I'll try to do better with at least being consistent on what I do change. Actually, I think I'm going to give up and opt for actual words and let you imagine in the accent, for the most part :) Writing in a different dialect is not my forte. Hope this makes you understand Spike a little more. I think I was the only one feeling at all sorry for him :)

5. Shopping Therapy by jnharrow [Reviews - 4] (1558 words)
Another short one. Sorry, they keep coming out that way. Lighter in tone, so a welcome little break from the angst.

6. Poetic Penance by jnharrow [Reviews - 4] (1927 words)
Sorry, no fistfights in this chapter. Just verbal lashings.


Minor edit here: Drat, forgot to credit the poem fragment. It's from The Sorrow of Love by W.B. Yeats

7. Revelations at the Opera by jnharrow [Reviews - 8] (2226 words)
Ok now, no throwing furniture at me for this chapter. Maybe a soft, upholstered footstool would be ok. That wouldn't hurt too much. Nothing truly horrible happens. Note: I don't know if the LA opera projects the English translations above the stage because they don't mention it on their site. I know some opera houses do this. Let's pretend they do! Oh and thank you again Kat, I did a find for "jack" before posting. LOL.

8. Misunderstandings and Misgivings by jnharrow [Reviews - 6] (2230 words)
Dawn gives up on subtlety and opts for brute force.

9. Talking by jnharrow [Reviews - 7] (2222 words)
Thanks very much to Katkin for looking this chapter over for me. I was worried about gaping plot holes!

Note: I did some minor tweaking because I wasn't happy with the beginning of this chapter. Still not terribly happy, but it's a little better, I think. Nothing worth a reread.

10. The 'We Hate Spike' Club by jnharrow [Reviews - 4] (1707 words)
Ok, it's short, but I'm a little happier with this chapter than the last one. Hope you like it.

11. More Apologies by jnharrow [Reviews - 7] (1376 words)
This chapter is super short, sorry, but it was a good place to end it and seemed complete, so here it is.

Note 2.0 - Got some valid criticism about the whole thing being too quick and I was unhappy with the pace too, so I added a couple things. The talking about Melanie just would *not* obediently write itself, that's why it came out all forced. So it was a really annoying chapter to write. Hopefully, it sucks a little less now.

12. Taken by jnharrow [Reviews - 11] (2647 words)
Ack! I forgot to thank Katkin for looking this over. Thank you!
