spuffy_noelleI hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, whether you were celebrating Thanksgiving or not. I was in Florida celebrating with my family, and enjoying the sun and warm weather. I was able to read a few great fanfics while I was away, and though I'm sure these aren't new to anyone else, they were new to me.
>> I finished Long Time Gone by Bitterness. What a terrific story. Spike and Buffy's relationship was so complex, and well developed. I'm a sucker for AH/AU baby-fics. I've also never read a story that paired Dawn/Oz together, and I was surprised to find I didn't mind it, even though I really prefer Willow/Oz. I love Spike and Dawn's seasons 5 & 6 relationship, and I love to read fics where they share that sibling-like bond. If you haven't read this story, I highly recommend it.
>> More Than Strangers by Sadbhyl. This fic was the perfect mix of hotness and angst. Another AH/AU. Buffy is in an unhappy marriage, and she meets a handsome stranger in a cafe. I feel like I must have read this fic already, but either way I thoroughly enjoyed it!
>> Another Bitterness fic, Impossible part of The Triad series. Set in an AU post-season 6. Buffy becomes pregnant as part of a prophecy, and the gang bands together to protect her and her unborn child against the evil that wants to destroy them. Bitterness has a great way of telling a story, one that I find really unique. Her stories are Spuffy, but she has a great way of intermingling story lines to include the rest of the gang.
>> Let's Get Lost by Herself. NC-17 fic set post-season 2. Spike happens upon Buffy in NYC. They're both feeling lost and alone and decide to do something about it. If anyone has read this fic, I'd love to hear what you thought of the ending. I was slightly confused if it was left up to the reader's interpretation or if I'd just missed something.
Told you I got a lot of reading done! I also had a lot of time to think about a few plot bunnies I have running around in my head which will hopefully turn into me doing a lot of writing.
