10 years ago tomorrow! (*facepalm*)

I think it was Sueworld who a few days ago mentioned that Spike is like the little black dress of fandom. This struck me as particularly apt as I posted today's fic, because it could barely be more different from yesterday's: One was Spike/Angel, with a heavy emphasis on the fact that they are very much demons still. The other is Spuffy, with a shanshued Spike becoming a father. And yet both are just Spike. He fits into one scenario as easily as the other. Which I guess is why we all love him - there are endless facets to explore and enjoy, because he can be - and has been - pretty much everything.

Anyway, for those of you who enjoy some Spuffy (even if it *is* baby!fic), here's today's offering:

I didn’t know it’d feel like this.

And, so as to make this post less self-centric, a few more recs:

missmurchison posted (porny!) S/B/A fic: No Illusions.

And annapurna_2 returned, bringing wonderful, *fabulous*, Spuffy goodness with her (I could drown in her stories):

Muted (post-NFA)
Beginnings (The Spuffy story in drabbles)
Made for Each Other (AU Late AtS S5)

Must watch 'School Hard' tonight. (Incidentally, I missed it when it was first shown and never saw it until post-Chosen...)

"Spike can be everything". Great mix of Spike stories.

Saw "School Hard" on FX reruns, after the series. The meld into human face when he turned to Drusilla was...probably the reason I still enjoy reading about him today.

Spike can be everything indeed - I love the fact that he's so versatile. And also the fact that the shows finished so open-ended. You can do anything with Spike that you want. Shanshued!Spike sits quite comfortably next to Vampire!Spike in my head.

I'd adored Spike for *years* before I finally saw that particular squee-worthy moment. But it was FFL that turned me into a fan, and the last beat of 'Grave' (*points to icon*) that turned me obsessive!
