Hello! [personal profile] secondalto here driving the Buffy/Angel van again. Last time around I gave you all the Giles love I could. This time I'm focusing on what I consider rare pairings, I have mostly het, a few slash and two gen. Hopefully there will be something for everyone. Enjoy!!

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel
Pairing: Spike/Tara

Why this must be read: I fell in love with this fic the first time I read it. Idyll takes a simple premise, what if Willow had died in "Seeing Red" instead of Tara, and turns it into a gorgeous character study of both Spike and Tara. They develop a friendship based on shared heartache and understanding. They help each other deal with The First in unusual ways. It's a sweet progression from friendship into something more as Tara comes to LA to help recorporealize Spike. Idyll takes her palette of language and paints a gorgeous picture.
