Strangers
They meet as strangers. They fuck as strangers. They leave as strangers. Ok, so sometimes it becomes more, but, in the meantime…dirty, anonymous sex.
Please read the warnings for individual fics, lest ye be squicked.
Most fics hosted here are sexually explicit.
All Bets Are Off by eyezrthewindows—Spike/Xander. When a drunken dare leads to cross-dressing, good Samaritan-ness leads to hot sex…and maybe something more.
Why this fic? Nobody has a quirky sense of humor quite like Eyez, and the dynamics between these two are lovely…playful and sweet and just spot-on.
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.
Eyefucks Leading to Cross-eyed and Bow-legged States by eyezrthewindows—Angel/Spike. Spike gets dragged to a club opening by his friend Faith. He’s not thrilled…but things work out in his favor.
Why this fic? Because it’s hot. Because she captures that club pick-up tension nicely. And because sometimes, names are an afterthought when you really need to be fucked.
Goodnight, Saigon by spikeslovebite—Spike/Buffy. A disillusioned soldier, determined to end it all in the killing fields of Vietnam. A heartbroken young woman, devastated by the loss of her dreams. One rainy night in Los Angeles, fate brings them together.
Why this fic? This fic has managed to win over multitudes of spuffy-schmoop skeptics. …okay, four of us. But we’re super skeptical. Sweet and solid.
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.
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.
So Damned Wet by eyezrthewindows—Spike/Faith. Spike likes buses. He wakes up to a surprise, and finds a whole new level of appreciation.
Why this fic? Spike. Faith. Porn. Exhibitionism. …what, you need a better reason?
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.
Trouble!verse by savoytruffle—Spike/Xander. Xander is working as a bartender at a tropical resort when Spike walks into his life and stirs things up. A series of one-shots in the same ‘verse.
Why this fic? Mmm, it’s like the yummiest kind of brain candy.
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?
