a really really random question for people who are more widely read in buffyverse fandom than i am

[lirazel]

Although my flist might not be the best place to ask this:

Are there many Buffy/Angel fics where Buffy and Spike are really good friends? Because I was thinking the other day about how much I enjoy writing Angel as a friend to Buffy and Spike in my future 'verse, and how much I enjoy whenever he pops up in other people's stuff in a similar way. And I was wondering if the other side of the "shipper debate" (whatever--like what you like! I don't care! Am I supposed to get upset about it or something? I don't!) enjoys writing a Buffy-Spike friendship in the same way. Anybody know?

So would I! I tried both Seeking Spike and the BSV seeking a fic forum thread, but not even a nibble. I know I read it quite a long while ago, I just don't know where. It was heartbreaking, as I recall. Just three people who love each other too much to want anyone to get hurt. Or maybe two people who love each other and the third one too much. Angel's kind of oblivious. He just thinks of Spike as a close friend of his and Buffy's.

Oh, that sounds so deliciously angsty! I'll have to keep my eyes open for it.
