UST: Unfulfilled Sexual Tension!

Hi, I'm looking for fics with a LOT of UST between Spike and Buffy. If anyone ever read a really good one, please recommend!

Also, I'd like to ask if anyone knows a story like One, by squawks. I love that story, but it was sadly never finished. It's about Buffy being Angel's younger sister and Spike being his 20 years old best friend. Buffy is in love with Spike but he thinks she's a kid, until he catches her in a very compromising situation and starts lusting after her, but trying to fight it because it's wroooong. xD

If anyone can make a recommendation on either of the above, I'll be forever thankful =P

There's a short one that I really liked, but the UST is fulfilled...

Black Silk by Nicky

Summary: At a sleep-over, 15-year-old Buffy is dared to sneak into Cordy's step-brother's bedroom and steal a pair of boxers from his drawer – but Spike comes home early, and Buffy gets a lot more than she bargained for.

Have you read:

Little Sister by GoldenBuffy

http://spikeluver.com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory.php?sid=13412&warning=NC-17

Summary: Set: AU Buffy is Angel's little sister, and Spike is his best friend. After asking Buffy to be the lead singer in their band Spike relies that there is more to his feelings towards Buffy than his view of her as his "little" sister, but will Buffy return his feelings or smash him back to reality?

I don't know if it's been finished anywhere...

And there is:

Keeping Secrets by Spikes_slayer08

http://spikeluver.com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory.php?sid=35414

Summary: Armed with fake ID's 16 year old Elizabeth Buffy Summers and her best friend Cordelia Giles head out to LA's hottest club intending on meeting up with Cordy's older, secret boyfriend Xander but when Cordy and Xander bail on Buffy she meets the man of her dreams Spike. He is everything she has ever wanted in a guy fun, smart, sexy, and a wonderful lover only problem is he is 22 year old college student and thinks she is the same not a 16 year old high school student. How will Spike react when he discovers the truth? will he be able to forgive her? will he be able to put her age aside? and is her age the only secret she is keeping from him?

There is a story on ff.net that I love and that hasn't been finished yet but I live in hope. It's a high school band fic. How great is that?

This is the last one I'm rec'g for the UST request because I can't be sure I'm even in your ballpark here.

Common Knowledge by Panta_Rei

Summary: Everyone knows that Buffy Summers is a pretty, popular cheerleader with a perfect life, just like everyone knows that Spike Walsh is a dark, disturbed punk who's more arrogant jerk than decent person. Everyone also knows that they hate each other. So what do you do when it turns out that what everyone knows is just plain wrong?

and


Bridging The Gap by Panta_Rei

Summary: Buffy Summers and Spike Kingston are pretty unusual best friends: she's 16 and a social nobody, he's 26 and a regular at the diner her father owns. What happens when their feelings for each other change into something that could easily spin out of control?

I hope this helps.

I always love 'Murphy's Law' by Im_bloody_English:
You know what it means... whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. 'Murphy's Law' comes into play from the moment our two favorite blonds meet despite any initial attraction to one another. What's the result when a womanizing genius and a prudish workaholic are forced together in every way with no choice but to deal with each other 24/7? Tons of UST! Will it ever get resolved, or will they kill each other first? .... "Tell me somethin', pet. Wha's the real reason for your knickers bein' in a twist aside from the possibility you put your plug in sideways?" .... "The fact you're still breathing is number one on a very long list of reasons and oh-my-God... crude much?" Romance, comedy and mild angst.

its one of my favourite stories

Okay, here's a true UST fic that I really love and it's quite different as well.

Manifest Destiny by Uisge Beatha

http://spikeluver.com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory.php?sid=9391&warning=NC-17

Summary: Turns out that an ancient coin, a pissed off vampire, and a Slayer with an attitude are not mixy things.

It's not finished but I enjoyed reading it thus far. It it is certainly not the usual thing.

Ok for those of us *raises hand* who don't know, please explain/define 'UST'.

UST = Unfulfilled Sexual Tension

In TV shows it usually remains unfulfiled or the show goes downhill soon afterwards. But...in fanfiction it usually gets 'fulfilled' at some later point in the story. However there needs to be a period of unrequited or unfulfilled longing before that happens. That's what makes it fun.

Well, if we're gonna get technical about it I think it's actually 'unresolved sexual tension'. I just couldn't think of the word 'unresolved' when I first responded to you. I don't know if it matters but that is the standard word used as the 'U' in 'ust'.

OR how about Undeniable or Unrequited totally being funny! I'm with Pari on this I had some clue, but at first I was like: "Did they forget the L???" Yes total Harmony moment!

wow i always thought it meant 'underlying sexual tension' lol

Could be? Who did come up with this UST? I swear I thought it was Lust they just forgot the L!!! ROFLMAO! So many interpretations! *snickers*

It started out for tv shows from what I recall. Shows like Moonlighting and X-Files, where the male and female leads seemed atrtracted to each other and kind of flirty-ish but never crossed the line. And expanded from there. Fanfiction is the place where UST goes to get fulfilled, that's one of the reasons it's so full of it and in so many different pairings. The show didn't bring them together but by God I will! LOL Anyway, there's tons of it in spuffy, especially all human spuffy. Like I said, it's why it's so much fun.
