i was talking to a friend and we were discussing our insane love of high school/ college fic.
and i just finished His Dirty Little Secret by jamesgirl
which i liked (the ending bit bothered me a little. i kind of hate how all of sudden spike/buffy "gets it" and everything's a 180. baby steps people!) for some crazy reason i kind of liked spike being an ass.

and as we all know i love closer and closer. and i'm kind of in the mood for a fic with spike and buffy and one being popular and the other not being so.. high up? or something because it creates good friction. and snark. which we all know i love. so sort of a blend of His Dirty Little Secret( or more like it) and Closer and Closer (again or more like it.) i've read A LOT of high school fic and i dont know why but i really like them. heres a short list of fics i realllllyyy loved to give you an idea of the kind i like

touch of jealousy(again i forget who wrote this piece of awesome
making wave by angelic_amy
loved common knowledge by panta re(their work is really good)
AND OF COURSE CLOSER AND CLOSER BY DAMPERANDSPOONS. i've read almost everything by her. except the one about the priest spike... not into teacher/student fic. unless its in college.

as always musty be well written. i dont really like wips because i finish them fast and get sad because there isnt any more left. but long whips or frequently updated stuff is always good. or if its just SO GOOD i have to read it (like learning curve again forgot writer... SORRY!)

here's a few:

Anything But Ordinary by Sweetie
In the words of Buffy Summers, "We were friends until I was fourteen. Then high school came along, he became gorgeous, and I became a pronounced loser." Yep, this is a highschool fic, guys... with a twist. Can enemies, Buffy and Spike, rebuild the friendship they used to know? Will it develop into more?

When the Price is Right by Goldilocks
When it's time for the annual Auction Day in Sunnydale, the last thing Buffy Summers wants is to be auctioned off as a 'slave'. When her best friend convinces her that it is for a good, charitable cause, Buffy finally agrees. What happens when the one person she hates, decides that being her 'master' for a week doesn't sound that bad?

The laws of the school yard by wall_flower
High school fic. When Spike transfers from England to Sunnydale High he finds himself instantly accepted by the 'popular group', a group who like to make a target out of the most unpopular kids in school. Buffy Summers used to be the most popular girl at school, until one day everything changed, and now she finds herself victim of the people who used to call themselves her best friends. What happens when the new guy, Spike, is forced to take her out on a date as part of his initiation into the popular group? Winner of the Judge's Choice for best fantasy angst at the Spuffy Awards!

all complete too

Here are some recs. They each are high school where the two are unequal in status and popularity in some way, sometimes Spike is on top, sometimes Buffy. Hope this helps...

Summary: When Buffy Summers and Spike Giles meet on her first day as a senior at Sunnydale High, they changed each other's lives. But was it for the better or worse? And although Spike's first impression is that Buffy is the spoiled-little-rich-girl, looks can be deceiving...

Summary: Spike Rayne is the most popular guy in school. Buffy Summers is the new girl that gets under his skin. When she shows no interest in him, he's willing to do anything to get her attention. How will Spike react when he finds out something about her that he never would have expected? Will it bring them closer together, or tear them even further apart?



Only Hope by TammyDevil666

Their paths cross in an unlikely way and a relationship forms, but Buffy has a past that could change the way he sees her. Will their love be strong enough to survive?




Maybe More by Dorians Kitten

Summary: William Pratt is busy trying to blend in and survive his new life and school when Buffy Summers crashes into his life.
