I Want Your Spander Recs

[suki_blue]

Here's the thing, I was into Spander for a really long time. As well as writing my own stuff, I read extensively. But when asked now to rec to a Spander Newbie, I draw a blank, many blanks. It's been so long, I can't remember the classics.

This is where you, my adorable flist come in. Could you please comment to this post with your Spander recs. Classic, recent, a little-known gem, it doesn't matter. Give it to me hard. Give me all of them. Plotty, porny, fluffy, angsty, I want it all. Pretend I'm a Newb who has never read a single Spander. My only stipulation here is that it must have a happy ending, which also obviously means no character death (although vamping is fine). Self-pimping is also yay.

Also desperately wanted are Xangel recs and X/S/A.

Could I have a link and a brief description of the fic.

Think of this a post we can flash at any Newbie who happens by.

Thanks in advance

~waits~

Come on now, whats a Spander rec list without Repossession (http://lazuli.kat.users.btopenworld.com/repossession.htm) and Changes (http://www.spanderfiles.net/arvs/tabaqui/changes/changes.html) by Tabaqui

I'm a sucker for an epic so these are my favs
5 Gold Rings (http://www.angelfire.com/planet/rngrdead/arvs/fivegoldrings/fivegoldenringsindex.html) by Rngrdead

And absolutely anything by Yin (http://spanderfiles.com/authors/yinagain.html), especially Meditation in Motion, The Hour Series and Long Time Gone

For XSA, there's New Order (http://spanderfiles.net/arvs/jasonsnene/no.html) by jasonsnene


I second the call before, you just can't beat The Spander Files (http://spanderfiles.com/contents.html), and the Spander Plus section has everything you could want.

ETA - The Crack!fic and Bad!fic at this place (http://www.sukibluefiction.com/Suki%20Blue%20Fiction/WebPages/FictionContents.htm) cannot be beaten.

Ooh but! I didn't write Repossession, that's Lazulikat....

Crap! I woke up in the middle of the night thinking BUGGER BUGGER I got that mixed up.
I was hoping I could fix it this morning before you noticed. Nope. Too late.

Sorry
*blush*

Nah, it's okay - credit where credit is due, is all.

And as i hit 'post' i realized that you can't edit your comment after someone replies to it.

Meeep! Sorry!

not your fault, Suki had already replied too.

Just my silly mistake, cause I've only just started using the html stuff and there were so many words and letters in those links, I totally overlooked that I'd not typed in her name.

I'll spam Suki with another post below to correct it.

Heeeee!
It's all good. LJ and html and all that *does* get a bit confusing sometimes.

Thanks for the sweet mention - it's nice to know 'Changes' lives on in the hearts and minds of fandom.

Thank you for all your recs, sweetie! I do like a good epic, longer the better for me.

Hee! Sometimes only crack!fic will do :oD
