A few days ago, I saw a reference, possibly on the next-to-last Part on the message board, to a fanfic series focussing on Spike & Giles & Wesley. I read the fanfic, but forgot to bookmark it; and I don't remember the exact title or author. The fanfic began with newly souled Spike going from Africa to L.A. hoping to find Angel for advice; and looking up Wesley to help find Angel. An AU launched from there, as Wesley and Spike and Giles become involved with a particular menace, thankfully not the First...Anyway, I want to find it again and bookmark it. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. The series also involved shared viewpoints between the three protagonists, multiple writers, several chapters, then a blog, then more chapters. Kinda good. I think the title might have been something like 'Watching Over' or 'For Your Eyes'...maybe. Still kicking myself for not bookmarking it. Gail Gail: That's ""Eyes Only" and you can find it on allaboutspike either under the title or under any of the collaborating authors: Lesley, Lori or Magpie (whom Kimi knows). If you get to their home page choose "collaborations." Sue

I'm very picky about fanfics, and "Eyes Only" had some very nice moments.

This is a nice, sexy fic that I have read a few times. Its set in the summer between 4 and 5. Everyone has left for the summer and Buffy is by herself. She and Spike start a sweet little affair that is told mostly in flashbacks. I hope you like it. butterflies.so-now-im-a-freak.com/fiction/goodbyes.html

This is a really interesting one. It's called Special Purpose Vehicle by Lesley, a British author. It assumes W & H gave the amulet to Angel on the assumption HE would be the one to use it and shanshu. They're as dismayed as anybody....well, maybe not quite as dismayed as Angel...to find Spike is the one who shows up in the White Room, serving double-duty as shanshuing space. As of this writing, three chapters are up. It's competently written. The URL: www.myarseisnotpansy.co.uk/lesley/summer/spv0.htmlIf you're interested in Lesley's other work, the URL of her main website page is: www.myarseisnotpansy.co.uk/lesley/

I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see where she's going with it. I've been waiting for some fic that deals with Spike and his return to Angel.

I've been waiting for some fic that deals with Spike and his return to Angel. I read the 3 chapters so far on Monday, and went back and read them again last night. It's a very good start. I love Angel's struggle to repress Angelus. When Spike says I killed you. 'M so sorry. it just breaks my heart.

Mary,
I wanted to let you know that I've been reading Journeys and enjoying it very much. S6 started out so promising, too. *sigh*

LadyDi I too am reading Journeys. Am loving it, along with Nan's Enemy of My Enemy, Kallysten's Whose Destiny, and Xionin's How Many Days. Kallysten and Xionin can both initially be found on fanfiction.net. I recommend going to their websight's though (updates occur faster). I'm so greatful that I stumbled upon this site, seeing as how I am now addicted to fanfic (work be damned ). Almost as good as Spike dreams/dreams of Spike ). Rana

I'd like to enter a plug for Joshua Adams's story "Distance," which is located right here on our site.
It's an interesting period piece, featuring the original gang of Spike, Dru, Angelus and Darla in 19th century Europe (obviously). Very tightly written, with a lot of the kind of nastiness one would expect from the vampires in that period, though Spike's love for Dru shines through.
It also has a nice, tight plot that leaves one guessing, and it's not an all-day read by any means. You can read all six chapters in 30 minutes with no problem. I have been remiss by not giving Josh props before this, but I'm trying to rectify it now by giving him a long overdue post in the Fanfictional area (the only one, which is a shame) and "pimping" it over here.
Give it a try. It has a dark, world weary kind of style that I like a lot. I find myself envisioning a cloudy, misty sort of atmosphere...filled with foreboding and menace. No one is particularly lovable here...that alone is a refreshing change from most fanfic.
You may not want to live in the world Josh writes in...but it's darkly fascinating to visit.

Here's a site I found devoted to post-Chosen fanfic only: chosen.blueberry-scone.com/It's called "Beyond the End." I have only begun to check it out but I thought others might also be interested so I'm sharing.

In case you are unspoiled for S5 tidbits, you will not want to see the new fic at AllAboutSpike by Wisteria called Purgatory and the Human Condition featuring Spike and Angel in the newest conjecture about the manner of Spike's return. Only the opening section is posted yet, so it promises to be a substantial work, and Wisteria is a good writer. So others less wary of S5 possible spoiler plots may want to look it over.

This is a WIP, four chapters done so far. All the characters and dialogue and plotting are holding up very well. It's S5 Angel, with Spike, Buffy, Willow, Lilah, and Connor (so far) and the unraveling of the bargain Angel made to take over Wolfram and Hart. It's called "Fortune Favors the Brave" by Shoshanna. chosen.blueberry-scone.com/fic/shoshanna_fortunefavors01.html

Loved the bit with Connor having the nightmares and the whole Willow thing . . . thought that was a stroke of genius.
