Oh, believe me, I'm there with you. Every time I try to sort through my FF database (yes, I know, I'm probably listed on the DSM IV-R as my own special disease category) looking for some specific thing to round out a nom set, I'm astonished at how hard it is.
You asked for specific requests before, and I apparently didn't reply. (I thought I'd replied. Brain getting ahead of the fingers again, I guess.) Happy fic of any stripe would be a real bonus in this fandom, since lots of what I'm reading right now could be summed up as "angst angst sex angst death angst the world ends," but really, I'll appreciate anything that's well-written. Well, almost anything - I can't handle animal deaths or suffering. There're some things I prefer to avoid, but I'll make exceptions in most cases not involving animals. Oh, and anything funny would be very much appreciated.
I'm happy with any pairing, really - Spike/Whoever-but-most-likely-Xander has been working just fine for me - but I do need to explore the Spikeless sooner or later. (Isn't there *any* fic with Angel? Although, really, I can't blame FF writers for not wanting to write about him.) At this point, I've read so much Spikefic that the show might as well have been called Spike the Dead Sexy Vampire.
Thanks for your help. I do know how tough it is to come up with recs, and I'm always grateful to my reccers. You people make the scary fandoms accessible to me, and I love you for it.
