Dropping in...and some fic recs!

[caliente_uk]

After having an almost complete break from the internet for a while, I thought it was about time I showed my face again. :)

And what better way to show my face than with a couple of fanfic recs?

During my absence I've been immersing myself in Spuffy fanfic. Practically drowning myself in it, in fact. Rather than allowing myself to wallow in a bucket of self-pity (which would have been *so* easy to do *g*), I've thrown myself head first into the wonderful world that is Spike and Buffy.

So on we go with the Spuffy. :)

Let's Get Lost by herself_nyc

From the author:

A slayer on the run from her duties, and a vampire on the run from his soul, meet up in summertime Manhattan, 1997 ... and like everyone else in summertime Manhattan, head out to the East End of Long Island ....

Now complete, with a sequel planned for the future. This one has *really* started people talking. Unforgettable. Join herself_nyc_fic to read.

Heart Don't Lie by nautibitz

From the author:

An authorized sequel to OFQ (Original Fanfic Queen) Saber ShadowKitten's "Humping Like Bunnies" (Read it first! You shan't be sorry.) She supplied the brilliant title for a sequel, I went from there. In the previous story, Buffy and Spike were -- oops! -- transformed into rabbits by Willow. Humping naturally ensued. Here's the zany aftermath.

As good as complete, with an epilogue to come. Hot, funny, hot, snarky, moving, smutty, brilliant dialogue...and did I say hot? ;) Excellent! Join nautific to read.

And last but not least, the wonderful anaross has started a new Spuffy fic! Only one chapter so far:

Gimme Shelter Chapter One by anaross

From the author:

AU after Not Fade Away. Takes place in London. Giles is running the Slayer, Inc., and has bunches of teenaged girls defying his every command.

Amnesia fic! What's not to love? :)

All three fics are completely different, but are all Spuffy at they're very best. Enjoy!

And for those of you on my flist who might be interested...

I'm going to Cardiff. Yay! :D

I'm glad you're going to Cardiff Cal!

Thanks, Karen. :)

I've been meaning to thank you for the e-card you sent me. I really do appreciate it. *hugs*

Nice to see you. Hope things are okay (or okay-ish) and have a lovely time in Cardiff.

Thank you. The last few months haven't been easy and I don't really think things will settle down until after K's surgery at the end of August, but we're getting by. I probably won't be around much until September, but I'll try to pop in and check up on everyone when I can. Hope everything is going well with you. :)

I'm sure Cardiff will be just the thing we need. A relaxing few days away, plus a James gig. What could be better? :D

*hugs*

I'm glad Spuffy fics helped you at this difficult time - thanks for the recs, one more reason to read these stories which I was planning to read during the summer.
Have a nice time in Cardiff!

Thank you! Spuffy fic has proved to be a wonderful distraction from RL. :)

I'm sure Cardiff will be fun!

Thanks, Gill. Cardiff should be exactly what we need! :)

K's doing okay. She still tires easily and gets a bit down at times, but she's getting by. I think she'll just be glad when the August surgery is over and done with. *hugs back*
