buffyversetop5Somebody on the wish-list requested more Drusilla fic, and as I had this list stewing, I thought I would pop it up here now. Even if Spike is involved!
And I guess, just by the nature of their relationship, all of these fics have warnings and high ratings.
Item Title or Description: A First Time for Everything
Creator’s Name:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rayne_y_daze
Rating: NC-17
Warning: Het sex, Bloodplay
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/users/rayne_y_daze/42861.html
Why I chose this: The thing I most enjoyed about this fic was how Drusilla wielded her power. And she is powerful, able to control those around her by manipulating them. The Drusilla voice was spot-on and William, oftentimes, a timid but willing accomplice.
Item Title or Description: By Way of Pain
Creator’s Name:amybnnyc
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Heavy BDSM and bloodplay
Link: http://www.sand-in-my-shoes.com/mirror/By_Way_of_Pain.html
Why I chose this: Although this is S/B as well as S/D, this fic is all things to all people – hot, tantalising, sweet and angsty. The fic takes a look at how Drusilla has moulded and shaped Spike in her own unique way. Just a delight to read.
Item Title or Description: The Way We Live Now
Creator’s Name:labingi
Rating: PG-13
Warning: References to rape and violence
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/community/spikedru/16760.html#cutid1
Why I chose this: I thought this fic did a brilliant job of assessing what Drusilla would be like with a soul, which is a topic in itself that raises endless questions and makes us re-evaluate each of the characters within the story. Well-written, emotive and thought-provoking.
Item Title or Description: Vamp Dolce
Creator’s Name:violethamster
Rating: R
Warnings: Violence

Why I chose this: I just enjoyed how the writer took a tiny snippet from canon (the 1950s ciao! Moment in TGiQ) and turned it into this wonderfully comedic, intriguing and scary tale. Drusilla is both maniacal and funny in this – and that’s refreshing to read.
Item Title or Description: Waiting in the Fog
Creator’s Name:quinara
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Er, (non-main character) death
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/community/summer_of_spike/157843.html
Why I chose this: Set against the back-drop of 1940s Wartime London, the menace without becomes the menace within – something that is intrinsically Drusilla. Very intense and psychologically gripping.
And I guess, just by the nature of their relationship, all of these fics have warnings and high ratings.
