elisi's humble abode

Finally here! It could probably be better, but I'd like to post before Easter, and overall I'm quite happy with it. Anyway, this really has nothing to do with Christmas - dunno why I'm writing Riley centric stuff, but I can only hope that it'll appeal to both those who like the character and those who do not - mostly I tried to tie up a few lose ends. ::crosses fingers::

If anyone wants to play catch-up, here's Part 1. (The story is set within my 'Maybe Someday' verse, but is pretty much a stand-alone. There is a second part, but it is an interlude full of Spuffy schmoop that isn't really important to the main story.)

As always many smooches to my ever fabulous beta kathyh!

Feedback makes me do the Snoopy dance. :)


( The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come )

So, my day has been rushed and stressful and all sorts of annoying things that I'm trying to purge my mind of, and that I'm certainly not going to inflict on you. Instead I come bearing Christmas (or Holiday/Hanukkah/Solstice etc) fic: Something warm and snuggly to help you all de-stress.

This also happens to be the second part of 'Not Quite a Christmas Carol' (Part 1 here), but if anyone has actually read Dickens' marvellous tale, they might recall that the first ghost is melancholy, the second jolly and the third creepy. Soooo, this fic is all about the warm and happy (see icon) - a sort of stand-alone within a stand-alone. Or, more precisely, an interlude. All you need to know is that Spike and Buffy are dating, he's come to Rome for Christmas and the resident Watcher is called Johnson (and his wife's pregnant). Let the schmoop commence. :)

Many thanks to kathyh for the beta and feedback is the best present there is! ;)

( The Ghost of Christmas Present )

Look I wrote something! It's taken forever, and part 3 will probably not be done until Easter, but there you go. This isn't really a sequel to 'Maybe Someday', just a little sort of extra story that's been sat in my head almost since I got the idea for the original story, and set a few months later. I hope you like. ::crosses fingers::

This can be read independently I guess, but most of it will only make sense if you've read Maybe Someday.

As usual loads of smooches to my lovely beta kathyh!

Feedback stops the baby crying! *g*
