My favorite AU slash fics of the year.

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

I love AU fics when done well. These are all very different. They are all dark!slash. Some I've reced before, some not. Please enjoy, and I'd be interested in hearing what you think!

*Some of these you may not consider precisely AU, but let's say they have 'world building' elements even if they don't precisely fit that category.


1. Bent Justice by toobusy2write. Spike is an undercover agent out to crack a drug ring in prison. Angel is the dark, dangerous prisoner who runs the block. Fireworks! AU human spangel NC 17, status: complete.

2. Beautiful Broken by lit_gal. Spike finds Xander in a horrible state, broken into a sexual submissive. They evolve a unique and beautiful relationship through a dark world. Like Bent Justice, this is a classic story. NC 30, status: complete with sequel on-going. Xander/Spike.

3. Furnitureverse by deborahmm Wesley is drawn into the dark and kinky world of Spike and Angel and their D/s games and finds himself falling in love with Spike, but can a human love a vampire so different from himself? This is a story with a lot of dark kink which may upset tender readers, but its a classic. NC 30, status: complete. Spike/Angel/Wesley

4. Honor by Incasink Angel is an assasin samurai, Spike is a whore. This is the best thing she's done yet, and I adore her writing! NC 17 AU human spangel, status: only four parts so far, new fic.

5. Battleground by _sharvie_ Spike and Xander are in a place called Warverse where Spike must fight in gladiator-type battles and endure the sexual molestation of a dark leader while Xander is his valet. Not for the timid! NC 30 AU spander, status: only one part, new fic.

Thank you dark!fic slash writers of 2005.

Thank you! I feel feel less of a freak for having a love of these dark and intense stories. I really love them all and hope for more from the last two.
