Fics that are nifty

will32
So I might as well rec the fics I've bookmarked recently. Cause I've found some good stuff! Angsty and smutty Buffy/Spike. Fluffy and smutty Buffy/Spike. Dark and brutal and smutty Buffy/Spike. Oh! And AtS gen, William/Angelus, Willow/Faith, Angel/Willow/Spike, Willow/Xander, and naked!Spike. Variety. I haz it.

Oh, and happy birthday to eowyn_315 who's out of town but hey it's the thought that counts, right???



1. Insult to Injury by Joan the English Chick - NC-17 Buffy/Spike - A super-duper angsty S6 Buffy/Spike fic. It'll make you want to huggle Spike.

2. A Stitch in Time by Yahtzee and Rheanna - AtS gen - Guys! It's time travel! It's fun! Okay, I would never expect to actually bookmark an AtS genfic (cause I'm just not that into the AtS characters), but this one really worked for me. Also, it has Drusilla and the Fanged Four! Plus, novel-length! And did I mention the time travel?

3. Spike Naked by Valerie_X - Spike/Willow, Spike/Angel, Spike/Faith - Complete comedy. Set in the summer after S4. Spike stays naked throughout the entire story. It's fab.

4. Incandescence by Wiseacress - NC-17 William/Angelus - One-shot set in the Fanged Four era, obviously. Interesting Angelus/William dynamic. William's already vamped, but he hasn't picked up the name 'Spike' yet.

5. Just a Normal Girl by st_salieri - Buffy - A ficlet that doubles as a meta on Buffy's character. It's lovely.

6. Lucky Coin by amyxaphania - NC-17 Buffy/Spike - It's a fluffy Christmas fic! With smut! I recommend using it to balance out the angst of 'Insult to Injury'. *nods*

7. Four Conversations by thelastgoodname - Willow/Faith - I've actually taken a liking to this pairing. This fic looks at the progression of the Willow/Faith dynamic through the series and ends post-series with the possibility of an actual relationship.

8. Drive it Home by clawofcat - NC-17 Buffy/Spike - Very rough BDSM-y Spuffy smut. Really, not fluffy. But hot. Very hot. With biting and pegging.

9. PENGUINS by quinara - all-penguin Spuffy - Um...I trust we all know what this one is? :)

10. Play Along by em_north - NC-17 Angel/Willow/Spike - Yeah...kinda a twist on School Hard. Instead of Xander going to get Angel for help, Willow goes. And then a threesome with Spike ensues. Kinda hot in a dark, ohmigod! sorta way.

11. A Virgin's Dream Come True by Laure Alexander - NC-17 Willow/Xander - Probably not for actual fans of the pairing. Most realistic sex scene EVER!

Ooh, listiness... Thanks for the rec! (Do I feel bad taking credit for something I wrote on a fandom-induced high? I'm not sure...)

Oh, I'm so glad you're starting to get into Willow/Faith! It's such a funny little pairing but somehow it just works for me. And thanks for the rec of that, cause I hadn't seen it before and really liked it.

Hee! I'd never even thought about Willow/Faith as a pairing until I stumbled across some fics for it. It actually kinda works for me.

Oh, me neither. It's not one that would have intuitively jumped out at me, but makes sense once it has been.

Joan the English Chick! Have you read Melt Away yet? Less angst, more smut, which I have to admit is the ratio I prefer.;)

I tried to e-mail her to tell her I enjoyed her story, but it bounced back. Is she on another site where I can comment?

Have you read "Be Careful What You Wish For"? It's RPF, but very well done and very funny (although now that I think about it, some of the stuff may only make sense if you were online during Season 6).

It's on my to-read list. :)

I'm typically more a fan of fluff than angst, but I do like to tuck away good angsty stories for when I'm in a masochistic mood. :)

a) Yay recs! I need 'em. :)
b) The penguins are my current "pimp out fandom to people that might not otherwise consider fanfic" fic. I'm not linking them here, but trust me, the story punctuated with my snorts of laughter is very endearing/tempting. :D

b) rofl! I'd think that'd be more likely to scare people away...

Number 10 is an all-time fave of mine! Em North is stellar!

But the title of the story is Play Along. What a Lovely Way to Burn is the name of her website.

You should see MY sleepy fluffs. Oy!

emnorth is one of my all-time favorite writers and she did so much to encourage me when I took the plunge and started writing for myself. Her presence in fandom is missed beyond the power of words to express.

Aw, thanks for the rec! And thanks for this list. I've read some of the stuff on here, but not all of it. And I was just craving some good fic to read. Yay!

You're welcome. It's a lovely piece and I want lots of people to read it for the Buffy-love. :)

Hee! It totally counts. :) Thanks!,

And, random - I had breakfast with clawofcat today, and she was like, "I've suddenly started getting reviews on my older fics - did someone rec me or something?" I thought it might be you. :)
