Top 5 cliffhangers ... which all appear to be Spuffy

[lmbossy.livejournal.com]

I'm a sucker for cliffhangers ... a good cliffhanger will reel me in and keep me reading long after I should have gone to sleep. Couple that with a bit of angst and I'm yours for life ;)

I've just put the last line or two below: hopefully not enough to ruin the fic if you haven't read it ... but enough to remind you if you have *g*

Fic: In Omne Tempus - Chapter 4
Creator’s Name: hollydb
Rating: NC-17
Link: http://hollydb.livejournal.com/84187.html
Why I chose this: Then the day happened. Buffy turned fifteen. His girl turned fifteen. And everything changed.

Fic: Lost In Time - Chapter 24
Creator’s Name: spikeskat
Rating: NC-17 (WIP)
Link: http://www.bringonthebloodshed.com/spikeskat/lit_24.htm
Why I chose this: Her last thought before Buffy faded to unconsciousness was that he’d done it. Spike had managed to bag his third slayer.
Then the world tilted on its axis and went black.

Fic: Dark Slayer 1 (Black Velvet) - Chapter 11
Creator’s Name: mystd
Rating: NC-17
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/users/mystd/29224.html
Why I chose this: He started the engine with a roar and peeled out onto the street, tires smoking with a squeal.
"Where the hell did you go, Buffy?”

Fic: Regrets...I Had A Few Chapter - Chapter 10
Creator’s Name: schehrezade_1
Rating: NC-17
Link: http://community.livejournal.com/summer_of_spike/145222.html
Why I chose this: “Yeah…Spike, I got you. Come on, time to go home.”
With that, Buffy pulled him with her and they fell through the portal backwards.

Fic: Man's best friend - Chapter 8
Creator’s Name: liliaeth
Rating: NC-17 (WIP)
Link: http://liliaeth.livejournal.com/154464.html
Why I chose this: He’s just about to head up when the front door opens. The youngest girl steps in and smiles as she sees him. He's starving and all he can see is her.

Oh wow! Again I'm really impressed with the idea for the post. Another new one here and we're on the last day! Well done :) I like your summaries, they definitely make you want to read more.
Although the 4th link doesn't work...
Is the 2nd one a Human AU? Or a time-travel piece? ::is interested::

[lmbossy.livejournal.com]

2nd one is a time-travel fic set during Halloween - Ethan adds a twist to his spell which ends up sending Buffy back to the time of Buffy's costume ... and Spike gets dragged along ... plus lots of Doyle!! It's currently up to an epic 58 chapters, and still going fairly strong, although it's actually about 4 fics in one, with this bit being one of the break-points :)

I had loads of ideas back before you started, but just failed to post before the last minute *headdesk* ... but I'll be ready for next year *g*

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Oh cool that does sound interesting. Although 58 chapters and still goin - whew! What an awesome achievement! :)
I look forward to that ;)

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

Oh these are great, and what a great category you came up with!

[lmbossy.livejournal.com]

the greatness is all down to the writers ... I just had to remember which ones were memorable ... if that makes sense *headdesk*

[yourlibrarian]

Oooh, you know how to hook a reader :> Very tempting stuff, and great idea.

[lmbossy.livejournal.com]

*hee* I was torn between putting the cliffhanger in the list, and potentially spoling a bit of the fic, or trying to describe it without it ... but I'm glad it worked this way, because the writers are much better at summing it up than me *g*

[yourlibrarian]

I think there's a nice coincidence that this was the last category posted for the 2005 recs ;D

[lmbossy.livejournal.com]

*hmmm* you say "coincidence", lillianmorgan would say "me failing to get my behind in gear, even after endless nudging, and posting with minutes to spare" *g*
although probably still a coincidence as well ;)

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

This a lovely idea for a list ! Gives me the need to devour those fics !
I know In omne tempus and had such a blast dicovering each new chapter. This story is fascinating.

Thanks. :)

[lmbossy.livejournal.com]

In Omne Tempus was fabulous and kept me hooked ... although hollydb seems to do that to me with most of her fics ... and she definitely covers the heavy dose of angst as well *g*

[kathyh]

What a great category. Now I want tot go off and devour all of these fics. Thanks.

[lmbossy.livejournal.com]

go, go!! A couple are WIPs (with the last one being a bit neglected at the moment), but they are still well worth a read if you like nail-biting ;)

[cordykitten]

I still love them all :)
And maybe and update on the last one? LiT got updated today, yay!

[lmbossy.livejournal.com]

they all are goodies :) ... and I'm hoping for an update on the last one, but I'm enjoying Beloved too much to interrupt *g*
and LiT is one of my favourite joys ... I'm hanging on to my belief it's going to be around for a long time ... it's like my favourite tv series: full of twists and turns, great characters, great plot, and I don't want it to end *clings to LiT*

[cordykitten]

I'm with you here *gg* And don't forget to whine for a sequel when it's finished even when Wulfie will beat us with that ;)
