Freedom by purplefeenWhen Spike grows tired of being beaten down in his relationship with Buffy, he finds solace in a D/s relationship with Willow that blossoms into something that changes both their lives for the better. This is an adult story for adult readers who are looking for something both affecting and erotic. No one writes sexy Spillow better than ( Read more... )

These five stories are some of the finest epic length W/T centric fics I've read. I have all of these printed and bound and they have brought me much joy. I should note that some of these fics deal with the canon events of Seeing Red, but all ultimately end happily.

Sorry. It's a bit of a naff description, but I'm not in the right headspace to categorise properly.

These are five fics I really enjoyed in 2009. They don't have anything in common and one of them (tragically) is a WIP. I have another post's worth of recs for another day, which is similarly lacking in an overall theme.

There are lots of great Giles fics out there and I recommend the summer_of_giles community as a good place to look for them. The ones behind the cut are five particular favourites of mine.

I've loved Spike/Fred since the summer that BtVS ended and we learned that Spike was moving to AtS. I wasn't alone; quite a few Spike/Fred fanfics cropped up at that time, and these are some wonderful examples.

Dawn is a great character *as well as* a great plot device. She's a teenager, hence, pretty inpredictable. She's a Key, so she can have unusual hidden powers. She's a creative person - ergo, she can indulge in unexpected hobbies. She's a Slayer's sister, literally made from Buffy - so she can be self-sacrificing, petty, courageous, bossy, sweet ( Read more... )
