Have you got recommendations for fics with Spike hitting hard on Buffy, and she simply doesn't considerate him for a long time? Like "murphy's law" by I'm_bloody_english, but more comical stuff? Something like "Crave" by Nautibitz, if you read that one.

I haven't read Indigo Overture, but I love the other two so if it's on par with those I will for sure read it. Thanks! I'd love to hear other recs too if anyone has them (I go through stories essay too fast).

If you haven't read West of the Moon, East of the Sun, fix it. Fix it now. It is amazing, pure and simple.

Soaring claws: Indigo Overture, Promise of Frost, and West of the Moon, East of the Sun. They are all amazing stories. Enjoy!

I'm craving some new fics. Anyone have recommendations for stories with a strong Spuffy friendship/comradery before they have a relationship (ex. Drowning In You)? I love reading their playful snark fests... =)

A lot people seen to characterize him as the unrealistic image of the bad boy who's gonna change for you, but it's so much much more? The Ambiguity of the Soul is is one of the finest if not the best aspects of Buffy. Also, his personal struggle and growth fits so well in a show about growing up.

And yep, Spike hate is definitely something I steer clear of. I understand it. I had many moral qualms liking him myself, but without him, Buffy would been no where near as a great a show.

Spuffy, however, I feel, after all the pain and nastiness, ultimately achieved true love . They trust, understand, believe in depend on, seen the best and the worst of, and ultimately bring out the best in each other. I think Angel and Cordelia achieved something similar

I agree, and it's just a matter of what personally appeals to you. I can't buy into Bangel. I viewed it as a puppy love, which I accepted in a show I was cautioned would be a little whimsical at the beginning but I began to scrutinize their relationship as I watched their characters grow.

don't like it, but reading their misery is no fun. I mean, I wouldn't click an article titled, "I Have an Awful Rash and Now I Hate Life." That's how I feel looking at their recent recaps.

I used to really enjoy the Snark Squad BtVS recaps, but I just can't read them anymore. I have no problem with the fact that they hate Spike. Even if I don't agree, I understand their reasons. What I don't like is the fact that they seem to hate watching the show. It's fine if they...

Well, they just finished covering Season 4 of Angel...say no more. I just can't wait till Spike shows up in Season 5!!

I've been following Snark Squad and yeah the ladies hate Spike. They are covering AtS and don't have much to say positive at AtS right now. But they really hate Spike. I try to stay out of it. I don't comment much because the blow back can be swift and brutal. But I enjoy reading their recaps

No worries, I am now done blowing up the shout box. :)

They cover all the Seasons of Buffy and Angel, and they totally bash Spike left and right. Even though I thoroughly enjoyed their take on 50 Shades, I'm beyond annoyed how they cover BTVs.

truly know what we want for ourselves in the end. *stepping down from my soap box* As for Angel bashing, I might jab a little in my writing but I don't all-in-all bash. As for Spike bashing, if you don't want to read that definitely do not read the Snark Squad http://www.snarksquad.com/

If you choose more a relationship that is complicated, passionate, and at times, messy, you'd choose Spike. I don't think either are right or wrong, it's preference. I am a wholehearted Spuffy lover through and through, but I think we all need different types of relationships in our lives to

I might be in the minority, but I can see both sides of why readers choose between Spuffy or Bangel. The choice comes down to this: If you like the whole harlequin-type romance of being swept off your feet and you needing a man to protect you from all the nasties in the world, you go with Angel.

Sabershadowkat writes Willow/Angel that I like. I didn't think I would, but it's pretty enjoyable. And Cangel was a great match. If only it hadn't gotten blown to smithereens by all of canon fighting against it.

Totally agree with you on both Angel's development and Cangel. Love Cangel! In a strange twist, my friend and myself absolutely love Spuffy. It's who we pair Angel with that is different. I love him Cordy, she prefers Darla.

Didn't want this to take a Bangel bashing turn, but yeah, Angel was pretty one-dimensional during his run on Buffy, but all of his interesting qualities manifest during his spin-off show (#Cangel4lyfe).

of course his forehead is so big that when he enters a room his forehead go in first and angel steps in a minute later

dashuria embel
never liked bangel...even when the forehead first appeared, i never liked him, he was too broody & frowny, unlike when they introduced spike, he was very interesting & unpredictable, anyway, am not ashamed to say i'm a spuffy shipper 😝

My sister-in-law ships Bangel. I started gushing about Spike right as she started about Angel.. Awkward... I almost had to call off the wedding when I found out what craziness I was marrying into =). Everyone guesses that I'm a Spuffy shipper though. Apparently I have a type.
