Spike and Angel!

[51stcenturyfox]

You know, I never really got into Angel/Buffy (unrepentant Spike/Buffy shipper here) but Spike/Angel? Hellllllo, dolly!

There is a "The Girl In Question" fic challenge on right now at grazieprego   Entries for the "Grazie Prego Kiss Kiss" Spangel ficathon are due April 30th.

And I wanted to post this hot video - another one from giandujakiss  Buh.

Oh... boys.

I know I'm on your mind
I know we'd have a good time
I'm your friend, I'm fun
And I'm fine, I ain't lying
Look at me, you ain't blind

Also, have you seen the alleged JB pic with the blue undies? That odd necklace? A tat? Huh? Wha?  It turned up in a Google image search for "Face of Boe" (I swear). No really, try it.   ETA:  It's his birthday. :)

Checked out the photo. WTF. Do you think it's photoshopped?

ETA: the video. Meep. Speaks volumes, and I never even followed this fandom. Can't get enough of that patented Marsters shrug, though.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Yesss, they're so super slashy! Especially the ficathon episode.

(Though Angel's old-school back history hair? Not so much.)

I agree. Spuffy's hot but Bangel sucks."Spangel" was my very first foray into slash. Never really thought about it until I read a spangel fic and I was quivering like, "Oh damn, that's just insanely hot on a whole other level..." I've always been gay-friendly but never thought about guy on guy being super hot until I read that. I wrote one Spangel fic but lost half of it in a Word document save mishap. It's ok, it wasn't very good anyway.

Hot vid!

And I don't think that's John with the tat... is it? But if that's a manip, it's a damn good one.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Yes, not to ship-bash, because I hate to stomp squee, but Bangel? No.

And I'm with you completely. I think Spike/Angel was the first slash I really got.

I see everyone's seen that photo. Heh.

I'm relatively convinced by it - the body's a good choice if it's a fake. Nipples, build, the whole deal. What throws me is the necklace (doesn't seem very JB) and the tattoo (though that could be temporary, I suppose). And I've zoomed in, can't really tell where a join is, so they've done a good job if it is fake. But the man's not modest, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's legit.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

See, I didn't even compare nipples until corresponding with some JB body experts last night.

I wasn't looking there.



(I was looking at the goofy getup.)

MANIP. Totally, established on barrowmanfans.

Thanks to nnwest, look at this, instead: Jack & Boe

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Oooh, thanks!

NICE art, that!

[lawsontl.livejournal.com]

Darn. Still, awfully pretty.

So link us to the dish that disproves it! I mean, this is important discussion so we can, um...understand the depths of his...uh...personality...um...yeah!

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

It was in messages. Is there a link to barrowmanfans with the "that's not him", convo, Laura?

[laurab1.livejournal.com]

I'll try and find it for you XD

[shapinglight]

Yes, that's a good fanvid. Hooray for Spangel!

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Hee! ICONLOVE!

*hugs them*

I did not go looking for the JB photo. And it's extremely silly.

The nice thing with the vampire-as-slut trope is that you can ship just about anyone and get away with it. I have a soft spot for Spike/Xander, myself. And Angel/Wesley. Mmmm, Wesley. *lick*

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Vampires are so versatile! (Oh, and yes to Wesley.)

One of my best friends (from school days) is a Spike/Xander maniac. She has an external hard drive packed full of fic... just in case they take away one of her beloved archives.

I only like that pairing if Xander is eye-patched and a tad tough.

(My only Xander icon. Alas.)

Re: The pic. That's why I didn't link to it. (But the stories about John Barrowman randomly flashing people never fail to amuse me... even though I used to work with someone like that and it was only amusing 40% of the time - not, for example, at restaurants. Time and a place, bro.)

Am I the only person who likes Buffy/Angel? I really, really didn't like Spuffy when the show aired, but on my recent rewatch, it didn't bother me nearly as much as I remembered. I just didn't like how being in love with Buffy turned Spike into a pussy for... pretty much all of season five. Beginning of season six. It got better there at the end. They found the right balance of badass and nice guy.

Mrrhhh... ♥ Drusilla. ♥ Spike & Dru together.

You know, maybe it's because I was never really in the fandom, but I never did much slashing with Buffy. I definitely see where Spike/Angel is fabulous. I do loves me some preseries Giles/Ethan. Spike/Xander, though? Don't see it. At all. Does nothing for me.

[sanginmychains.livejournal.com]

Xander/Oz = magic

Giles pairings, set during the series, always squicked me, but post-S7 it kinda worked, in some pieces.

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

I just don't see it with Xander. This is proof that I can't slash everything. Sometimes it seems like I do, but... no. Not Xander. I really don't see it.

Mmmm, I love Giles ships. A couple years ago, someone wrote this fantastic, epic Lupin/Giles crossover piece that was amazing. But I really only like the idea of "adult" ships for him (het or slash), though the episode where they lost their memories and Giles and Anya thought they were engaged, I kinda got into that.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Am I the only person who likes Buffy/Angel?

Yes.

;) But Spike/Dru? I can get behind that too.

A lot of people think the Buffy relationship turned Spike into a pussy. I think being chipped is to blame, but I love some redemption. And some fic set earlier when Spike is definitely more badass.

Don't Stop. Can I rec that fic enough? Why, no, I can't.

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

Well, like I said, he got better as the series progressed. I think they figured out a good balance for him. And I still blame Buffy for his pussification, cause he was at least trying to still be badass in season four post chipping. Then it was all "I'm in love with Buffy, I'm going to be good!" and he got all watered down.

Before I wrote the Ianto/Faith story, I watched some of those season seven Faith episodes, and in the episode where she comes back, the conversation between her and Spike in the basement? They're smoking, and he's shirtless, and oh my god, how sexy was that? I might have watched the scene like three times.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I get what you're saying - about the watered-down Spike.

And that scene with Faith? OMG FLAIL.

I totally saw that in your fic. I love it!

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

did the search, thanks, *grins*

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Heh. ;)

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh, Spike/Angel. The first slashfic I ever read. And it was wrong, oh yes. Dirtywrong sire!fic with extra bloodplay, blood as lube, hate!sex and all sorts of filth.

*sigh*

I'm not really much for the het ships generally, but I remember finding Spuffy insanely hot when the show first aired. But with the benefit of hindsight I could totally get into Bad!Spike/Evil!Willow...

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

That sounds wrong, but interesting.

Ooh, Bad!Spike/Evil!Willow... with the black hair thing, telepathic stroking from across the Magic Box after she pins Spike to the ceiling with her shattered mind.


Nice.

[andreth47.livejournal.com]

Yep, I can get behind Spike/Angel (as long as it's not that ritualistic D/s Sire/Childe crap). Nice vid!

Have you ever read Europanya's The Vampires in Question? Very very funny, quite smutty, lots of fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN, YOU SEXXI BITCH!!

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

OMFG THAT is the best thing ever! D/P threesome!!!!

...and funny!!!

Bookmarking that bad boy.

[lynnenne]

I love that vid like candy. Funny and sexy.

Have you read any of my fic? It's nearly all Spangel. OTP 4EVA!

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I have been so focused on Torchwood since I've been on LJ that I've been neglecting other fandoms. :(

I'll definitely head over. (I love your writing!)
