Fic recs

[estepheia]

So, yesterday was International Feedback Day. I didn't read a lot yesterday, so I barely sent feedback, but since I usually send feedback whenever I read something I like, I guess I'm excused. I could do what harmonyfb is doing, she's recommending a bunch of stories in her LJ, she's even recommending a few slashy stories, like fitofpique's Keeper, but if you look at my proper LJ page (instead of reading my posts via your friends page) you will find a list of story-links in the left sidebar. I'd mostly recommend those again anyway....
Oh well... why not. Maybe a few recs (all older stories, which fandom newbies might not know yet)...

Chelle - Walking After Midnight-
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Buffy/Spike
Summary: Buffy is injured while fighting a demon and finds herself paralyzed and in a wheelchair. Spike, needing a place to hide from demons, takes on the task of caring for Buffy while Joyce works.
Comment: Solid h/c story. Spike is fluffier than canon dictates, but sometimes that's quite alright with me.

Rachel Anton - The Snakepit
Rating: R
Pairing: Spike/Lilah
Summary: Spike gets an offer.
Comment: Nice voice. Nice ending. Love the last line.

Avalon - Love is Blind
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Buffy/Spike
Summary: When Buffy is blinded, Spike, of all people, becomes her only hope.
Comment: Probably my favorite S/B story. Ever. I'm a sucker for h/c if it's not too sappy. I also enjoy a good plot. There are stories out there that are more fancy, but this one pushes my buttons.

Kayla - Sweet Memories
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Summary: Spike and Xander wake up without their memories, but circumstances suggest that they are a couple... Fluff and porn ensue.
Comment: I think this story is adorable. Fluffy, certainly, but it's an entertaining read with well written smut scenes. Cute.

Juliatheyounger - Escape
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Summary: Post-Entropy - Arguing leads to kissing leads to more....
Comment: Hot. Covers some of the issues I had with how the Scoobies treated Spike - without being too soap-boxy. Or maybe it is a bit soap-boxy but I don't care. Also: hot. Unfortunately there are a few perspective shifts, but let's not quibble.

"Love is Blind" rocks the house. I need to re-read that...
