The Bad Seed by meretrix—various pairings (slash). Riley is dead, whodunit.
Why this fic? I love the hard-boiled-cop-show feel of this fic. The whole story is told through the interrogation of various characters, and her storytelling in this fic rocks my socks off.
Pity Fuck by meretrix—Angel/Spike. It's Angel's first pride. He takes a road trip to San Francisco, because he's eighteen now, and out of the closet, and it's something that you have to do once in your life. He meets someone at the parade. Someone dangerous and older. *waggles eyebrow*
Why this fic? Because it’s hot. Because I said so. Because the only thing better than Queer as Folk is QaF-turned-Spangel.
Pretty Baby by meretrix—Angel/Xander, implied Angel/Spike. When Xander orders a hustler, both parties get more than they bargained for.
Why this fic? She writes this type of gritty reality so well. She brings sympathy and life to these characters in a way that’s just beautiful. In the ugliest way.
Street Hassle by meretrix—Angel/Spike. A stand-alone sequel to meretrix’s Angel/Xander fic “Pretty Baby,” this fic follows Angel out of drug rehab. When he runs into his old friend Spike, will the lure of his old life be stronger than his desire for a new one?
Why this fic? Not only is it an intriguing story in its own right, but this fic can also be read as an allegory for canon: Angel’s soul, the lure of family, blood as addiction. The spangel dynamics are spot-on. Plus, it’s hot.
