Here we go again:

Welcome to the Works In Progress Thread, Part Four!

This is the place to put links to updates for WIPs you’re following and think others would also enjoy. If you have something new to rec, please provide a link, a short summary, and a rating (e.g. PG, R, NC-17), and indicate whether the fic is slash or het.

The following is a list of the WIPs currently being followed by various S’cubies, the better to keep track of what y’all are reading; latest update link is included in the listing. I’ve included all stories for which I could find reasonably helpful information, rec’d in the past month:

Thanks Rachael!

The Liz Marcs' link goes to part 35 so clearly I haven't been keeping up.

Here is the link to her memories through the most recent part: Part 38 of "Facing the Heart in Darkness."

try this

And the most recent 3 parts have been doozies.

Xander in Africa and a cast of O.C.s who are absolutely wonderful, don't let the "OC" part put you off.

(I guess you'll have to copy and paste. I don't know why the link doesn't copy fully or how to fix it.)

ETA: Modified by Rachael to make the link work.

(Gulp) Several of thos have been finished, I think.

I need to check.

In any case, "The Last Days of Rome" in a chapter with a lot of girls, one of whom is useful:

Julia, great stuff, this story, believe me

Mr Word, Mrs Word, all the little Words, their goldfish Word and their great-aunt Florence Corthingale (maiden name: Word) heartily agree with you.

No- entirely my fault. Have been overly involved in real life of late, and shorting my attention to keeping things current, as a result.

Julia, physical reality has a way of showing up some times

Herself has updated TUStTAMoP with Chapter 19, where Spike has the strange experience of being way too wanted:

~~TUStTAMOP~~ Blue-eyed Boy is up to chapter 19, which herself has called the penultimate. Buffy visits the 15th floor:

"The Last Days of Rome" shambles it's affectionate way through a reconstructed BtVS s6, now up to an entirely other "Seeing Red:"

"Things We Never Talk About" and Xander walks a tightrope between dreams and not-dreams.

A reminder: this is an AU BtVS s3, where Xander was infected with an aspect of the demon; it's now up past "Dopplegangerland."

Julia, and moving strongly

New fic by an author who is new to LiveJournal. Strong character voices, with some very believable interaction between Spike and Dawn that I would have loved to have seen in S7. The first six chapters have been posted so far, with more to follow soon.

"Hollow Heroes" by Boschette
Pairing/Character: Spike, Buffy, Dawn; Spike/Buffy
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Because Spike's worth saving.
Spoilers: Potentially through Season 7.

Chapter One
Chapter Two
Chapter Three
Chapter Four
Chapter Five
Chapter Six
