5 Classic Spangel fics

[elisi]

Spurred on by red_satin_doll here are five classic Spangel stories that I particularly love. (Someone already recced Friday, or that would have been top of the list, obviously. Also I don't have anything by Kita - sorry!) Have tried to list the fics as they happen within the shows' timeline.

1. Nothing Else Matters by estepheia. Summary: Having been beaten up by Buffy [in Dead Things] Spike drives to L.A. (This was the fic that brought me on board the Spike/Angel slash train. It is amazing and very hot.)

2. Lament for the Dead by stir_of_echoes. Summary: Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime/Therefore, we are saved by hope [...] (Post-Destiny. If you take 'that one time' literally, this could be it.)

3. His Body A Boat by romanyg. Summary: Some sex, some violence. Wha'd'ya want? It's S/A. (If you want 'classic' you can't get more classic than this. Absolute, pared-down perfection.)

4. Vicarious (redux) by lynnenne. Summary: Spike and Angel share their memories of Buffy. In bed. (Set post-TGiQ. The perfect coda.)

5. Desert Pixies Made Us Do It by nomelon. Summary: Angel and Spike in the desert. Stuff happens. (Could be post-NFA. Also, the summary doesn't do it justice - this is quite simply one of the funniest fics in existence!)

Totally my pleasure! :)

Spangel, yay! I started to read in English also because there were so little Spangel in Italian. XD I read "Vicarious" and "His Body a boat" and they are gorgeous. Thanks for the others!

[elisi]

Enjoy them all, I tried to find those that had stayed with me all this time.

Great to see these!

[elisi]

I'm sure you recognise most of them...

Yay, spangel recs! And some of them are new to me, thanks!

[elisi]

Yay! Then I have chosen well. :)

Cool list. I'll have to check some of these out.

[elisi]

Enjoy, they are all wonderful. <3

I've only read # 2 and # 5, but I love them both, so I'm excited to read the rest of these.

[elisi]

You have good taste already, enjoy the others! :)

Thanks for the rec. I love all these others. "His Body A Boat" is one of my favourite fics ever, in any fandom.

[elisi]

It was hard to choose, but I think Vicarious is THE fic of yours to rec for Spangel...

(And I felt I had pretty much a moral duty to rec His Body A Boat - it's one of those stories I can't imagine not knowing.)

I adore Estephia's writing but I'm not familiar with this one, which is excellent because I now have it to look forward to. ;-)

Goodness, you've missed out so far! Enjoy. :D
