Spangel Humour Fic Recs

Gotchu some fics to hopefully give a giggle, cuz sometimes it's needed.

Spike/Angel

Angel's (Not So Much) Inner Monologue by girlpire - Angel's under an embarrassing spell that makes him unable to censor his thoughts. Would be a real shame if anyone he regularly fantasizes about found out... Rating: Mature, Length: 7673 words Opening Up by Hello Spikey - Spike and Angel meet in an AU wherein that sensitivity spell (A:tS s1e6) never wore off. Rating: Teen+, Length: 1450 words Reading Between the Lines by ash_carpenter - A study of misinterpretation between vampire Champions, conducted by Winifred Burkle, Head of Science Division, Wolfram & Hart. Rating: Teen+, Length: 2245 words Spike's Fury by coalitiongirl - An alternate ending to Season 8. Rating: Teen+, Length: 100 words Sweet William's Poetry by Cold Gentlemen - Angelus/Will, BDSM, an English lit lesson, and a bonus recipe! It's both hot and hilarious, what more could you want? Rating: Explicit, Length: 2514 words Desert Pixies Made Us Do It by nomelon - Angel and Spike in the desert. A brilliant take on an old trope. Rating: Explicit, Length: 3486 words The Vampire Princess and the Pea Soup by Lyrstzha - As the prophecy declares, only Angel's true vampire princess can detect the drop of pea soup in the mug of pig's blood. Rating: Teen+, Length: 707 words The L.A Patient by Vampire_Penguin - Brilliant House M.D. crossover. House's team discover that just because their patient says she's a werewolf who was bitten by a demon, it doesn't mean they can add 'delusions' to the whiteboard.  Rating: Teen+, Length: 17,311 words Rising Sap by shapinglight - a Fairy!Spangel ficlet. Delightfully silly fun. Rating: Mature (but only for swearing), Length: 1128 words Gepetto in the House by Doyle - Puppet!Angel gets stitched up. Don't worry, this one contains no violation of Angel's puppet-hole. Rating: Teen+, Length: 1249 words Day Three by Tania - This one doesn't contain it either, but it's still puppet porn. What's more of a crime, that or the puns? Rating: I refuse to label anything about this as Mature. Length: 1573 words The Reunion Tour by Dovil - Angel and Spike get...reacquainted. It's not quite like riding a bicycle. Rating: Explicit, Length: 1676 words Rarely Pure and Never Simple by eponymmouse - Everyone learns a thing about Angel and Spike's past. The Spangel may be in the past (for now) in this one, but the scene is deliciously funny. Rating: Teen+, Length: 2024 words the adventures of bunny!Spike by thatotherperv - Wherein Spike is a bunny-rabbit. No, really. Absolutely adorable crackfic fun. Rating: Teen+, Length: 3153 words more than one way by thatotherperv - Spike and Angel are forced into therapy when their constant bickering puts the whole office on edge. Rating: G, Length: 654 words Days of Our Unlives by Kita and Jess - A slice of life/soap opera of Spike and Angel in LA. Click 'chapters' to navigate the fic. Goofy and cute fun. Rating: Explicit, Length: 43 chapters

Spike + Angel

if history's so long howcome i only ever run into you? by chasingfictions - life is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get. except Angel does. because no matter where he goes, he always fucking runs into Spike?? for some reason??? The Spangel Forrest Gump AU we all need. Rating: Teen+, Length: 3134 words operator, put me through to 1630 revello by chasingfictions - In which Angel essentially tries to call Willow for magical advice for four years and Spike says: No ❤️. (in other terms: Spike bothering Angel for three thousand words) Rating: Teen+, Length: 3336 words

Here's something a little different. An attempt at shaping the light in the post processing of a street photo shot from Suzhou, China. I loved the photo's balance of reds, greens and greys, but the lighting was lacking in my original, what do you think of the result? #wyldfyngs #travelgram #travelphotography #moodygrams #travelphotographer #treephotography #china #exploreChina #moodygram #agameoftones #shapinglight #streetshared #citygrammers #beautifuldestinations #stayandwander #lightroommaster #visualambassadors #streetdreamsmag #suzhou #urbannature #yourshotohotograoher #natgeoyourshot #natgeotravel #LifeofAdventure #urbanromantix #chinesebuilding #architecture #imisstravelling https://www.instagram.com/p/CDAC0VoJmH2/?igshid=1cw09fceclu7p

Photography today is the art of light that blends compositional design, brand-based visual making and adaptive-technology to help the story teller powerfully emotionalise the message that eventually influences the viewer. In the end it’s not about just how much equipment I have but about knowing what I need to emotionalise with the art of light. #life #photographer #artlover #light #photography #photoshoot #onlocation #onlocationshoot #everydayisawesome #everydayisphotographyday #celebratingphotography #profoto #lightshapers #artoflighting #artofphotography #brandphotography #shapinglight #eatsleeplivephotography

Product shot. . Testing out another product that I'm reviewing for The-Gadgeteer. com, this time it's a 19"in. ring light. I snapped this shot of the ring light and Tampa hip-hop artist @aych302 . . Since I was already doing a photoshoot with him I figured he would be a perfect subject to help me test out the ring light. I'll let you know when my review for the ring light is published so keep an eye out for it. . I kinda like the ring light included in this shot. What do you think? . . . . . . #productreview #photoshoot #hiphop #host #rapper #emcee #mc #raulshotthis #producttester #thatraulsanchez #tampa #tampaphotographer #editorial #fashion #ringlight #portrait #shapinglight #light #productphotography #productshot #tamparapper #darkandlight #lightanddark #shadow #noirphotography #intheshadows (at Tarpon Springs, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDEVX2pJUed/?igshid=1gq01khccbgzu

Author: shapinglight

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

Rating: R

Pairing: Darla/OFC

Summary: Setting: Paris, 1903. When she found herself missing Drusilla, Darla realised it was time to hire a maid. There was only so much one could do for oneself, after all. The S-bend silhouette alone was the very devil to achieve unaided.

Title: Something Special Story Artist: Eyesthatslay Author: Sandy S. Rating: PG-13 Disclaimer: We own nothing. Joss owns all. Summary: Buffy sets out to help Spike feel like he means something to her for their anniversary. Set in an AU universe after season 5 of AtS. Word Count: 7773 (not including this voluminous intro) Pictures: 6 Author’s Dedication: For eyesthatslay and musing_mia for always being so kind to me and for zarrah04, _sin_attract, inxsomniax, aimeedee, jenniepennie, velvetwhip, amoonchilde, and ghostgirl13 just because. Special thanks to eyesthatslay for coming up the magnificent title and for so beautifully illustrating the story. Collaborating with you has been an amazing, unique, and fun experience! Artist’s Dedication: For sandy_s, truly one of the kindest people I know, and a friend I will always treasure. For Natalie, my sister by choice. I'm so grateful for you. For amoonchilde and musing_mia, my two earliest fandom friends, that I've been blessed to call real life friends for many years now. And for my wonderful Mom, who is more amazing than I can say. Author’s Note: This project was created for the LJ community, Seasonal Spuffy, for the theme As Time Goes By. It’s also the 20th anniversary of BtVS, so an anniversary tale…. :o) Thank you to eyesthatslay, petzipellepingo, rebcake, tx_cronopio, gillo, kazzy_cee, trepkos, fangfaceandrea, facingthesun, shapinglight, amoonchilde, and slaymesoftly who helped me with little details, such as what Giles might drink after dinner, little Spuffy moments, and location ideas. While I didn’t use all of them here, I appreciate the discussion…made the fic writing more fun and interactive and made my little corner of fandom feel warm and cozy again…like coming home.
