• No Real Pairing
  • Title Defying Series - Gunbunny. There's someone watching the Watcher and Slayer. And this is the closest she's ever come to a normal life. "Get your feet off my desk before I sexually harass your trenchcoat and confuse it so much that it'll join your ex in the loony bin."
    "Couldn't you sexually harass me instead?"
    "In your dreams, you walking ego."
    Buffy looks at him in amazement, then me. "How - how can you be like this? You know he's a psychotic undead guy with a fondness for casual murder, right? Manson on a bad day?"
    "More like Jack the Ripper, Slayer."
    "He hangs around my room the whole time, he steals my chocolate and CDs, and he dog-ears all the pages on my books. I have a God-given right to."
    "Buy more bookmarks and I'll use 'em."
    "What do you think the little scraps of paper are for?"
    "Balling up and throwing out the window at pissed legless frat boys."
    "So are you two doing the wacky?"
    I give her a look of disgust. "Please. I have some standards."
    "Not many. My trenchcoat is considering taking you up on that offer."
  • "In the Waiting" by Rheanna: Rated PG-13. Angelus is back. Or is he? Unfortunately, I was so pleased with my powers of perception, I didn’t stop to think what she might be looking at. Which is why I didn’t see the man who clamped a chloroform soaked pad over my nose and mouth until it was too late to do anything but wonder briefly why anyone would want to kidnap a psychiatrist.
  • "No Title to Virtue" by Shrift: Rated R. Spike and the virtues... He couldn’t bloody well bite humans anymore, but he’d be damned if he would let their insurance premiums go down.
  • When Helmouths Collide - Kimberley Rector and Martha Wilson. Buffy/Hercules:tLJ crossover. Buffy, Xander, Giles and Willow are accidentally sent through a dimensional doorway to a strange new world, where they run into our favorite pair of mythological heroes, Hercules and Iolaus. Together, they uncover Ethan Rayne's terrible plot against this world. Jason, Autolycus, Xena and Gabrielle are also major characters. Yes, I know what you're thinking, but it works! Come on, give it a try! You know you want to. Everyone has doubts at first. "It's not enough we're trapped in a strange world, unable to speak the language and without any apparent means of return. No... Now Buffy seems to be married to the little blond man, Willow is dressed like a dominatrix, and Xander should fetch a fair price from a lonely barbarian. Bloody, fucking wonderful. I can't wait to see what else the day holds." He stood and stamped, adjusting the fit of the boots, and heard a crunch under his heel. Slowly, sickened, he lifted his foot away from where he had trod on his discarded clothes. His spectacles lay crushed in the dirt, having slipped from his shirt pocket. Rupert Giles nodded, letting his eyes drift shut. "Of course. That's what was missing."

• two main pairings or threesomes
  • Take Your Time and It's About Time by Carrie. W/Aus, W/S, W/A. Bloody wonderful. Willow goes back in time and meets Angel before he was turned. The twist is that it's all Spike's idea. Willow was lost, totally unprepared for the onslaught of emotions and desires that one little metaphor could unleash in her. As his dark words and even darker voice reverberated through her entire being, she could almost taste the chocolate as it passed over her lips. She felt its nutty sweetness dance across her tongue, warming and melting until it just slipped down her throat. She sighed or moaned, she didn't know which, nor did she care. She could feel that power that he spoke of now as her insides were set aflame.
  • Masters and Minions Series - Medea. A/S/W. Alternate-Universe in which Willow is unexpectedly made a vampire by a minion. The series follows her adjustment to a new existence, with the help of Angel and Spike, her vampire mentors, as well as the support of her Wiccan coven sisters, who accept her despite her demon. A world in which not all vampires are evil. Forgive. Me. Sire ... for I have fucked up royally... Red...Willow...oh, God, luv...we didn't have enough time. If I'd known it'd come to this... And I don't even get a bloody last request. No chance to ask either of you to TAKE THESE BASTARDS OUT IN A TRAIL OF BLOODY DEVASTATION. Pity. Always thought it'd be the kind of memorial I deserved.
  • "Wrapping Paper" by Ladycat: It's Xander's birthday. Spike wants to give him an...interesting present. S/X/G. "Come on, he’s such a tasty little thing."

• Angel/Spike
  • Days Of Our Unlives - Jess & Donna. Rated NC-17. Fucking awesome fic. First time I ever read the person giving the blowjob being in charge... it was lovely. Not to mention all the fun places to have sex - now I wanna go to the bookstore with ductape. He's circling me like some kind of happy insane dog. I can hear his wheels spinning. Angel is always bloody well *thinking.* He thinks while he fights, he thinks while he sleeps, he thinks while he feeds. Hell, the great ponce probably has all sorts of things floating around in that Irish wasteland between his ears while he *shags*, for fucksake. I'd bet my knackers he solves math equations and charts battle plans while getting laid. After all, he wouldn't want to get too bloody happy. Me? When I'm sleeping I'm snoring, when I'm fighting I'm fighting, and when I'm getting head my internal dialogue pretty well sounds like...'grr. ah. oh yea. baby. harder'.

• Spike/Xander
  • "Bad For You" by The Spike: NC-17 for sex, kink and darkness -- but kinda happy darkness. So very, very hot. Xander's been thinking about Spike's belt. One side smooth and cool against his heated face -- blushing. He's been thinking about this damn belt far too much...
  • "boy" AKA "gay bar" by automatedalice_: William/Xander AU. Gay bar. Very, very hot. Go read now. He's a new guy. In a new town. And the only thing messier than a new guy in a new town is a new guy, in a new town, at a gay bar. And the only thing messier than that is a new guy, in a new town, at a gay bar on fight night.
  • Chocolatey Goodness - Mad Poetess. Xander. Spike. Chocolate. One neurotic human with dark eyes and no self-esteem, one psychotic vampire with bleached hair and no self-control, falling in love. And lust. And possibly vats of chocolate sauce... It's okay to laugh. It's meant to be funny. Sometimes. (I've actually made Count Chochula treats). Off in the shadows, there's a blonde with a stake and a snotty attitude. Or maybe she has fangs. There's always a bitchy blonde, ain't there. Sitting in the middle of the stage, sucking chocolate off his fingers, is Alexander Harris, with the big gormless grin on his face and no sodding clue that Mr. The Bloody (let's call him that, shall we, since he doesn't admit to his own surname anymore) is completely, totally, suicidally in love with him--- and is terrified out of his not-so-limited, but utterly scattered wits that he's going to lose the boy. To who or what doesn't really enter into the picture. Hey, come on in. Mingle. Black-tie optional. Bring your own dip, but we've already got a nice little government chip in here to munch on.
  • "FDR" by Rubywisp: The boys go dancing. Plans go awry. And 'joys' really was too strong a word, but he seemed to have left his thesaurus in his other pants. The comfy ones, the ones made of denim, not leather. The ones that left him room to breathe, that came complete with back pockets that would have provided another whole layer of protection between his ass and Spike's crotch, which was pushing up against him and was right up there with Spike's voice and Spike's mouth in the 'way too close' department.
  • "Good Cop Gone Bad" by Wyrdchaos: A motorist gets pulled over for speeding on a lonely road. Yes, it was Xander Harris. Officer Harris, if the uniform was to be believed. Xander "Officer" Harris with two eyes and a terrific tan. A Xander Harris who had shaken off the extra pounds and bloaty look, and seemed muscle-packed into his uniform. "I thought you were in Africa? Wot's with the fancy dress?"
  • Reaching One's Limits by flaming muse: There are some things even Spike doesn't want to touch. "I'm not bloody touching it," Spike said in a voice that didn't brook argument. Xander, of course, argued.
  • "Twitch" by The Spuzz: Rated R. Really really dark, people. A dark tale of obsessive love. In retrospect, Xander realizes he never should have mocked Spike. Especially a Spike in love.

• Spike/Willow
  • Short Silly Fics: The Summer Series and Higher Learning - Saber Shadowkitten. Super cute and long series that's nice and fluffy, and has lots of Disney thrown in. "I thought you said you didn't have a job?" Martin pointed out.
    "Er, right, I don't," Spike said. "I, um..."
    "Volunteer," Willow lied quickly. "At the, uh, the...blood bank."
    Spike and Willow looked at one another, then burst out laughing. The four others at the table wondered what the joke was and they exchanged shrugs as the two calmed down.
    "Oh goddess, I'm sorry," Willow said, wiping the tears from her eyes.
    Spike shot her a grin. "Sometimes I help out at the morgue, too."
    Willow started giggling again. "How about at those nights at the cemetery?"
    "You hang around with the dead?" Martin asked.
    The redhead snorted and quickly stuffed her mouth with fries. Spike smirked. "We have a lot in common."

• Willow
  • "Five Ways of Becoming Someone Else" by Kyra Cullinan: Five Willows who never were. A study in transformations. She wakes up under Giles' desk. Limbs tangled haphazardly, and the first thing she notices is that she's naked.
