Happy St. Patrick's DayWell, it's been a dog's age since I've rec'd anything, and I've been reading up a storm. Time to share kiddies, so here goes:
First and foremost are
willa_writes's pretty much nightly
Slashed Sonnets Series. Each individual universe she's created thrives and grows exponentially and her ability to interpret each Sonnet amazes me. Not to mention the hot little
Watching You, Watching Me she came up with when she was supposed to be working. All hail the boring, unsupervised job!
eurydice72's WIP William piece,
Legions of True Hearts, has a delightful AU premise, with the meeting of William and Buffy, through his journal and 'dreams.'
Then there's
Snowbound, by
janedavitt. Totally AU human WIP, a Regency tale with the trio of Angel/Spike/Wesley.
nandibble's WIP
Blood Rites, the sequel to
The Blood is the Life, the sequel to
Enemy of my Enemy, the sequel to the start of it all,
Old Blood. Tales of Spike, vampire. Pairing is Spike/Buffy, with Spike & Dawn friendship, but the focus is all!on!Spike.
Apocalypse Laterish is the latest WIP offering by
metaforgirl. Set in the distant future, after duh, an apocalypse. Spike/Xander. Well written freaky piece, which brings H.G. Well's The Time Machine to mind. Mine, anyway.
Totally hot, is
thebratqueen's WIP
Pet. The cheeky wench has managed to sneak in a lovely plot, revolving around the trio of Angel/Wes/Spike.
Back to the Spike and Buffy, there's
More Than Strangers, an AU human WIP by
sadbhyl. Nothing interesting happens here, she says... then BAM! A must read.
We've got the tentatively titled unbeta'd
Where They Have To Take You In, unless
herself_nyc's changed it... WIP set in the future of her Bittersweets universe. Spike/Buffy and their kids Jemima and StJohn.
An outstanding series of ficlets is
itsabigrock and
sangpassionne's
Coming to Conclusions Series, a Spike/Angel conclusion to canon episodes. **fans self**
More future!fic, in
xmirax's WIP
William, wherein William is not Spike. Nice twist.
Discoveries, by
tgray. AU Human WIP - Spike/Xander, Spike/Buffy and some Angel thrown into the mix to totally bollocks things up.
Cannot forget
wherethewind__'s AU human prison WIP,
Hard Time, Angel/Spike, with Spike as Angel's bitch, and some Ditz!Buffy.
That's it - doesn't even touch on fics that are on hiatus at the moment for one reason or another. More to come when I think of it. Enjoy!
Comments
Today's recs were simply current WIPs... some of the best of the best. Of course we of the good taste having are all reading them.
When I find the gumption, I'm going to go through all the "Geeze, I really wish someone would get off their ass and finish these" fics I've got lying around, real life be damned. And then... it's off to rec the oldies but goodies.
Thousands of fics clutter my hard drive - the trick is remember the gold. Problem I find is when I open 'em to see what they are? I end up rereading and there isn't enough time in all the world to do that.
I haven't mentioned the RPGs lately, have I? Damn... just too much lovely stuff out there. Thank god.
