Three coins of fate

[dustyelle.livejournal.com]

Hi!  I was looking for two fics and I hope that someone can help me with them.  The first one is by Kumi-and its called Three coins of fate.
I can only find part one of the story, so if anyone has the rest it would be really cool.
The second one is more of a problem.  I cant remember who wrote it or its name.  What I remember is:
     Buffy is in a troubled marriage with Riley, he is very overbearing.  I think he is a CEo but I'm not to sure.  She is human but Spike is not.  They meet and fall in love.  I remember a scene when they had to go to dinner with a client and all Riley did was put her down.  I think its bitey.  Does anyone remember it?  I think it was written last year.
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi, Thanks, thats a great story, but its not the one. The one I'm talking about is happening now and she is a housewife who is human,never a slayer, in an unhappy marriage, and she meets Spike. I know that it sounds like one from Addie Logan, but its not. Thanks anyway.

Here's Distinguishing Flames by Kumi:

Through death and rebirth, the past and the present, the Slayer and her Vampire learn more about their love, their fate, and their family and friends. But in the end will it all be lost when a prophecy says that the first soul mates will be born at the price of the world?

Links go to Vampkiss - but I don't have a link for chapter 13-15.
She closed her site, it's gone now.
If you find a link to chapter 13-15 let me know, please.
Or do you know another site where her fics could be found?

No clue about the second fic.

I found an easy to nav link for extinguishing flames and three coins of fate along with 2 other stories at
http://web.archive.org/web/20031108100358/www.the-sandlot.com/fic.php?mode=author&auth_id=129

but so far nothing for the doomsday clock

[cordykitten]

*nods* Same here. I had the sandlot link in my fic rec entry too but I didn't notice (as it mentioned above) that the second page of that story gives me a blank page (at last in IE - does it work for you with another browser?). But thanks for trying.
Too bad these last pages aren't in the Wayback Machine archive. :(

I find in looking at the pages in the webarchive that Kumi is gone from the author list by 2005. Did she ever finish the final chapters? Yeah, I noticed that blank page after I posted.

[(Anonymous)]

In webarchive for sinister-attraction Doomsday Clock is listed as unfinished for what its worth. Perhaps those pesky chapters are floating in the net somewhere

Hi Cordykitten, thanks again for comming thru for me. My sandlot link dropped the second and third page, thats what I was looking for.
I'll keep searching the web for it>
You are too cool!

[cordykitten]

You're welcome! I had only the link to The Sandlot (which isn't working) but didn't add the VK links because when I did "K" VK was down too. I edited my entry to the VK links now, they work at last. :)
*edit*
Surprise - you'll never guess it but Kumi is back -> just_kumi!

just Kumi

[(Anonymous)]

Wow-I hope she is writing again.
thanks for the link.

[cordykitten]

Good luck for finding it. Maybe the missing chapters were only posted at her site, and not VK. I can't find a working link for VK.

I could swear I've read something on her site. *checks* Found it at last:

Libidinous Desires
Opened June 20, 2002 - Closed February 27, 2003
~~~
I'm sorry to say but Real Life has changed dramatically for me; and after some serious consideration, I have decided the time has come to put Libidinous Desires to bed. As web mistress, I want to say thank you to all the readers who have supported LD and to the site's writers who have created some truly amazing pieces of fiction.
But I especially would like to say thank you to Jypzrose for all of her support, encouragement, and, of course, her wonderful friendship.

May we all keep Spuffy alive in our hearts . . . . .Kumi

I had her added at LJ but I didn't know her personally. She vanished from LJ "over night" in 2007. What I have left from 'Doomsday' is an excerpt of an email of her to one Yahoo Group where she wrote in Sept 2004 that she had taken a year off ... she would be back at the keyboard now. Seems RL got in thew way again.

I doubt it very much that she ever finished it. :(

*edit*
She didn't finish it but she is back! So cross your fingers for an update. :)
