[iwillrememberyoumarathon]

Twenty years ago the I Will Remember You Fic Marathon (IWRY) was born. Originated by Leni, then passed on to Chrislee, to Dark Star, and then Angelus2Hot, IWRY has remained the premiere event on the Buffy/Angel calendar and the centre of the B/A fandom itself.

This year we are hoping to mark these two decades of fan creativity and storytelling by making it the biggest IWRY in years. 

In this spirit, one of our team approached the current moderator to ask if we could join her in the running of the event. She did not feel this was necessary. We respect her decision and all the work she has put into keeping the marathon going these past years. We wish her nothing but the best with it now and in the future.

However, we believe IWRY is deeply rooted in our fandom as a collective and community experience. We want to create spaces and events where all who wish to participate can participate. It is for this reason we have decided to run our own I Will Remember You Fic Marathon.

Sign-ups for IWRY Fic Marathon are open now. 

If you are a writer or even just writer-curious, please put your name down and join us as we celebrate all things Bangel. We will accept any piece of fanfiction, of any rating, that is 500 or more words long and focused on the relationship of Buffy/Angel (and/or Buffy/Angelus). If drabbles are your jam, we will be happy to include those among the Another Minute bonus stories at the end of the event.

We have also decided to open up the Marathon to other forms of art. All we ask is that it is centred on Buffy/Angel, and that you put your best foot forward! 

We are now accepting submissions of artwork such as:

gifsets

moodboards

fanart 

manips 

videos

soundtracks 

Please sign up for artwork submissions here! 

If you are neither writer nor artist, fear not! We would love to have you join in whatever capacity is best for you. Some roles to consider include:

Beta reading

Supporting the writers with reviews & comments on fics

Taking part in our "Meet the Fandom" series

Helping us with the logistics behind the scenes

Promoting the marathon on your platform of choice

Anything we missed? Let us know!

If you are interested in participating in a non-writing/art role, email us at iwryficmarathon@gmail.com.

If you are a writer without an AO3 account, we have a number of invitations that we are happy to share. Just let us know on the signup sheet. If you are not a writer but would like to be active on AO3, just reach out to us directly via email.

The stories will be posted to a 2023 Collection on the I Will Remember You Marathon Archive. We will provide clear instructions about how to do this closer to the event.

Once again, we welcome you to the IWRY Fic Marathon and encourage you to take part in any way you can!

“...Some words of wisdom were once offered in your world that I found quite profound: If there is no great and glorious end to all of this, if nothing you do matters … then all that matters is what you do for and to each other.”  She was about to say that she didn’t find the words comforting in the slightest, but before she could speak Angel interrupted. “Hey, I said that!”

- Chapter 24, Book three, "The First Apocalypse" in MCorey1317's The Reunion Trilogy

any coffy fic recs?

I’m very weird about them, I LOVE the ship and think that it was canon in the sense that they had a weird thing for each other, but don’t think it should’ve been canon in the sense of them getting together, if that makes sense. BUT that doesn’t mean I don’t love reading about hypotheticals! so yeah, any coffy fic recs would be gladly appreciated. preferably set in the canon universe (which includes the birthdayverse or wishverse) but if it’s a really really good AU then I’ll still give it a shot :)

[buffyversekinkmeme]

spike/penn

PROMPT: anything about them but in particular: - penn giving his grief over newly turned william - penn having surprise feeling over the way angelus trying to extinguish any human stuff out of spike. might feel sorry for him, might feel more - after angel got his soul spike and dru was abandoned. What if Penn decided to take them instead of leaving with Darla?

so on and so forth, there are so much potential

PROMPT RATING: Any

PROMPT FILL: This prompt has no fills so far.

[thepsychoticqueen]

Summary: What would have happened if Spike went to Angel after getting chipped, instead of Buffy? The past and the present collide within, and some memories won't stay buried.

Flashbacks to times long past, abandonment issues, a ton of anger, and angst galore all wait for you inside. Spike still yearns for Angelus, but it's Angel he needs right now.

This is a story of dark and light. There's torture, and pain. But there is also comfort, and warm fuzzy feelings. These boys have a lot of problems to work out, and it's not going to happen quickly. The meaning of a soul, of a demon - as well as the evils of humans and vampires alike, can all be found within. I hope you all enjoy.

A Blessed Mother

Darla heads back to the United States and the bastard who put this THING in her.

Angelus. . . only he isn't her Angelus any more. He's a sniveling, pathetic, beautiful man with only her lover's face to remind her of what once was. . .

There's no fairness and now he's made her a freak, something is alive inside her and it feels wrong. She can feel it growing and starting to kick, the way it suckles on her being and takes her energy and strength. . . she can feel it all.

Whatever it is she hopes it eats it's father.

She stares out the bus window, they're headed north towards Los Angeles.

Time was when she was a monster too but now people try to touch her stomach and congratulate her.

Oh if only they knew what was growing inside of her.

if only she knew what was growing inside of her.

She put's a hand on her stomach and looks across the bus at a little boy sitting with his mother. He's got huge eyes and dark hair and she smiles at him, hungry. She's always hungry now. The thing inside of her can't eat enough.

She gives him a little wave and the chicken nugget waves back.

He has no idea, the poor, stupid, little thing.

It's a late ride, most of the passengers have drifted off but that's okay. She likes the quiet and she rests herself, tired in ways she hasn't been for hundreds of years. The thing inside of her is making her feel alive and it's disgusting.

It revolts her.

The bus rumbles on and in the distance she can see the city lights, a glowing beacon of humanity drawing ever nearer.

She rubs her belly, feeling the thing inside of her shift.

It's hungry and so is she.

She'd meant to wait, meant to wait until they reached the city but she doesn't think she can.

She smiles again at the little boy, he's playing with a toy dinosaur and he looks positively delicious. She can see his pulse thumping along without a care in the world. He has no idea and neither does she.

This is all wrong, all Angelus's fault but she's going to put it right. She's going to find Daddy and make him pay.

Make him pay or beg him to fix it. She doesn't know quite which one yet. Maybe both if she can manage it.

The engine hums and the wheels turn and she feels so incredibly hungry.

Time was when she could have had anyone she wanted but now. . . now she mostly wants children.

The thing inside of her wants them.

She tilts her head back and closes her eyes, hand on her stomach, hunger growing inside of her.

Almost there.

The city draws near and the hunger becomes insurmountable.

She eats them all, driver included and when she steps off the bus it's with a full stomach.

There's a toy dinosaur covered in blood behind her and she feels better as she sets off towards the city and the man who did this to her.

Angelus is going to be so surprised when she reaches him.

She can only hope the shock will kill him.

Unwittingly, Angel gets a dose of demon goo, or hit by an errant spell. He *imprints* on the first person he sees, namely Cordy. Warning: Obsessive behavior and stalking. WIP but worth reading.

[reallyreal-madeingold]

My Asks Are Open For Drabble Requests!

Mostly in light of the AO3 outage. Drabble requests for Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel the Series.

Keep stuff to season 1-5 of BtVS or season one of AtS as that's where my canon knowledge is strongest.

Give me a character or two, a relationship (romantic or platonic), a location, and a few words or a phrase about what you'd like me to write. I'll write for any pairing, as long as it's not incest or underage/adult (canon underage/adult is fine, for example season 1 and 2 Buffy x Angel). No graphic violence, rape/noncon or smut requests please!

[reallyreal-madeingold]

Finished this one not long ago....

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Pairing: Spike X Angel

Season 4 AU, rated M

listen, I’m not being dramatic at all when I say most people don’t know how exhausting being a fanfic writer can be. I mean I understand why they tend to think it’s an ‘activity we do in our free time’ where we just sit in our beds in front of our laptops and type something away when we’re bored. thing is, I wish it were that easy. but it’s not. sometimes we spend hours doing research, sometimes — most of the times — it takes us so long to think of words to form a sentence, because the sentences/dialogues you see in a fanfic aren’t the same as a conversation we have with people irl in our daily lives where we don’t have to worry about whether or not it’s ‘smooth’ or ‘in-character’ or ‘aesthetically satisfying’ enough. that one sentence you read in a fic could take the author so long to come up with, to craft the words and put them together, and as someone who also writes, this isn’t an exaggeration at all. I could say “he saw a girl with her mom today, and thought of his own mom because he missed her” to you as a normal irl conversation, but once I put that in my fic, it turns into “His eyes landed on a little girl, she couldn’t have been older than six. She was with her mother, and they were both smiling. A soft smile tucked at the corner of his lips then, a wave of nostalgia washed over his heart as his memories led him back to his mother’s home, when he was little. He hadn’t seen her in so long, but he remembered the scent of her morning coffee; warm and cozy, just like her hugs.” and I’m not talking about the constant feelings that your works are never over. because once you finished a chapter or a one-shot, that you worked on for so long, and posted it, you’re almost immediately hit with the feelings that you have to start working on your next fic right now, otherwise you’re not being productive enough, and all your self-worth comes from how much/how fast/how well/how often you write. so instead of rewarding yourself with a night without any writing where you can give yourself a nice relaxing bath or binge watch a show or any other thing you enjoy doing, you start writing something new. and it’s just so exhausting, but we do it anyway.

now imagine you doing all of this. so other people can read your works. for free. while you’re also busy with work/life/your actual job. you get nothing in return — from pulling an all-nighter for 3 nights in a row, just to finish a chapter of your fic — except kudos and comments.

being a writer who published original works as their main source of income is super cool, of course, but it’s sad how fanfic writers are often seen as less than ‘actual’ writers when I’ve read a lot of fanfictions that were better written than an actual published novel. a fanfic writer is as much of a writer as any other writer who writes and publishes their original works as their main source of income.

anyway, my point is, we as fanfic writers don’t make any money from our works. we do it simply because of our love for the characters in the fandoms we’re in. please please please please always show your appreciation to your favorite authors by giving them kudos and commenting on their works. if you’re shy or if you don’t know what to comment, just say ‘I enjoyed reading this so much’ or ‘I liked this chapter so much’ or how reading it made you feel; it can be ‘this made me cry. thank you’ or ‘I smiled to myself while reading this *inserts a part or a dialogue from the fic* thank you for writing this’. literally anything. even if the authors don’t respond to you, I can guarantee you that they read your comments and it made them smile and they appreciate your support more than you know. literally comments are also what motivate them to write more fics for you to read.

that being said, if you’re a fanfic writer and you’d love to promote your works under this post. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DO SO.

PLEASE PROMOTE YOUR FICS. THIS IS A PLACE FOR YOU TO SHAMELESSLY PROMOTE THE BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECES YOU WROTE ABOUT YOUR BLORBOS. ANY SHIP. ANY FANDOM. YOU CAN PROMOTE THEM IN REBLOGS OR TAGS. YOUR WORKS DESERVE MORE LOVE!

so I was thinking about the Key plotline as I often do, and the line “the monks made her out of me” is suddenly really interesting to me.

obviously what this means is that they made dawn’s body to have the DNA of joyce and hank, hence her being buffy’s sister and having the same DNA as buffy (“summers blood”). but like imagine taking that line literally.

“the monks made her out of me.” buffy has an identical twin.

obviously they didn’t do this because 1, they wanted a younger character to be in peril and provide variety in the cast, 2, having your lead actor play two characters would probably be much too much for them, and 3, the cost of having sarah play two characters and having to use split screen and doubles and stuff with the limited cgi of the time would just be too much. (dopplegangland was great but they probably couldn’t feasibly do that every episode for three whole seasons)

but just the concept of it is so interesting to me. this twin literally has buffy’s face, buffy’s voice, buffy’s body. but she’s not the slayer. dawn has to deal with being in the shadow of her slayer sister all the time, but the added strain of looking exactly like her and being the same age as her would just be so heartbreaking and interesting to explore.

I also think the impact of the reveal would just slap more. oh my god there’s two buffy’s!?!?!! oh my god buffy has a twin all of a sudden?!?!!!? there would also just be another level of angst, with buffy feeling violated that the monks just made another version of her and essentially used her body, and with the twin feeling like an afterthought, a duplicate, an impostor, etc.

plus them being twins would emphasise their bond more, as twins are supposed to have a really close and special relationship for obvious reasons. the monks made dawn so that buffy would protect her - the two of them having a strong twin bond and remembering a life of growing up doing everything together would really help with that!

also also I just love the idea that if the buffybot still got made, then at one point there would be three buffy’s but only one of them would actually be buffy. absolutely hilarious to me, smg would be working some serious overtime!!

I just love this concept and I might write it as a fic if I can come up with an actual plot. can any of you think of any names for this twin? or would she still be called dawn (what with the whole symbolism of the sun coming up in the gift, the foreshadowing, etc.) if you come up with any more ideas or discussion points about this au please lmk in comments/reblogs/asks etc, I’m obsessed with this idea and I need to talk about it!!!!
