His Body A Boat by Romany (R)

Hey, I'm [livejournal.com profile] entrenous88, and it will be my pleasure to rec some great fic in the Angel fandom for you this month. I've got a variety of stories to lead you to (het, gen, and slash, some angsty, some humorous), so let's get started. *revs the van and listens to the engine purr*

Fandom: ANGEL
Pairing: Spike/Angel
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] romanyg
Author Website: Not Exactly Blood and Roses
Why this must be read:

A study in gaps and silences, this story brings the reader through twelve 100-word drabbles, brief moments in the changing relationship between Spike and Angel during a period of unspeakable grief. Spike continually stumbles over and butts against Angel's sorrow at losing his son without ever truly understanding what happened. Still, as he acts the part of rebellious child or offers blind comfort, Spike circles around and ever closer to the points of loss, responding and guiding the only way he knows how, by giving himself to Angel.

Romany's Angel and Spike are real vampires -- there's blood, harsh and startling violence, and the weight of a long history coming to bear on sparse and stunning glimpses into the process of healing.
