This plotbunny attacked me in sleep last night. Since it is very much not the sort of thing I read, much less write, I gift you all with it:

In "Who Are You," when Buffified Faith goes looking for Riley, she finds Forrest first. When she comes on to him he decides to take Riley's girlfriend down a peg or two and gets more than he bargained for.

It's character study disguised as porn. But yeah, I'd love to see it tackled by someone with finesse.

Oh, yes. Finesse would be a necessity.

Speaking of, I just read Devil Piglet's Spike&Nikki Wood fic (it's all kcarolj65's fault) and was blown away. I didn't think it'd be possible to do that gracefully, but it was gorgeous. It's definitely going in my next recs post (which I have almost enough fics for, yay).

I love Devil Piglet! I saw that it was recced recently and it makes me want to revisit her stuff.

Yay for more recs!

I suspect you will have read most of them this time, as they're mostly from S6 on and all other Spike- or Spuffy-centric. But I'm still holding out for a new Faith/Giles fic to rec...

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Possibly. But every time I think I've read all the good stuff out there (I have read so much fanfic, it's really ridiculous), I find something I've never read before, and it's exciting!

So do you have reason to think the F/G is coming, or is this a vain hope? ;)

[snickfic]

I have about four in my "to read" list, so yes, I am mildly hopeful. At least one of them looks to be post-apocalyptic and I think another is in the Wishverse, both of which have the potential to be fabulous.

(Incidentally, I sent you an email.)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I hope they're good! And yay for both Wishverse and post-apocalyptic stuff! You know how I love that sort of thing!

(Sometime, I will probably give you my real-life email address, the one I, you know, actually check every five minutes. I don't use it for fandom because it involves my very distinct last name, but we are approaching the point where I don't care about that anymore. Feel special!)

And, yes to the every-five-minutes thing. It's kind of embarrassing, actually... *shuffles feet*

Ha! Well, I feel like you have much more of an excuse than I do, being so far from home and not having a ton of ways to connect to people otherwise. With me, it's just a straight-up addiction.
