Five Favourite Spangel vids

[double_dutchess]

Five (or really 6) Spangel(ish) vids, some serious, some funny.

Sisabet - The Bucket: This one just gives me all kinds of warm Spangel feelings. Not overtly slashy, but the subtext is oh so clear.

Five times NSFW hand-drawn fan art

[double_dutchess]

Hand-drawn fan art is the most special fan art to me. And it gets even better if the artists draw scenes that we could never get to see on TV or in the comics, because they're too steamy. Here are five NSFW fan art works, three Spuffy and two Spangel. Apart from the first one these are pretty recent, but (barely) not from 2017.

dualbunny - Captivated: This is an illustration of Nautibitz' Spuffy fic Captivated. Gorgeous and hot!

5 classic fics without a Xander in sight!

[sparrow2000.livejournal.com]

Last year in the classic recs season I challenged myself to rec some non-Xander related fics, since it’s well known where my fic preferences lie. Here’s what I came up this year for the same self-challenge.

If you want a demonstration of how to create humour in the midst of angst and keep it to 100 words, then look no further than Substitute by speakr2customrs and beer_good_foamy. Dawn’s up on Glory’s tower, so I really shouldn’t be giggling - right...

Five Classic Spuffy Smut Fics (That I didn't write)

[sunalso.livejournal.com]

I tend to be off playing in my own sandbox and don't bandwagon well, so I sometimes enjoy very different fics than everyone else, to the point I've been exasperatedly asked: well, don't you like ANY older fics? Well of course I do!! And I thought I'd start with some of my favorite NC-17 ones! All links are EF, which requires registration to read explicit material. And this is just a little taste- there's a lot more i enjoy...maybe I'll have to do part 2.

5 classic Xander in Africa stories I love

[sparrow2000.livejournal.com]

I think it’s fair to say that most Xander writers have tried their hand at a Xander in Africa fic at one point or another. (I know I have…) A number of them came from the scatterlings and orphanages ficathon back in 2006, and it would be easy to just point to all the stories there, but for the sake of spreading the love, I’ve chosen a couple from there and the rest from elsewhere on the interwebs

All Who Wander by Aeneas is a wonderful example of the genre. Xander goes to Libya searching for slayers. Things go downhill, fast! This story has got angst up the wazoo, but it’s also aching beautiful and if you haven’t read it, go do so, now! BTW, this is in three parts - start with part on the bottom tag - Libya)
(As an aside, but not part of this list, there’s also a sequel in which Buffy follows in Xander’s footsteps - Outpost. It’s equally lovely and I live in hope at some point it becomes more than a one-shot - a girl can dream!)

5 vids I really like

[sparrow2000.livejournal.com]

I really admire people who can put visuals together, either art or videos. I can play with words to my heart’s content, but pictures are way beyond me. Here are five vids that have got under my skin over the years.

If you’re looking for a reminder that Buffy wasn’t just about quips and kicky boots, then
Bad Mood Rising by Robin’s Revenge is just the ticket. I love the use of a much more brooding version of this song to look at the darker side of Scoobydom.
