And here we go for the second batch of " beautifully written stories that gave me undiluted pleasure."

Onto part 2.

Title: No title for now! A little bit of fanfic.
Author: crackers4jenn
Pairing, Characters: Spike/Buffy , Angel.
Rating: PG13
Link : http://www.livejournal.com/users/crackers4jenn/167300.html#cutid1
Description : Set right after the sword-sweep of NFA. A Spuffy reunion in the middle of the alley , and would you believe it ? You get some bantering , smiles , and poignancy in a wonderful package.


Title :Take heart
Author : db2305
Pairing , characters : Spike/Buffy
Rating : NC17
Link :http://home.planet.nl/~dutchbuffy2305/take_heart.htm
Description :End-of-world Scenario: The Initiative wins. Riley still mind-controlled , and Buffy still kinda-sorta that Super Slayer combo form from "Primeval," very primitive and superhero-y and freaky. She needs Spike's help..
There is magic , snarky Spike , fantastic sex scenes AND romance.
The unique and gorgeous imagery of Dutchbuffy.


Title : Maybe someday.
Author : elisi
Pairing , characters : Spike/Buffy , Angel , Illyria , Dawn ..
Rating :PG13
Link: http://www.147days.com/stories/somedaydex.html
Description :Set several months post NFA. Buffy meets Spike who is busy fighting demons in Rome , at Angel's side.
Sweet Buffy /Spike interaction , and great portraying of Angel. Fair to the characters and their motivations.


Title:Collide
Author : enigmaticblues
Rating : PG15
Pairing , characters: Spike/Buffy , Dawn, Tara, Willow,Alex
Link:http://www.freewebs.com/enigmaticblue/collide1.htm
Description :A season 6 fic where everything rapidly goes AU after "Smashed." What if that house-demolishing in Smashed was a metaphor with a different meaning than the writers gave it? What if that night marked a release of a different sort?
Note : WIP
If you desperately need to think differently about season 6 , you will be swept away by the quiet beauty of this tale.


Title : "Symphonies of echoes"
Author :eurydice72
Rating : NC17
Pairing :Spike/Buffy
Link:http://lubakmetyk.infinology.net/others/eurydice/echoes1.htm
Description :Sequel to Legions of True Hearts( in which -post graduation-, a restless Buffy went to London to escape the memories of Angel, only to lose herself in unexpected dreams. A confused Buffy is now trying to get on with her life, but Spike's promise to stand by her haunts the Slayer. Her past collides with her future, forcing her to decide which---and who---she can trust.
Note : WIP.
It's simply a breathtaking exploration of the aftermaths of the events in London between Buffy and William. Fantastic plot and incredible romance.

I like reading your descriptions and what you enjoyed about the stories. The fourth one in particular sounds like it will reel me in ;>

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Thanks ! I have real pleasure in doing this.
"Collide " is a clever and amazing re-write of season 6 , I'm sure you'll enjoy it.And she updates regularly! :)

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Thanks again for a great list. I've only read one of these (I *thought* I'd read C4J but no... ::shakes head::) so I'm really looking forward to diving in.
Your descriptions really bring the stories to life, and thanks for rating etc.

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you! I'm happy to know that there's a fic you didn't read!
Maybe it's because enigmaticblues just started it .
I'm trying to write a little something each time.. those stories bring me all kind of joys. :)

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

And I realized I made a mistake when you talked about C4J , it's Crackers of course.*slaps head*

Run to read , it's a wonderful little piece , with an ending..
:)

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

Lovely lists from you. I'm glad you are doing these.

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

You're welcome , Jan !
I have fun talking about them . :)

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[mbangel10.livejournal.com]

I adore C4J fic!

Take Heart was definitely a wild ride... DB2305 is very imaginative.

elisi's story I haven't read yet! I love discovering new Spuffy fic! Thank you!

Enigmaticblues is such a wonderful storyteller. I've read most of her stories but I'm saving Collide until I've finished Avocation.

I started reading Legions a few months back and just couldn't stop. It was an amazing story. I'm half way through Echoes and I'm loving every minute of it. Now I just need to find the time to get caught up!

:)

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Crackers is a great storyteller, and that fic touched me very much.

'Take heart' is indeed a very wild ride ! DB 's imagination is a firework.

As for 'Echoes' , it's true that it's a story of epic proportions .
Thanks ! :)

*holds head in hands* I just read 'Take Heart'. Good Lo*rd. I read her warnings but it wasn't a bit like I expected. Geez. *blinking quickly*

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Hey , I have to admit that it was sometimes .. *blinking with you*

So powerful and intense , isn't it ?
Spike's characterization is perfect according to me.

[danaid-luv.livejournal.com]

"So powerful and intense , isn't it ?"

Yes, gripped me by my...well, the female equivalent of a fella's 'dangly bits'. And on more of an emotional scale. ;)

Hey, and meanwhile, Happy Birthday! I've seen it flashed all around my f-list and it occurs to me that (a) it's you, and (b) you must be fun to have so many wishing you well... so (c) it's on a bit of a lark, but mind terribly if I friend you? You'll mostly just gain access to photos of two adorable little boys. Heh.

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize that The Crypt hadn't the whole story. Now you can savor the following chapters , and you'll have a blast ! DB's writing got me hooked , and you will like the ending too.

Friend away , it's so nice to have new friends!
Thank you for the birthday wishes , I didn't look at my flist for now but it's so lovely to guess that I have messages waiting for me :)

I have two adorable big boys myself. ;-)

[danaid-luv.livejournal.com]

*squinching w/ one eye* You're *sure* I'll like the ending? Because what I read squeezed my heart and left me a wee bit miserable. (trying to not spoiler) But if you say so?...

Friended! ...and two boys, too?! *smiles*

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

I assure you that you'll like the ending! Of course it's a roller coaster of emotions all along , and you can't say that it's a romance in the traditional sense of the word , but the Spike's voice is stunningly beautiful , Buffy ins't a bitch , yet she's perfectly in character , and it's beautifully believable. :)

[db2305.livejournal.com]

If the blushing writer may chip in here - Thank you so much for including me in your list!

And can I ask you to link to my site instead of the Crypt? Because the Crypt only has the original story, which later became the first chapter of the whole extended story!
It's :

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Done !
Hope you're feeling better , blushing writer . :)

[danaid-luv.livejournal.com]

Oh Go*d, there's more? *rests head against keyboard a moment and chuckles* You about killed me with the first chapter. I'll have to gird my loins before stepping in for more...

Mine was the comment right before yours--I apologize for not leaving feedback on *your* page rather than just here--it really hit me in a big way and I wasn't sure if I'd choke out a 'thanks' or a rant on big mean fics that leave one gasping and hurt. *weak grin* Err, thanks? :)

[elisi]

Yet another blushing writer here! ::hugs you tightly:: And I've faaaar too little time for reading these days... and now I really, really want to read some Spuffy! Maybe just a peek at c4j's story, since I've been meaning to read that anyway!

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, Elisabeth!

Jennifer's story is a short piece ,it should not take too much of your time , and you'll love it , it's really well done.

:hugs:

[crackers4jenn.livejournal.com]

You recced me! And for fanfic! *blushes*

I'm loving your Spuffy recs, especially because you have some I haven't read yet. Which means I'm off to read! But I just wanted to thank you for reccing one of my stories, especially on this list of brilliant authors and wonderful stories. Thank you! :)

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

You're welcome , Jennifer! You know I love how your write , I love your characters' s voices , and your 'little bit of fanfic' without a name was just wonderful.

Glad if I provided some new reading material.

[eurydice72.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the rec, hon! Collide is on my list of stuff to read, which has just been expanded further, thanks your lists. :)

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

You're one of my fav writer for so long, it was easy to put you here. :)
