Rec: very good vampire fic :)

[winter]

As people perusing the comments to this LJ might have noticed, I've infected fyrie with Tanz der Vampire, for which I'm sure she'll never forgive me. (She's also most of the way through the first Coldfire book, and I'm not sure what she'll do to me for that.) As part of her vengeance, a few days ago she started sending me fragments of vampire crossover pr0n featuring Spike from Buffy and Herbert. It soon transpired that the other two (Drusilla and von Krolock) were similarly engaged elsewhere. Between the pr0n at work thing and the quality of the writing, I may have acted a little undignified ^_~

Till The Moon Is Abed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Tanz der Vampire, Von Krolock/Drusilla & Herbert/Spike, rated 18 or NC-17.

Go, read, admire. And poke her about the sequel.

Entirely so :D I love seeing them get all confused :D

Essay-wise, this site is fabulous. It's the Spike-reference guide from the BtVS writers guild selection. The essay is The Pre-Raphaelite Punk :)

Definitely. I adored William's back-story. He was high enough to acquire a respectable doctor for his mother, but that could have been his (probably dead) father's influence more than William himself. He's a joke to his Peers, but tries so hard to be more and is increasingly adorable accordingly.

One of my mates has ranted long and hard about Angel's background in accordance with the anglo-irish traditions and the whole religion-thing of the time, right up to his choice of name. Let's say that Joss' people and historical accuracy never met :D

Heh, now I have reading material for this evening :>

You mean that Angel's people should have been so-called Irish gentry - English invaders making their home on Irish soil along the lines of the Wellesleys? At times like these, I find it apt to use a certain icon...

(I'm convinced that Joss has a memory for trivia, but just no will to research anything. Argh.)

I can't remember the rant in detail, but it was something about him having a clash of social standing, which could be seen in the house they lived in, the fact William had an English-rooted name and that in one way, the family should have been poverty-stricken scum, but in another, they should have been in charge.

Amusingly, Faith is also of Irish stock ;) I did have a bunny handed to me, when it was revealed that Faith's surname is Lehane and that's a regional Irish accent and could be tied back to Liam's old roots.
