Reality Bends to Desire

Hello to anyone still around to see this post!

Contrary to appearances, flaming_muse and I are still writing in this 'verse and in fact are nearing the end of a rather long story. In the meantime, there's this short fic.

Hello, Reality Bends readers! I have a new fic in the 'verse for you.

"Shades of Grey" - Spike/Wesley - NC-17, set after the RPG

Please read the warnings before the story begins if you are concerned about your personal triggers; it is a dark story for this 'verse.

Title: "Twenty-four Hours, One Conversation" 1/1
Author: flaming muse
Fandom: BtVS/AtS
Pairings: Spike/Wesley
Rating: R
Spoilers: all of Reality Bends (although nothing specific besides generally how it ends), plus "The Thought That Counts" and "First Chrismas."
Summary: So there's a new member of the Wyndam-Pryce/the Bloody household...
Disclaimers: The characters belong to Joss and various corporate Powers That Be. I make absolutely no profit from playing with them.
Distribution: Please ask.
Feedback makes my muse shake her groove thang!

I just posted a new fic in the reality_bends 'verse, set within the RB RPG canon, as it were. I hope you enjoy it!

Title: "A Process, not an Event"
Author: flaming muse
Pairings: Spike/Wesley
Rating: PG
Summary: Healing is a process and not an event.
Spoilers: all of reality_bends up to but not including the epilogue of the RPG, which goes AU from AtS 5x07, "Lineage"; set during the timeframe of the RPG between Vail's attack and the boys' move. If you haven't read RB or don't remember the details, what you need to know is ( Collapse ).

I posted a little dribble - it's not fleshed out enough to be considered even a ficlet - of Spike and Wes post-RPG over in my LJ. WG and I are working on a proper Reality Bends story (and I have at least two partially finished), but I thought I'd link to this as a little treat, even though it's more a sketch than anything.

"By Any Other Name," an R-rated Spike/Wesley fic set in the RB-verse about a month after their first Christmas together can be found in my LJ.

"Attraction", an NC-17 Spike/Wesley fic set in the RB-verse, can be found in my LJ.

"Wednesday Night," an NC-17 Spike/Wesley fic set after the end of the RPG can be found in my LJ.

Enjoy!

In a case of having a shared mind, wesleysgirl and I wrote each other for Christmas potentially reality_bends-verse Spike/Wes ficlets about the exact same subject.

They were posted in the order of her "First Christmas" and then my "The Thought That Counts," which I edited to fit in with hers, but they happen in the reverse chronological order. I think that you can read them in either direction.

Since we have officially decided that they are RB ficlets, they take place during the Christmas after the RPG ended.

A year to the day after wesleysgirl and I began this adventure as Wesley and Spike, we have now written our last tags in reality_bends. We do plan on writing short stories in this 'verse, which we'll announce in this community, but the RPG itself is at an end. It's been such an amazing experience, and we appreciate all of y'all reading along with us. We've been delighted and humbled by the lovely encouragement and feedback you've sent; it has been a real joy to write these characters for so long, and it's wonderful that they've grown to mean nearly as much to you as they do to us.

The RPG itself starts here, should you want to (re-)read it from the beginning.

And if you'd like to drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you. :)
