Cal's Journal

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

Here we go. The first of my fic rec posts.

Warning: Many of the fics recc'ed here are rated NC-17. That means that they're suitable for adults only. Please don't read unless you're old enough.

All fics are Spike/Buffy unless otherwise stated.

More to come...

The buffyversetop5 community is open for business again. Some wonderful recs have already been posted, so go take a look...and if you can think of a Buffyverse top 5 list of your own, go for it! :)

kallysten has finally finished In Fire and Blood, which imho is one of her best Spuffy stories yet! Take heed of the warning (it's there for a reason), but put your trust in kallysten and you won't be disappointed. I wouldn't have missed this story for the world! :)

Two other stories I must rec (even though they've been finished for a little while) are Under the Sun by enigmatic_blue (which is the sequel to Avocation) and Beg the Liquid Red by eurydice72. Two excellent stories which are a must read! I'm a huge fan of both of these writers and they've never let me down yet. Just wonderful! :)
