Spuffy style Reading Challenge - #28: Alphabet Soup Challenge #2
A:
At Ease by The Danish Bird [NC-17]
Even with her eyes closed, Buffy would recognise this place in a second, and for a moment she wondered if she truly had ended up in a hell dimension this time. One that had doomed her to an eternity of Doublemeat Palace workdays. Buffy felt her lips moving, heard her own voice speaking, and as she opened her eyes she decided that a hell dimension definitely wasn’t ruled out just yet.
“Welcome to the Doublemeat Palace, how may I help – “ She stared into Riley’s scarred face as she completed her sentence. “– you.”
Her mom, Sunnydale, her home, Spike – There are many things Buffy misses in her life, but if she had gotten the choice to revisit a day that had already passed, this would so not be it!
B:
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.
C:
Christmas Date by bewildered [NC-17]
Christmas Eve in Cleveland, 2004.
Holiday request from Dark. Squeaking it in for the end of the Christmas Season. (It's only the 9th day of Christmas! That counts!)
D:
Drive by Holly [NC-17]
Freshly turned and very grumpy about it, Buffy finds herself in a weird place. One where her friends smell like food, her former mortal enemy smells like heaven, and the so-called love of her life has made it clear that killing her is on his to-do list. Throw in some overly zealous army guys and this is not Buffy's idea of a party. So she and Spike decide to hit the road at least long enough to figure out why neither of them can hit anything else. And since they're both single and free, well, Buffy wouldn't say no to a distraction from the never-ending laugh riot that is her life. And Spike can be very, very distracting.
Good thing soulless vampires can't fall in love or she might be in trouble.
E:
Embers by Dusty [NC-17]
Spike's the best boyfriend. He fulfills all of Buffy's fantasies. All of them.
F:
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?
G:
Golden Hour by kennedynoelle [R]
Response to a challenge set by emilise: Spike never came to Sunnydale during the first few seasons. The first time Buffy sees him is during The Harsh Light of Day, sunbathing on campus adorned with the Gem of Amara. Oh no, she thinks, the pit of her stomach dropping and sending tinglies all over, he's hot. They start dating, Buffy unaware that her new boyfriend is a member of the undead. Of course, she has to find out eventually…
H:
The Halloween Series by spike_spetslayer [NC-17]
Buffy and Spike make an unbreakable pact during their first real confrontation in Season 2. Story includes spoilers from season 2 through season 7.
I:
If I Loved You Less by MillennialCryBaby [NC-17]
How long had Spike been gone? 147 days. 148 at midnight. Except maybe today won't count?
J:
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.
K:
Kaleidoscope by Lirazel [PG-13]
"Can you tell me, is this love that I'm seeing?" One by one, the people in Buffy and Spike's lives try to add up the obvious.
L:
Let it Burn! by Axell [Adult Only]
Her eyes followed the blood. Summers blood. She counted the drops. Ten. Then it stopped.
If Dawn dies, I’m through. I don’t want to live in a world if these are the choices. Slowly, her head rose up. Their eyes met. Green and amber. A look passed between them then a nod. Her own voice echoed into her mind. I’m counting on you. To avenge her. Us.
He made a promise. Until dusk will swallow them all.
M:
Melting Fire by Freecat [R]
Set right after Dead Things.
The night after, all he wants is talk.
The night after, there’s nothing she wants less than talking.
And suddenly they find themselves in another dimension; one that Buffy can’t leave. There’s only one way to get her out. A way with consequences.
N:
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'
O:
One Step Away by violettathepiratequeen [PG]
Spike knows the way she dances. Not even Faith in Buffy's body can fool him.
P:
Pardon My French by Girlytek [R]
In retrospect, it was probably a bad idea to let Buffy perform a spell in French. Begins at No Place Like Home.
Q:
Quake by Holly [NC-17]
Following Tutor. Riley's kiss did nothing for her, which clearly means her night with Spike didn't take. But since the world is probably ending, Buffy decides one more lesson couldn't hurt.
R:
Rock Solid by Passion4Spike [NC-17]
Buffy comes to some realizations about herself, the nature of her love, and her feelings for Spike on the eve of the biggest fight of her life, but will it be too little, too late? Spoiler Alert: No, it won’t.
S:
Something Blue's Clues by cawthraven [PG-13]
Willow is just fed up with the way Buffy and Spike act around each other. What are they, five?
T:
Timelines,Schmimelines by bookishy [NC-17]
When Buffy’s sent back to her first year of college to retrieve an artifact for the future, she ends up on the day of the first inaugural Christmas Party at Casa del Xander.
Or, time travel meets its greatest match, and that match is alcohol.
U:
Under The Influence by NautiBitz [NC-17]
A few nights after their engagement spell, Buffy has to watch Spike. Problem is, a psychedelic demon may have just spritzed her with a mind-altering substance. Will Spike seize the moment? Or will they just end up naked? HMMM.
V:
Vampire In Charcoal by Geliot99 [NC-17]
Hiring out her mother's art gallery for classes had been a stroke of genius, but when the life model for the upcoming class comes down with the flu and an extremely unsuitable replacement is found last minute, Buffy is faced with a lot more of her nemesis than she was ever anticipating.
W:
where the shadow ends by disco-tea [R]
For 147 days, Spike and Dawn grieve Buffy.
This is a story of a vampire and a Key who try to cope with the loss of the one person who meant the most to them…and how they became a family along the way.
X:
Xerox by Holly [R]
Spike and Buffy leave Angel a parting gift.
Y:
You Learn by bramcrackers [Adult Only]
When Buffy learns about Angel’s history with Drusilla, she can’t ignore how he seems to keep everything about his past to himself unless forced. How can she love someone she doesn’t even know?
A trip to a local mage later, she’s plunged headfirst into Angel’s entire sordid history in a series of visions. And dealing with all of that would have been a hell of a lot easier if Spike hadn’t somehow been pulled into it, happy to add the color commentary.
Z:
Zero by kantayra [NC-17]
Trapped together in an icy prison, Buffy and Spike find one way to turn up the heat.

TSC Creators Masterpost: Fan Arts
To make it easier for everyone to search for a specific content creator, I have decided to create a master post where you can find the links to the tag of every user we have ever reblogged on this tumblr. I will also try to include their old usernames so that people can look for their older works as well. Since we can't post more than a # of links in one post, I wil create a post for each of our four categories of creators: edits and gifs, fan arts, fan fictions, headcanons and theories.
FAN ARTS - You can tag us under your art by using @tsccreatorsnet or the tag #tsccreatenet. You can also submit a link to your post through DM.

Diabloceratops eatoni
By Jack Wood
Etymology: Devil Horned Face
First Described By: Kirkland et al., 2010
Classification: Dinosauromorpha, Dinosauriformes, Dracohors, Dinosauria, Ornithischia, Genasauria, Neornithischia, Cerapoda, Marginocephalia, Ceratopsia, Neoceratopsia, Coronosauria, Ceratopsoidea, Ceratopsidae, Centrosaurinae?
Status: Extinct
Time and Place: Between 81 and 79 million years ago, in the Campanian of the Late Cretaceous
Diabloceratops is known from the lower and middle members of the Wahweap Formation of Utah
Physical Description: Diabloceratops is one of the most completely visually distinctive Ceratopsids - like all members of this very samey group, its body was the same as the rest of them, but its head was distinctive enough to give it a famous name. Like other Ceratopsids, Diabloceratops had four squat legs, a thick torso, and a short tail. It had a long head, with a large crest and a giant beak in the front of its snout, as well as teeth well built for chewing. The interesting thing about this Ceratopsid is that, while it has small brow horns like most early members of this group, it also had two very noticeable horns coming out of its frills - curving away from each other, the left one curving out to the left and the right one curving out to the right. This gave Diabloceratops the very distinctive look of… well, the Christian depiction of Satan. Hence its name, Devil Horned Face! It had a lightly built skull, with a hole seen in earlier Ceratopsians than the later Ceratopsids, and its head was shorter and deeper than later members. The frill of Diabloceratops was kind of weird too - very tall and narrow, rather than wider as in later Ceratopsians. Diabloceratops was primarily scaly all over, though it is possible (especially given how early derived it was) that it had quills or feathery fluff on its tail like earlier Ceratopsians. It was probably about 5.5 meters long from head to tail.
By Nix, CC BY-NC 4.0
Diet: As a Ceratopsid, Diabloceratops probably fed primarily on plants, though it is possible that it supplemented its diet with meat from time to time for protein. It would focus on low-lying and medium-level plant material, less than a meter in height.
By Franz Anthony
Behavior: The frill and fancy spikes of Diabloceratops would have been primarily used in sexual display and other types of communication between members of the herd, especially since they were rather small all things considered. That being said, other Ceratopsians would use these features for defense, and it is thus likely that Diabloceratops did too, even though they didn’t evolve for such a purpose. Diabloceratops, like other Ceratopsians, would have been a very social animal, spending most of its life in herds with socially complex behavior. These herds would have aided Diabloceratops in defending itself from the local predator Lythronax, and any other predatory animals that may have attempted to attack it. Like other dinosaurs, Diabloceratops probably would have taken care of its young, and the social group would have aided it in doing so. Being a large herbivore with deadly weapons on its face, Diabloceratops would have been a very aggressive animal, not trusting anything that got too close to it or its family. It is possible that Diabloceratops herds also migrated too and from the Western Interior Seaway, based on the seasonal rainfall.
By Sam Stanton
Ecosystem: The Wahweap Formation is one of the earliest environments we know of from the charismatic and iconic Late Cretaceous North American faunas - those ecosystems from the Campanian and Maastrichtian which featured Ceratopsians, Hadrosaurs, and Ankylosaurs a plenty, all being preyed upon by terrifying Tyrannosaurs. Weirdly enough, this unique makeup of these ecosystems is unique to North America - while Hadrosaurs could be found elsewhere somewhat, both Tyrannosaurs and Ceratopsids were very rare elsewhere, Ceratopsids especially so. Instead, the world was frequented with many other kinds of large predatory dinosaurs (especially Abelisaurids), and Titanosaurs were some of the most common large herbivores. But I am getting off track - the Wahweap Formation is one of the earliest of these charismatic locations, and as expected, it has some of the earliest members of these groups to branch off, including Diabloceratops. The Wahweap Formation began as a very dry ecosystem, filled with sand and very brief wet seasons; over time, it became a pond ecosystem and - by the time Diabloceratops disappeared - a very fertile system of rivers running in from the Western Interior Seaway.
By Nathan E. Rogers, used with permission from Studio 252Mya
So, in the time of the earliest part of the formation, Diabloceratops was a living in an extremely seasonally varied environment, as it began to transition to more freshwater being present in later millenia from its earlier dry beginnings. The diversity of the later environments, however, was lacking in the earliest one. Here, Diabloceratops was preyed upon by Lythronax, and while some mammals, turtles, and crocodylomorphs were present, it is entirely possible that the great diversity of mammals and other animals to be found later wasn’t present quite yet. In the middle environment, when the ponds were coming in and things were getting more lush, Lythronax was gone - but now Diabloceratops was accompanied by the Hadrosaur Acristavus, similar to the later Maiasaura. There were many non-dinosaurs too, like turtles, though it is uncertain if the many mammals found in Wahweap are from the middle, lower, or upper parts of this environment.
By Nix, CC BY-NC 4.0
Interestingly enough, one of Diabloceratops’ closest relatives, Machairoceratops, is known from the upper unit of this formation - indicating that it is possible that Diabloceratops evolved into Machairoceratops, and never really disappeared from the environment at all.
By José Carlos Cortés
Other: Diabloceratops is usually found to be a Centrosaurine, the group of Ceratopsids with prominent nose horns and frill ornamentation, and usually little to no brow horns. However, a very recent analysis of Ceratopsian relationships found Diabloceratops to be neither a Centrosaurine nor a Chasmosarine (the other group of Ceratopsians, which includes Triceratops and its closest relatives), but rather outside both. Either way, Diabloceratops was a very early Ceratopsids, showing characteristics that are often found in common between both of the major groups of these dinosaurs - and showing how weird their headgear got even early on in their evolution.

The Esthetics of Encounter: A Relational-Performative Design Approach to Human-Robot Interaction
Petra Gemeinboeck

Centre for Transformative Media Technologies, School of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
This article lays out the framework for relational-performative esthetics in human-robot interaction, comprising a theoretical lens and design approach for critical practice-based inquiries into embodied meaning-making in human-robot interaction. I explore the centrality of esthetics as a practice of embodied meaning-making by drawing on my arts-led, performance-based approach to human-robot encounters, as well as other artistic practices. Understanding social agency and meaning as being enacted through the situated dynamics of the interaction, I bring into focus a process of bodying-thinging; entangling and transforming subjects and objects in the encounter and rendering elastic boundaries in-between. Rather than serving to make the strange look more familiar, aesthetics here is about rendering the differences between humans and robots more relational....

❝ your glory walks hand-in-hand with your doom. ❞
@vilestblood // our myths and legends are etched into our souls, the legacy of our ancestors written onto us as timeless scrolls // accepting.
“What glory?” His words are like broken glass, jagged and sharpened things intent on cutting into the parts of the murderous crow that his sword could not reach. Leaning heavily against a broken carriage, breaths stuttered out through crooked fangs and the blood rising up in his throat, Brom regards him with a ferocity and vitriol that walks the razor’s edge of being unhinged and undone by the beastliness boiling within his veins. “When you look upon me, when you feel the bite of silver against your flesh and the rending of your armor before my hands, do you see glory in this? Do you see glory in tearing one another apart like wolves in the street?”
Staggering, stumbling, Brom pushes himself off of the crutch he’d fashioned from the battered carriage and stands, as if to spite the weeping wounds carved into his flank from that hungering katana or the bullets lodged into his chest from a pilfered weapon of the Healing Church. Chest heaving, hands turned claws curling into fists in an effort to stop the shaking of them, he spits his rage and sorrow onto the cobblestones alongside a mouthful of blood. “We are beyond that! Beyond glory, beyond nobility or righteousness, beyond justification! We are nothing more than what Oedon has fashioned us into with His unseen hands, and there is no more room for the arrogance to deny that truth when it stares us full in the face!”
He jerks then, twitches and grunts before groaning as the crack of bones interrupts the stream of thought turned wrathful admittance. Razor-tipped fingers clutch and curl against the side of his face before it splinters in a splatter of viscera and gore, and a keening wail echoes out from his throat as half of his expression is malformed by the designs of that formless father. His jaw fractures to reveal row after row of fangs, his tongue lengthens to taste the sweltering blood on the air, and the burning of his eyes brightens for the bubbling wrath fit to burst within them. Reason and sanity wage war against savagery and bloodlust as he struggles to compose himself, breaths quickening and deepening into gasps as he resists the calling of that wretched blood.
“Do you see, crow?” His voice is a guttural noise now, more akin to a growl or rumble than anything resembling the man he once was. Brom gestures to the half of his face rent and ruined by the very plague ripping apart this town at the seams not with disgust but a resignation deep and melancholic. It tempers the rage, cools the wrath, keeps the anger from boiling over just yet. “This is the only glory left to us! To be remade in the image that the Great Ones see us in, as rancid beasts!” That silver sword of his, that proof of his station and loyalty and steadfastness still dripping with the poison of a Vileblood’s potent life, is brought up to his hungering maw. Tantalizingly sweet is the stench of such forbidden fruit from where it decorates his claws and blade... before the droplets are cast into the street with a disdainful flick and a smearing of it into thoroughly stained robes.
“There is no glory, not for me and not for you. There is only doom.” Every shifting of his flesh to become as a proper predator resisted ails him, every breath taken as a man in defiance of the animal prowling within a struggle, and yet the brandishing of his sword and the challenge of their battle renewed is that of a man yet. “So... let us face oblivion together, as we so rightly deserve.”
#vilestblood#verse; holy blade ( bb. )#tw;; gore#tw;; body horror#// YES. WE'RE KNOCKING THESE OUT STARTING WITH THIS ONE BABY.#// hot damn but antonin may be the death of brom yet... but what a death it'll be!#// thanks for sending one in and for spreading around btw-- glad that you've enjoyed the prompts my friend ^^

[More shenanigans. Error belongs to CQ, Ink belongs to Myebi. Warnings: cussing, a subtle sex joke. Also my meta meddling. Weird frenemy interactions courtesy of Ink not caring about Error’s opinion.]
Ink had overstayed his welcome. Mostly by just breathing in Error’s vicinity, but a man is entitled to his own territory and this idiot couldn’t keep his head out of a black hole if told not to. So. Here they were. Socializing. Error did not have manners and did not intend to learn any, but neither did Ink, though he liked to fake them like a fucking serial killer. It was almost funny.
“Error, even you have to admit that music is cool.”
“No I don’t.” He muttered, stabbing his doll-in-progress with a very pointy bone needle.
“But it comes from the soul,” Ink cajoled, flopped over backwards on Error’s own hammock. It promptly vanished, and the intruder clattered to the antivoid’s... uh, floor. Not that Ink seemed to care, grin animated and eyes sparkling with rainbow geometries.
“Not my fault you’ve got a stiff for other people’s emotions,” Error growled. Vulgarity pretty much never worked, stars knew how many ‘lemons’ or whatever the vernacular was Ink got an eyeful of daily. Some real fucking creeps came out at night. And Ink’s hypocrisy was amazing. “‘S rich from you anyway, ya Microsoft Paint trash.”
“You’ve always been as delightful as Javascript running on a Dell, has anyone ever told you?” Ink rolled onto his stomach to blink at him over his elbows like a little girl, feet kicking idly.
Error stabbed his doll again with greater amounts of violence.
The other skeleton smiled in that thin, slightly less theatrical way and let his eyes fall to half mast like a smug confrontational bastard. Fucking leech. Shitty red-eyed bored cuck of a bastard with so many hands in so many cookie jars he didn’t have any left to go fuck himself with. “Go play with crayons so I have more shit to burn once I’m done killing this to death.”
“Nah. Pass.” Ink’s eyes stayed red, but they shifted shapes again after a long freeze. “I want to know what music you’re into.”
“I’m fucking not. Unless you found the sound of a world ending.” He grinned, blatant and malicious as a dog. “All of those filthy glitches start sounding the same on their fourth hour of screaming. S’nice. Like the quiet better though.” He raised his impaled doll up to gesture pointedly.
Ink hummed thoughtfully, eyes switching to a playful cycle of greens and pinks. “I’m hearing.... death metal. Maybe. Or some of the more murdery orchestra numbers. Is Two Steps From Hell a little too on-the-nose?”
“A little too shove-it-up-your-ass, actually.” He sneered, and started tearing out a few rows of stitching.
“Your commentary is always appreciated.” Ink watched him work quietly for a few moments, eyes cycling like a screensaver as stitch after stitch was obliterated by the destroyer of worlds. It’d be easier to just blast it and start over, some of the thread was ruined, but he wanted to kill something that wouldn’t laugh at him for trying. So far the doll had taken the punishment without any unwelcome snark.
“Did you know humans think skeletons sound like xylophones?”
“What the fuck Ink.”
“Personally, I think we sound more like some other wooden percussion instruments. Vibraslaps maybe?”
Error slammed his needles down to fix Ink with an incredibly disturbed and increasingly pissed off glare. Ink just kept going.
“If I could be any instrument, though, I really think bongos deserve more appreciation-“
The darker skeleton bluntly crammed a fist into his own eyesocket as a warning.
“Though a keytar seems fairly versatile, if you know what I mean-“
Such a shame Ink had to die for a terrible sex joke, but it’d do. Strings went flying and finally, finally, all was right, Error was going to atomize Ink as soon as he could get a proper grip on him and this was the closest thing he could label as blissful stability in his existence-
Tink tink tink.
Error froze.
Ink, one hand entangled and the other outstretched, looked him dead in the eye and tickled a blue string of death with one phalange.
Tinkle tinkle tink.
Tink.
He shifted his grip a little, and Error watched dumbly as Ink experimented with the little high-pitched noises he could pull from these weapons of mass destruction. After a few seconds he had a passably awful rendition of Hot Cross Buns going.
“I think it needs a soundboard, but it’s not bad!”
Error just.
Couldn’t.
And sort of.
Flickered.
Making high-pitched noises of confused rage like a blown speaker.
Ink blinked, then smiled. “Every singer starts out somewhere, Glitchy, you’ll get it.”
People are adorably confused by why Ink’s favorite genre is electro-industrial, but that’s fine by him. The joke’s never as funny when he tries to explain it, you just really had to be there.

Spuffy style Reading Challenge - #1: Alphabet Soup Challenge
A:
A Different Kind of Hell by OffYourBird, 89768 words [NC-17]
Jumping through Glory's tower portal, Buffy and Spike find themselves in a hell dimension they never expected. One that looks suspiciously like 1880's London. Will they find a way back home? Will the truth behind William the Bloody at last make itself known? Will Buffy ever stop butchering the Queen's English? Join them and find out. Starts off at the end of "The Gift."
B:
The Blue Eye of the Storm by MaggieLaFey, 114557 words [NC-17]
Instead of the Scythe, what Buffy finds under the vineyard is a portal to another dimension. Spike has followed her there, and it’s the two of them that will cross the portal… and remain trapped on the other side for far longer than they’d expected.
What will happen when the two of them—plus a local guide—are away from the stress of Chez Summers? Will they find some peace in the eye of the storm?
C:
Circles by toooldforthis, 5884 words [PG-13]
They're so near and yet so far away.
A post-series reunion oneshot.
D:
The Darkling by OffYourBird, 360920 words [NC-17]
When Buffy’s quest to get Spike returned to her is fulfilled in an unexpected way, she finds herself in a complicated relationship with an intrigued master vampire who isn’t the man she loves, but who might be someday… if she can convince him to step out of the dark.
E:
Encapsulated by BillieLiar, 3044 words [NC-17]

For You To Be You by lafillesauvage, 9298 words [Adult Only]
Alternate ending for 7x13 The Killer in Me. What happened after Buffy and Spike returned to an empty Revello Drive following the chipectomy? Well, in this story, Buffy realises just how much she cares for Spike, which leads to some fluffy reconciliations involving chocolate ice cream and Walker, Texas Ranger. She also gets her period, and adult-only fun is had by all.
G:
Gestalt by OffYourBird, 2571 words [R]
A love story in pieces and parts.
H:
Hunger by Sunalso, 148397 words [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.

Inside Man by Holly, 85524 words [NC-17]
Spike had this perfect memory of them together—her holding his hand, looking at him with tears in her eyes, telling him she loved him. If a man had to die, that was the way to do it. But in their world, the dead don’t stay dead.
A completely canon-compliant retelling of AtS Season 5, beginning with Harm’s Way.
J:
Just Breathe by Passion4Spike, 13444 words [NC-17]

Kaleidoscope by Lirazel, 6731 words [PG-13]
"Can you tell me, is this love that I'm seeing?" One by one, the people in Buffy and Spike's lives try to add up the obvious.
L:
Let me go but hold me tight by Miss Marisol, 2860 words [R]
This time, heartbreak isn’t the right word, she thinks; it isn’t a breaking. Isn’t a something that comes about when your world gets turned on its head—it is simply a nothing. It’s a vacancy of everything good. She had once read that darkness doesn’t exist, that it is merely the absence of light, and she remembers that she hadn’t understood the meaning of this then - but now she does.
Takes place during Anya's and Xander's wedding and goes AU from there. After Buffy breaks up with Spike, she realizes that she's made a terrible mistake...

Once in a Lifetime by bewildered, 14938 words [NC-17]

Every day is full of decisions that will change where you end up. Spike and Buffy travel down a Valentine’s Day road (or roads) where different choices put them on different paths. Will one of the paths bring them together? (Note the timelines and events of season four have been altered here. Some things haven’t happened or haven’t happened yet.)
W:
World Enough, and Time by toooldforthis, 23442 words [R]
“You came back wrong,” he told her, all those years ago. He was right, but it took them a very long time to realise exactly what that meant. It meant a hundred more apocalypses, a thousand battles. It meant a journey, a prophecy, a war. They’d lose one other, and find their way back, and choose, again and again. And all the while, the earth was failing.
There are a lot more people than you think who are here for the long haul – like, the really long haul. This is a story about two of them.
X:
Xander Harris and the Eye of Ra by SlayrGrl [PG-13]
Going on a solo mission in the desert wasn't quite the therapeutic escape Xander had hoped for to help him move on with his life post Sunnydale. But, when Xander finds himself a new travel companion, he discovers that having an obnoxious vampire-ghost to keep him company might actually be worse than being alone in the desert.
Y:
You Think You Know What's to Come by deedo, 5207 words [NC-17]
Buffy handled things a bit differently after she gave Spike the amulet. Some lines are taken from the episode 'Chosen'
Z:
Zeno's Paradox by resignedlybeneaththesky [PG-13]
You deserve this, Buffy thought to herself. You deserve to feel every second of this guilt because it’s your fault.
Spike was suffering, truly suffering, as he grappled with his newly-won soul, and it was killing her a piece at a time to watch.
And god help her, she loved him.

isiXhosa alphabet
Here is a phonetic chart to explain certain symbols, because although for the most part the majority of the Xhosa alphabet makes similar sounds to the English alphabet, some of these sounds still need further explaining.
The Consonants
“B” is like in bot
“D” is like in date
“F” is like in five

https://youtu.be/Trq_gIe1v04 (How to make the click sounds)
For the letter “C” you pop your tongue from behind your teeth. For “Q” you do the same but from the top of your mouth instead of the back of you teeth. For “X” you do that but from the side of your mouth instead.
“ch” is the same as c but followed by a puff of air
“gc” pronounce the c click with stress
“nc” same as c but nasal
“ngc” same as “nc” but with stress
“nkc” same as “nc” the k is silent.

“gr” like the american letter r (this is what I found for it, correct me if I am wrong)
“hh” (I couldn’t find any source for how this would sound so I’m assuming that it is just is still silent)
“hl” you make the “L” sound but you put your tongue on the side of your teeth (it can sound weird if your not use to it but look up the welsh word Llanelly)
“kh” the same as the letter k but aspirated
“kr” pronounced like “ch” in the scottish word loch but more emphasis
“lh” same as the letter L but aspirated
“mh” m with aspiration
“ndl” the “n” sound plus the “dl/hl” sound

Utahraptor ostrommaysi
By Nix, CC BY-NC 4.0
Etymology: Thief from Utah
First Described By: Kirkland et al., 1993
Classification: Dinosauromorpha, Dinosauriformes, Dracohors, Dinosauria, Saurischia, Eusaurischia, Theropoda, Neotheropoda, Averostra, Tetanurae, Orionides, Avetheropoda, Coelurosauria, Tyrannoraptora, Maniraptoromorpha, Maniraptoriformes, Maniraptora, Pennaraptora, Paraves, Eumaniraptora, Dromaeosauridae, Eudromaeosauria, Dromaeosaurinae
Status: Extinct
Time and Place: Between 129 and 120 million years go, from the Barremian to the Aptian ages of the Early Cretaceous
Utahraptor is known from the Yellow Cat and Poison Strip members of the Cedar Mountain Formation
Physical Description: Utahraptor was a very large raptor dinosaur, and had the associated bodily characteristics - a bulky trunk, shorter legs, long arms, large head, and long, stiffened tail. It was really and truly huge, about 7 meters long and 500 kilograms in weight - about the size of a modern Grizzley or Polar Bear, though they might have been heavier than previously thought. Like other raptors, it had huge sickle claws on its feet, and the claws were probably around 24 centimeters long - or even longer, if they had been covered in a keratin sheath as potentially thought. The skull of Utahraptor has not yet been described, so for now we can only say that it had a long, triangular head like other raptors, with sharp serrated teeth. As with other raptors, it would have been feathered - with very large wings for flapping, and a distinctively huge tail fan. The legs of Utahraptor would have been slightly less feathered, but still distinctive. In short, it was a big and fluffy bird-bear, and the largest predator in its environment.
By Matt Martyniuk, CC BY-SA 3.0
Diet: Utahraptor was a large predator and, accordingly, ate large sources of food such as ornithopods and younger sauropods.
By PaleoNeolitic, in the Public Domain
Behavior: As a raptor, Utahraptor would have been most analogous to a cat - probably stalking alone rather than in packs, and utilizing ambush behavior to trap its prey. Since it had somewhat stubby legs and wasn’t very fast at all, it couldn’t have relied on pursuit to attack its food, even if its food was just as slow as it was. Instead, these powerful legs helped Utahraptor to jump onto its food and surprise it, even from the ground where it spent its time. It then could use raptor prey restraint (RPR) to stay balanced on the prey, flapping its wings rapidly as the prey moved around and tried to escape. Those impossibly large sickle claws then were used to strategically stab at places where the prey would bleed out - important veins and arteries - rather than slash. In addition to this, Utahraptor would have been able to flap its wings rapidly and run up steep surfaces - a technique called Wing-Assisted Inclined Running (WAIR) - even vertical ones, like cliff faces and trees. This allowed Utahraptor to reach strategic vantage points and search for prey - and even jump down onto it from high heights. These techniques allowed Utahraptor to not only hunt the similarly-sized Ornithopods of the time, but also potentially attack the even larger Sauropods with which it shared its home. When it needed a smaller snack, that large claw could be used to pin down struggling furry mammals and lizards, in order for Utahraptor to then take a bite.
By Fred Wierum, CC By-SA 4.0
Though Utahraptor did not hunt in packs, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t social - and, indeed, there is considerable evidence not yet described that it lived in dense family groups. This would probably mean that adult Utahraptor would go out hunting on their own, while the little ones would gather their own food, before coming together in the same space for safety from other Utahraptor and just to spend the night. It is very likely that Utahraptor took care of its own young based on its relatives - and there’s hopefully more evidence on the way to corroborate this. This was a very complex social animal, using those fancy wings and tail fan to display to other Utahraptor - by holding up the wings and lifting the tail fan to display, it could communicate with others that it was a threat, that it wanted to mate, or to stay away from its nest. In general, it would have behaved very bird-like - walking around, bobbing its head, and moving its head to look for food and for each other rather than moving the eyes. And, like birds, it would have been very active, and warm-blooded.
By Ashley Patch
Ecosystem: When the Cedar Mountain Formation supported Utahraptor, it was a very large floodplain environment, that periodically flash flooded and filled the valley with mud. This was a seasonally wet environment with a variety of rivers, forests, prairies, and open woodlands. The ecosystem had a short wet system and a very long, tedious dry season. Utahraptor shared this environment with countless creatures - the tuataran Toxolophosaurus, the turtle Glyptops, a variety of fish, the mammaliaform Cifelliodon, and - of course - other dinosaurs. There was the ankylosaur Gastonia, the large Iguanodon-like Ornithopods Cedrorestes, Hippodraco, and Iguanacolossus; the Sauropods Cedarosaurus and Mierasaurus; the Therizinosaurs Martharaptor and Falcarius; the Troodontid Geminiraptor; the Ornithomimosaur Nedcolbertia; and another raptor - Yurgovuchia! This gave Utahraptor a wide variety of things to hunt in its environment.
By Emily Willoughby, CC By-SA 3.0
By the time of the later Poison Strip environment, things were changing rapidly in Cedar Mountain. Dry seasons were longer now, and a significant amount of sand was washing through the ecosystem. This made life higher in the floodplain, and probably eliminated many of the forests and river-woods that had been present prior to, leaving only a somewhat scrubland-esque plain. Accordingly, creature diversity actually went down - it was something of an ecosystem collapse. There was still food for Utahraptor to eat - the Ornithopod Planicoxa, and the sauropods Moabosaurus and Venenosaurus; but that was it. Utahraptor, thus, was living in a miniature extinction event - and disappears from the environment by the time the mud and rainy seasons returned in the Ruby Ranch Environment, and the large predator niche was replaced by the carnosaur Acrocanthosaurus.
By Calum O’Halloran
Other: Utahraptor was the largest raptor known, and we actually have many fossils of it - but they’re trapped in a block! Well, there isn’t funding to remove them from the block, anyway. So much more could be (and will be, dammit!) written about this excellent dinosaur if it was adequately funded to be researched properly. Check out the Utahraptor Project if you want to learn more about Utahraptor - and consider donating! Literally every penny helps. Utahraptor is also one of the inspirations for the raptors of Jurassic Park, along with Deinonychus - though, obviously, those creatures do not resemble their real counterparts in the slightest.
