Rare Character Recs: Tarantula, aka Spike's Date to the Wedding

[rebcake]

Here are two wonderful fics featuring Spike's punkette date to Xander's wedding that wasn't. She is nameless on the show, but is identified as "Tarantula" in the credits. But that's just silly, so nobody calls her that in these stories.

Thank you for the rec, sweetie. :)

Your story is like catnip to me: outsider POV, rare character (female!), Spike getting a little affection... *mwah*

Shoot. Mintwitch explained the ending to me once, but I've forgotten the explanation. :P

Those smarty-pants math whizzes! They hog all the best private jokes!

I was hoping I'd recognize the joke, or could figure it out, but no such luck. :-(

Thanks for the rec, Reb! The story was awesome.

¡Yay! A new convert! There are a few stories that are just so delicious that I want EVERYBODY to read them! These are on the list.

I love both of these, have read them before, they are fabulous!! Don't know the joke though.

These are definitely on my list of favorite fics, ever. They are both fun, sweet, and a little scary. Buffyverse, ftw!

I've read the first one, and loved it. Excited to see the second as it's new to me!
