These are my favorite "Other" fics. Not my usual pairings, but they still managed to rope me in all the same.
Item Title or Description: Honorable Sons
Creator’s Name:
rngrdead
Rating: Mature Audiences
Warnings: M/M Sexual Content
Pairing: Spangel
Link: Honorable Sons
Note: WIP, Post AtS
Summary: The final battle came at a terrible price. Can our boys recover some of what they’ve lost? Do they want to?
Why I Chose This: The voices of Spike and Angel, as well as Willow are absolutely wonderful. This fic really has a lot to offer with both angst and some truly hilarious moments.
Item Title or Description: Stepping Up Stepping In
Creator’s Name:
cafedemonde
Rating: R
Warnings: mentions domestic violence, mature situations, violence, language, bloodplay
Pairing: Spillow
Link: Stepping Up Stepping In
Note: Completed, Set Post BtVS and AtS
Summary: Post NFA and Spike feels the need to wander for a while. Guess who he wanders across?
Why I Chose This: The first Spillow fic I ever read. I love the characterizations in this fic. The plot is original, and everything flows so well.
Item Title or Description: A Thousand Tiny Deaths
Creator’s Name:
thenyxie
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None
Pairing: Bangel
Link: A Thousand Tiny Deaths
Note: Completed, Post BtVS and AtS
Summary: They meet once a year--long enough to avoid temptation, short enough to avoid losing touch.
Why I Chose This: I've never been a fan of Bangel, in fic or in the show. I like both characters much more with other people. That being said, this story touched me in a way that few have. I love the way it is told. Grab the tissues before you start.
Item Title or Description: Loosing Eden
Creator’s Name:
bearfacedcheek
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Dark! Explicit Sexual Situations. This is Spawn and I know that squicks a lot of people especially as it's set in season 5 but it's not exactly romance. It's darker than that and I'm not sure if that makes it more or less squicky
Pairing: Spawn
Link: Loosing Eden
Note: Completed, Season 5
Summary: Post Fool for Love, Spike's anger takes a darker turn.
Why I Chose This: I always thought Spawn would squick me, and this one does, but not in the way I had expected to be squicked. It's dark, make no mistake. But the author does a beautiful job in weaving the tale. It made me love to hate Spike, which I hadn't done in a long time.
Item Title or Description: Boys and Girls
Creator’s Name:
jl1980
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: This story deals with relationship abuse, physical and psychological with one kind of disturbing scene of sexual assault
Pairing: Spara
Link: Boys And Girls
Note: I linked to my own memories bookmarking each chapter to keep you from having to search through the journal for the fic. Hope that's okay.
Summary: Starts off with Spike in an abusive relationship with Buffy, and Tara trying to help him get out...
Why I Chose This: I love the plot! Original twist on canon. I also love the voices of her characters!
It was so difficult to narrow this down to just 5! Hope everyone enjoys at least some of the rec'd fics in these posts.
