You know those fics where in the middle of a sex scene a character starts comparing their current lover to all their former lovers, who invariably come out badly? Well, this isn't one of those. I'm not sure exactly what it IS, but it's not one of those ( Read more... )

Just... wonderful :)

See, I stay up late and endlessly hit 'refresh', and sometimes, just occasionally, I'm a winner.

I love the poignant regret about Angel. I'm right there with her about Parker; the less said about him except with a fist, the better. I want to be sad with her about not needing Riley, except I could never stand him, not for a moment - but it's true, he needed to be needed. Mind you, I balk at accepting the idea that he was any good with his tongue - but that's just me.

And Spike.

Oh my.

You've done wonders, over the years, of showing us Buffy's thoughts and emotions. Given us the motivations that for the last couple of seasons were getting a little blurry. Sex with Spike is nothing special, because everything with Spike is special. It's just another part of the entire package, and that's what lets her find her balance at last ( ... )

He lives, like she does, at 110% of the maximum safe rating, and it could all blow at any seam, and they both know it.

That is just so totally... perfect. Yes.

And also, I agree with you. Yay for late night LJ browsing! And Yay! for more Barb!Fic...

Yeah, now I just have to write something where I can include it for myself. Fic writing through comments. Huh. Could work.

shaddyr November 1 2005, 06:07:41 UTC

Absolutely. I have had several fics that started as conversations about characterization, and what would he say/she say, and the comment turned into conversation or exposition and boom. Fic.

Do it. I wanna read it. Keep me posted, hmm?

I love this! Wonderful Buffy voice. I particularly adore the comparison of the Buffy/Spike love to crab grass.

This is where I'm traditionally supposed to go on about how Spike's better-hung than all my previous boyfriends and how none of the others wanted to go down on me and how his come tastes like champagne, but really? Riley and Angel were both pretty darn good with their tongues, and any guy who lives on pig's blood, alcohol, and junk food is going to taste gross, and compare-and-contrast with the boy-parts is el mondo tackioso.

Thank you for this. :)

I have been told by people who ought to know that if a guy doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, and avoids red meat, he tastes significantly better. And the chances that my Spike's going to manage any of these things approaches zero. *g*

Well, it's a wonderful whatever it is. :-)

rahirah October 31 2005, 16:16:13 UTC

Thanks!

1. A thousand Angel- and Riley-bashing fanfics have made me slightly ill, and here is the antidote.

2. The last two paragraphs are startlingly in line with the seasonal_spuffy thing I'm working on. Eep.

3. me and Spike? Crab grass. OH MY GOD could I possibly have a bigger crush on your writer-self? *vanishes in a puff of embarrassment*

Sing it, sister. I spent much of Writercon hanging 'round Barb like a big doof, mumbling, "You're so awesome."

rahirah October 31 2005, 16:30:04 UTC

*g* It just seemed apt, somehow.
