Spike/Buffy. Post-NFA, Buffy discovers shanshued Spike who teaches poetry in a college. His attempts to lead quiet life are ruined as Buffy Summers enrolls in his class. anaross, who held panels at several Writercons, gives Spike her own job and invites us to visit a creative laboratory of an author and a poet.[2]
It's a post NFA Spuffy reunion story and I love it because it combines excellent plot, writing and voicing with poetry.[3]
For anyone fancying a break from the usual High School settinganaross's My Life Closed Twice is terrific!
...I teach third level and I teach English Lit but this story taught me more than a thing or two and it didn't hurt a bit. I love Spike the poet and this brings Buffy close to that side of him without ever descending into sentiment and mush.[4]
the most delicious, articulate, nuanced, moral, tough, bitchy, swoon-inducing iteration of Spike in fanfic[5]
