Summary
There are moments, however brief, where Spike can bring out the Buffy from before. The one that smiles and laughs and cries tears of joy. Dildo or doormat, as long as she is happy, she’s worth the worship.
Alt Description: Even depression sex can be fun.

Summary
Buffy has no date to the senior prom, but that doesn’t matter. Although she was lost once, now Buffy is a tiger who lets no one stand in the way of what’s right, not even some handsome vampire. But now she has a debt to repay, and it’s not one she can let herself ignore. If a vampire could keep her alive and teach her how to fight, why can’t a slayer show the same type of mercy? Can two tigers ever stop sparring long enough to see they’re the same type of creature? Sequel to Lost Little Lamb.

Summary
Eight years after the Dominion War, Dr. Bashir—rather afflicted, unfortunately—is en route to Cardassia Prime. Meanwhile, Garak has re-established himself as a politician of note, and his methods may be the source of more than a little friction. Furthermore, Garak's comrade-in-arms from the Cardassian Rebellion, Kira Nerys, is seeking to define a correct path for the tumultuous planet of Bajor. Ezri Dax, conversely, is struggling with her role in the Federation. The O'Briens are the two people suffering the least, and let me be the first to say, good for them.
Features an absolutely staggering amount of politicking, as well as periodic descriptions of alien ecology. Definitely a ensemble fic. You liked Martok, I hope?
CURRENTLY: Quark is done with his interview. Interview with a Quark.

One of the best I’ve ever read! I really like how the author examines so many different perspectives and shows new angles of situations and dynamics from the show. It rambles on a lot, but it’s all interesting enough that I don’t mind. And there’s Cardassian soap operas!

Summary
What did it mean to invite your sort of sex toy, your sort of teammate, your sort of lover, your sort of (former) enemy to your wedding? To your two-person, very traditional, very exclusive wedding?
He wasn’t sad, of course. Just annoyed. Irritated, even. This invitation was proof of their belief that he’d finally softened up, lost his fangs. Inviting him to a wedding.

The Spike/Xander/Anya story that we deserve! I also appreciated the refreshing lack of character bashing.
