Five Spike/Buffy fics that I loved madly

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

We’re talking beautiful angst , heart moving emotions, sometimes teary eyes but..
But.. can you guess ? The ending will leave you satisfied. :)
My list goes from the less angsty to the most aching roller-coaster.

"What is it? Spike- what's the matter?"
Buffy reached out, but he was gone, melting through her fingers like moonlight.
"Sorry, love," he muttered. "I can't do this."

2.Back porch

And this is complete: home : a back porch: Spike.

3.Only time will tell. by dampersnspoons

Post series, historical, time travel
His movements were lethargic ,linking his fingers with hers ,holding their hands above her head as he looked down at her ,making love to her in a way she’d never allowed Spike to in the past.

4.Mother's day by rahirah
Rating :PG
Post Btvs s.5 A.U
But Joyce was already taking in the lack of bleach, the deeper lines on his face, the ring on his left hand. "Oh," she said, her hand going to her heart. "I - oh. Buffy. You said you were happy. You said I had grandchildren!"
"You do, Mom!" she said pleadingly, taking her mother's hand and helping her to the couch.

His uncertainty chilled her—he'd been putting up a very brave face, but the amnesia was a burden on him. How would it be, to try to manage without any real grasp on your sense of self?

Great list - but the "Distance" fic is not sowing up on that link. Do you have another link for it?

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

It does show up on that link BUT you have to be a member of herself's fiction to read it.

[debris4spike]

I wondered if that was what was happening.

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Sorry. I've changed the link and it works now.

[debris4spike]

Thanks - they are a great list, but then as soon as I saw your name, I knew they would be!

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

:)

These are unmissable if you love Spuffy.

Thank you!

[shapinglight]

Thank you very much for the rec. I appreciate it enormously.

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. I enjoyed your story more than I can say.Your characterizations of Buffy and Spike are so wonderful.

[shapinglight]

Thank you. That's very kind of you.

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

Excellent choices!

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Thank you .:)

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

Wonderful list! :)

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

I'm happy that you share my enthusiasm.:)

[louise39.livejournal.com]

All lovely choices. Thanks for the reminders.

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Thanks !
And the endings leave something looking like peace in our hearts.

Always good to see people continuing a series or writing longfic. There's nothing like being able to sink into a good story (even if on most days the small bites may be the most manageable!)

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

even if on most days the small bites may be the most manageable! True .:)
I admit being very fond of rich verses created by fanfic authors.

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

This is a fantastic collection.

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
Aren't we lucky spuffy shippers ?:)

A request

[clawofcat.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the recs! You're a really well read Spuffy fan. Do you think you also might be able to do a list with "hidden gems?" All of those fics/authors listed above are really well known and get a good amount of attention. I'd love to be introduced to some "unsung" writers. Since I'm just not as entrenched in reading Spuffy anymore, it's rare that I find them.

Re: A request

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)
Isn't it wonderful to think that in this list we have two completely new spuffy authors who started offering reading-gifts only since a few months ago? I'm thankful to Penny_lane and Dampersnspoons for their gorgeous contributions.
Do you think you also might be able to do a list with "hidden gems? This is a lovely suggestion and I might be able to think of something !

Re: A request

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Hi,
my next post here will attempt to answer to your request.
I'm not sure there are gems that are still hidden , but I tried to gather five lj links on interesting stuff that you may not have heard about,or so I hope. :)

[dampersnspoons.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the rec! Wow, what an honor to be among those four authors!

(Herself's Distance happens to be one of three fan fic stories that made me all-out sob. It's painful stuff.)

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Wow, what an honor to be among those four authors! I think we're pretty comfy here,in this spuffy heaven. :) I'm thrilled you're thrilled !

Distance is excruciating but what a reward in the end.

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

This is a great list. I've just now found dampersnspoons and am looking forward to catching up on her fic.

Distance was the first WIP I ever read, and what a ride!

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

These are really unmissable according to me. ;-)
"La crème de la crème"!

dampersnspoon 's tales make my heart swell with joy.
