5 favorite Spangel stories

[spikesjojo.livejournal.com]

Here are a few of my favorite Spike/Angel stories. Most of these contain explicit slash, none of them are workplace safe.

To Take You in - by Jessica Walker (aka Anonymous) This is a new twist on an old idea. Spike comes to Angel when he is chipped. But Jessica has a wonderful back story for Spike and Angel. The word Buffy is never mentioned, nor is Sunnydale. The story is told from Angel's POV, and the voice is excellent! http://www.fangedfour.com/fangs/fiction/anonymous.html

Time is the Fire in Which We Burn - I had to pick one story from Love that Dares, a website with all of Jenny's fiction. This is the first story in a long series. Her Spike/Angel fiction is hot, and her voices, including Wesley are spot on. I highly recommend all of her fiction. http://www.squashduck.com/ltd/spikeangelmain.htm

The Relevance of Spike - Author: stakeaclaim - "It was a big day. A hundred and twenty-five years. A quarter of the way through his second century and he’d decided today was the day it was all going to change" And it all does change, though not in ways anyone could expect. It's long, unpredictable and intricate, and it will keep you up all night. http://stakeaclaim.livejournal.com/714.html

You and I Collide - Author: spikesfool - it's dark, and painful. Spike crosses the line with Angel, and Angel makes him pay. Angel grows darker as he enjoys his payback. http://spring-spangel.livejournal.com/45738.html

Waking William - Author: Feliblanco. Spike has gotten his soul and he still has his chip. When he arrives in LA he is nearly dead from the abuse an attractive man who can't fight back, and who believes he deserves punishment, he has suffered. But the story goes off into some interesting directions beyond the h/c.

I wish I could read "Friday", I've seen it recced so many times...

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

Could you choose another story since Friday is flocked?

[spikesjojo.livejournal.com]

Yes - but it will take a day or so. I've marked a few favorites but it will take a day to decide.

Got it - for those who missed it - my final (and let me tell you that's hard! The Relevance of Spike

Oh Spangel, shiny! *___*

Friday was one of my favorite Spangel stories too when I started to read in English.

Great to see people still have their fic websites running -- it seems so many are gone these days.

I've been really pleased with what I've found! Though there are a few that I dread the chance of their closing (and could there be a clumsier sentence!) :)

Thank you so much for reccing Friday! I'm so sorry it's still flocked. I wish I could unlock it without having to repost. Damn LJ's new word count regulations. :(

It is one of the most amazing stories I have ever read! Thank you for your wonderful Spangel. I was a Spike fan from the start but it was reading Spangel that made me appreciate (and LOVE) Angel - the complexities, the pains and insecurities, and the determination to do what is right no matter the cost. You opened my eyes to someone who really has enriched my life in a lot of ways!
