Fic: Ars Poetica
For any of you who might have missed it or aren't a member of
seasonal_spuffy , I'm linking to my story over there. Monday was my day, and I finished writing a story I'd been wanting to write for a very long time. I got to cover the entirety of Buffy and Spike's relationship, from Season 2 past the end of Angel, and I got to do it using lots of my favorite poems. So you might want to check it out.
Title: Ars Poetica
Fandom: Buffyverse
Written for:
seasonal_spuffy
Characters/Pairings: Spike/Buffy (cameos by Angel, Giles, Dawn, Sam Finn, and Gunn)
Timeline: "Becoming Part II" - post-"Not Fade Away." Canon all through BtVS; ignores the comics and "The Girl in Question."
Rating: R
Disclaimer: The world and characters of the Buffyverse do not belong to me. Neither do any of the poems.
Summary: The story of her life with Spike, Buffy realizes, is written in poetry, not prose.
Poems used: "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost, "The Truth of a Woman" by Sir Walter Scott, Portia's speech from The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare, "Death is a dialogue between" by Emily Dickinson, "Resume" by Dorothy Parker, "Up" by Margaret Atwood, "i like my body when it is with your" by e.e. cummings, "The Kill" by Carl Phillips, Sonnet XXXIX by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sonnet III from A Few Figs from Thistles by Edna St. Vincent Millay, "Fletcher McGee" by Edgar Lee Masters, "Elegy XX: To His Mistress Going to Bed" by John Donne (my favorite poet), a few lines of "may i feel said he" by e.e. cummings, and "Fate slew Him but He did not drop" by Emily Dickinson.
