Power Games
Fic that features Dom/sub dynamics, official or unofficial. Sometimes these portray unsafe or unhealthy BDSM practices, so you know, don't try that at home.
Most fics hosted here are sexually explicit.
Closer by felisblanco—Liam/Will. Will is a lonely club-goer looking to make a connection…but an encounter with a dominating stranger might turn out to be more than he bargained for.
Why this fic? Felis writes Grade A angst. This fic has interesting things to say about the emotional complexity of power play and the gray areas of consensuality.
Kept Boy by thatotherperv—Spike/Xander. Xander has a sugar daddy.
Why this fic? This story, on the surface, is all about life's practicalities, and the mechanics of a partnership built on convenience. But what blooms underneath the surface is a surprise to both of them.
Lucky No. 13 by eyezrthewindows—Spike/various (het and slash). Spike has a kink for virgins, and he doesn’t care who gets hurt satisfying it.
Why this fic? It’s evil. It’s bastard!Spike at his finest. And the ending rocks.
Mainline (PDF) by inca—Spike/Liam. Liam is a shattered coke addict in rehab when he meets Spike. Spike is sexy and powerful…intoxicating and addictive.
Why this fic? The fic itself is *addictive*. sucks you right in, and she pulls off the plot device gorgeously. And the ending is pure brilliance. One of my favorite fics of all time.
Subspace by toobusy2write—Angel/Spike. Days after Spike turns eighteen, he gets sucked into a whole new world by a mysterious man, but is it one he's ready for?
Why this fic? Forget that the concept is kinktastic. This fic has so much *heart*, and it drags you right into Spike's discovery of his place in the D/s world…the high and the vulnerability, the risks and rewards.
Trucker by ladycat—Xander/Spike. Xander has a reputation for giving pretty young things a safe lift. But that's pretty girls. Pretty boys are a different thing altogether.
Why this fic? it's canon. ...what, Xander wore a trucker hat once, right?
The Wrong Guy ‘verse by entrenous—Angel/Xander. A collection of one-shots in which Xander is the live-in love-monkey for an older, wealthy Angel.
Why this fic? Oh, so hot. Angel knows what he wants, and he knows how the world works…Xander's only just begun to learn.
