Long, plotty Spuffy fics from 2012!

[zanthinegirl.livejournal.com]

Time's Fool by Lady Jane at the Bloodshedverse, or at Elysian fields (may need to register to read at EF) Spike/ Buffy "eventually NC17" though it hasn't gotten there yet.

Future fic. Decades down the road Spike and Buffy meet up again for the first time since Sunnydale. Plotty goodness. A really interesting and believable future for Our Heroes. Great characterizations, and believable motivations. Also, the author gets the medical details right. I appreciate that! Warning: still a WIP

Top Five Best New! Spuffy Authors of 2012

[spuffy-luvr.livejournal.com]

I apologize for another Spuffy post... (but it's pretty much the only fanfiction I tend to read).

You ever feel like you don't want to invest your time in any new authors, because you don't want to be disappointed?  Here are five authors new to Spuffy and the Buffyverse within the last year.  All are talented writers who know what grammar is and how to use it, are quite adept at a clever turn of phrase, can plot with the best of them, and keep our heroes and sidekicks the characters we know and love without any blatant character-bashing (not even Angel!).   These authors get bonus points for avoiding OverlyBitchy!Buffy/Saintly!Spike.
