Five kinds of poignancy

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Sometimes despair is conveyed so beautifully that you’re irresistibly drawn and in the end happy to have been. Dark S/B is good when it is luscious dark.
We're entering deeply moving territories , with some sparks of hope here and there,of course. ;)


1--When she kept showing up by pennydrdful.
PG. Post The Gift.
Part of him wanted badly, so very badly, to stop the car and turn in his seat, and just look at her. Soak her all in. But he didn’t. Partly because he was afraid if he did, she would simply disappear. Like Orpheus leading his girl out of the underworld, so very desperate, but forbidden to look back at her.


2. The Widening Gyre by cindergal.
R . Post series
Death has been a part of her life for almost as long as she can remember, and people she has loved have died before. But this is different. Everyday she sees more horror than she could have ever imagined, and that's saying a lot.


3.Scarlet and Midnight by penny_lane_42
Post S.2 AU
The world becomes opalescent like the inside of a seashell, blues and sunset pinks blessing everything, and there’s beauty again (though he now knows that beauty is just an extension of her).

4.One more night
by darklingdawns.
S.6 PG
It's a fool's paradise he's living in, close enough to see the heaven that he won't ever enter, and when she's not here Spike wonders if it's really worth the pain.


5.Damnation from mere_ubu 's fabulous "Fool for love" spaïku.

May I ask you if all the recs have to come from livejournal material? I'm going to do a vids list and a few are hosted on youtube.

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

No, they can come from anywhere - as long as they were created or still worked on in 2008.
