5 Funny Odd Couple Fics (Slash Edition)

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

We all make mistakes. To err is human, as well as demonic. Lucky for us, laughing when other people blow it is one of life’s great joys. Following are five short and sassy examples:

Love the One You’re With by BarbC rahirah (Willow/Harmony) PG13
Just look at the pairing. What more do I need to say?



Marry in Haste… by shapinglight (Drunk Giles/?) PG13
Post-series Vegas Wedding Shocker! The Drunken Giles Ficathon always yields delicious (fermented) fruit. This entry is sparkling and satisfying, with a great finish.

Squabble by ash_carpenter (Spike/Angel) R-ish, mostly for creative insults
AtS Season 5 Spike and Angel do what they do best. *points at title*

67 Characters In Search Of A Memory by beer_good_foamy (Buffy/Faith…ish) PG13
It's Dawn's prom. Yay! Unfortunately, it's also the return of the plot of "Homecoming", which means Buffy and Faith must … make things right. Or unwrong.

Doing It Wrong by thea_bromine (Spike/Giles) NC17
Season 4 Spike touches up in Giles’ bathroom. Perhaps the sweetest, gentlest “spanking Spike” fic of the year. Awww.

Oooh, I'm in your list! Thank you!

Oh yeah! Thanks for writing such a fun piece, with loads of baiting, banter, and character development to go with the naughtiness! Yummy.

Hey, looks like there's a problem with the links -- they're going to "page not found"?

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

WHY? Why, LJ you gotta add quote marks in your "improved" posting method? I do not think "improved" means what you think it means...

Ahem. That is to say, "All fixed!" Thanks for the heads up. ;-)

Haha, tell me about it -- I'm in the midst of a teeth-gritting, technology slapping, rage of my own this month against computer freezes/mouse skips/connection delays. It's enough to drive anyone around the bend.

Thanks for the mention, honey! Heh, when I saw this, I assumed it was in reference to a Spangel fic I wrote called Bicker. I'd completely forgotten about Squabble. Er, not that I ever rehash and overdo themes or anything... *cough*

But it bears re-examination when they do it so well! Besides, "Squabble" was in the correct year. For people who might want to read the prequel, Bickering, here's a link:

Anyway, thanks for the bringing the banter, darling! In any year.

Love the One You're With is so awesome!

Yes. Yes it is. I've got a terrible soft spot for Harmony/Somebody-Inappropriate (i.e., nearly anyone) fic, but this is a stand-out! I hope you like the others, too! (Links are fixed. Oopsie.)

Thanks so much for the rec, love.

Thanks so much for the fic! It's a corker! (I can't seem to stop with this analogy. Tsk.)

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Thanks a lot for the rec! Oh, and "Love The One You're With" is so good. I'll have to check the otther ones out as well.

Your story is wonderful, even if the situation isn't quite as disastrous as some of the others listed here. In fact, I sorta hope they work it all out. It wouldn't be right to laugh at them...maybe I'll chuckle at the evil genius of Dawn, instead!
