Fanfic recommendation

I've already recommended it, months ago, but I have to do it again.

Everybody should read [livejournal.com profile] eurydice72 's AU 'verse, especially the last story of it (sequel of "This Wanton World" which you can find here), called Diamond Studed Flunkies. It's Spuffy but complicated and everything or everyone is kind of grey.

It's amazing. I know I'm biased, being an Ethan lover and all, but I can't imagine anyone not being moved even just a  little bit, by her Ethan Rayne. I'm Spuffy at heart, I don't take threesomes involving Spuffy very well (except when it's the famous and delicious "Double Spiked" by [livejournal.com profile] kantayra  or Spike/Buffy/William!), and as I told her, usually when either Spike or Buffy are in a  relationship with someone else, it bothers me and I'm eager to see the relationship's ending, because Spike and Buffy must get together and stay together, but in that story it's the first time, in all my fanfic-reading time, that I have been torn, well not really torn, but challenged in my Spuffy certitude. The dysfonctional and unhealthy Buffy/Ethan couple is simply touching.

challenged in my spuffy certitude ? I like the way you put it !

I don't take threesome involving Spuffy very well either , apart from Spike/Buffy/William ( which you can find very beautifully portrayed in some fics by [livejournal.com profile] evenstar_estel , too) , I can read Spike/Buffy/Angel post Chosen only if perfectly written in characterization and with everyone being equals ( as much as possible).
But just for a ficlet.
Or a PWP.
Or on a depressing day.


Ethan .. I don't like him very much, yet I learned to appreciate him in Eurydice's fic. But she's so insanely good.:)

*goes to read slightly worried now* ;-)
