timepiececlockI made this list for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
circe_tigana, but looks like girlwithjournal wanted it to. Greedy, ne? What could I do but comply? :g: automatedalice_, you should give me sex for this, though you've probably read several already. leslina, hide your eyes and go back onto your little never-happen Jet/Faye planet. We'll write to you. :)
Ok, so there's a lot of bad Spike/Faye fic out there. These are the good ones. Well...er.... really good ones and the ones that are just ok but I liked anyway for the pairing. You can sort them out to yor taste; I just kept away from the bad bad baddies. From there, look at the author's favorites lists for further inspriation. Also, I tried not to repeat the same author even if I liked two of their fics. So look at profiles.
NOTE: These are NOT in order. There's some amazing ones at the beginning, middle, and end too, so look at the whole list.
Here's my great list, both spoilery and un:
1. She Wanted To Die by sidewalk serfer girl ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=565751
- to date, my FAVORITE. It's continued in it's sequel, Leadbelly, also found on ff.net. This is Spike and Faye all beautiful and destructive and in love and hating each other and hot and cold and touching and it just makes me gush like Spuffy fan. Also, she writes Jet and Ed criminally good too. And there's plot. Actual good plot. And the last line of the last chapter made me giddy and think of BTVS & OutofMyMind.
2. Ain't Afraid to Die by Cassandra ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1317477
- One of my favorite WIPs, like the previous and the next one. She writes great character moments and great action moments, the utter bitch. Plus, she's so so nice when I email her.
3. The Subtle Moments by Ni9h7Ki773N~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1356286
- um... sexy and painful and sweet and angsty up the wazoo. I'm horribly attached. Click if you like smart smut.
4. Bell Peppers and Beef by Captain Nemo ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1062897
-Loved this. Fits nicely into canon, and plus its just despicably, revoltingly well written and clever. The jerk. Probably my second favorite CB fic next to "She Wanted to Die" and just beating out "Ain't Afraid To Die" by being completed already.
5. Forever Broken by Nirvana ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1360149
- A cool AU. Has a somewhat fanon-cliche view of Faye, but I'm likin' it anyway. Not many AU's in this fandom, weirldy.
6. Cries of the Past by Distance ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1351856
- A good post-series one. Not my most favorite, but well written.
7. For Every Action by red-tenko ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1243854
- good, very plot-driven story.
8. Guarded by monotask007 ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=905490
-I liked. A lot. The author doesn't update often, but has been consistant at least.
9. Through the Looking Glass, Darkly by Sonya ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1317143
-I actually don't like the author personally, because she left a stupid review (it was negative, but that wouldn't have bugged me if it had actually been intelligent and logical too) on one of my stories, and she wrote Buffy/Doyle, which I think leaves her no room to critize Spuffy, a ship which actually was supported by canon, but I'm getting off topic. She's written an interesting Matrix crossover. No ships so far.
10. Le Pari Ultime by TK ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1397212
- a neat thing that's only 1 long chapter so far, but looks like it might be good for more.
11. 1 night 8 years by tiffo the chicken flea ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1289263
- this is one of those cliche plots that I just read because it may be cliche but it's not horrible and I'm a Spike/Faye addict.
12. Ties Together by estrella424~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1141434
13. Orpheus Child ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1394706
-Mine. It's just a prologue so far, but I've got 15 chapters planned out in detail. I just need to get started at it again. I keep thinking about it and scurrying away.
14. If I Bleed by coetzee b ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1356491
- This is gorgeous. Just look at it.
15. To Heal All Wounds by arbitrary ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=279459
- and it's WIP sequel, Gene Cocktail. Is this Spike/Faye? Yes, and no. It's horribly difficult to explain, and honestly the first three times I read the summary I thought it sounded unbelievably lame, but it's actually damn cool.
16. Bebop High by Setryochi http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=959609
- another AU I'm going to reccomend. It's a High School fic, and has a lot of the cliche involved. On the other hand, it has some different stuff, and the Spike/Faye stuff is fun. So I say read it.
17. Everyday is a winding road by pimpin satan ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1266940
- I haven't actually read this yet. But it's on my list, and I know the author likes Spike/Faye.
18. She Walks by rouge night ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1430977
- I just read this one today. I'm in love with it, even as a one-shot.
19. Fallen Seraphim by Unknown Mercenary ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=947485
- one of the earlier ones I read. Really liked it.
20. Someone Just Like You by tangerinekidd32 ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1383017
- the last AU you'll hear about from me. It's only one chapter so far, but not bad at all.
21. A Few Dollars More ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1419639
-A Bebop/Trigun crossover. Not a romance at all, I just really like it.
22. Again I Go Unnoticed by Samantha ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1416467
- I dunno if I like this one or not, yet, because it's just starting, but it is Spike/Faye
23. Play Dead by meris ann ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=967540
-I hope this one gets updated soon, because it's snarky and bitchy and I love it.
24. Faye Who? by SpaceLion ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=617030
- slightly cheesy, but likable.
25. Just What I Can't Say by Lady Razorsharp ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=568653
- her stuff is charming. This is the best, but Lucid Dreaming is also quite good.
26. Growing Pains! by Zaybach1 ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=618335
-a short humor fic, no ships, but funny
27. Stew by Vegeta's Pride Spike's Smirk ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=477930
- Spike's pretty OOC, but Faye's IC, and I liked it enough to save chapters on my comp.
28. When Everything Changes by Thalia22 ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=877051
- finished, romance fic. good. I think. Can't really remember much bout it.
29. A Tale of Two Cowboys by mvdiva ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=854689
-a good one that fits nicely in between canon.
30. Wonderful by TygerLily ~ adultfanfiction.net
-WIP, 2 chapters. I honestly remember nothing about this except that I saved it and that means I must have thought it ok.
31. Look Me in the Eye by Nataku-chan ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1200085
-I liked this, and it's prequel one-shot, Jumper. WIP.
32. Undertow by Witmarsh ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=469366
- short, but good.
33. DRAGON HEAD DANCE by Ckrisz ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=473372
-unfinished, but good.
34. The Retrospect Sessions by Kurt Mendoza ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=896866
-not Spike/Faye, but more a straight CB fic. Sort of a look from the outside. Excellently written, though.
35. Wolf Eyes by Crystal Delphina ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1369068
- excellent one-shot post series
36. Cowboy Bebop: Round of Melodies by Jeva ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1363406
- good, but hasn't been updated in a month.
37. Heavy Metal Queen byMateOfVeggie ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1367788
-oooh... it's been updated since I last looked... tricky tricky of it...
38. Waking by Orin ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1060553
-one-shot, broke my heart to little pieces.
39. Silent Treatment by Lady Mysteria ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1220366
-good one-shot
40. One More Try by teresa ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1297797
-a pregnancy WIP, that I actually am really really enjoying.
41. I Once Was Lost by Ms. Grim ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1330112
I want so badly for this to be updated, but it hasn't since May. It's really good though, and one of the early ones I read.
42. Moving On, Without You by Stacey-chan ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1123819
-I don't remember much about this one except I was cool with it.
43. Deus Ex Machina by wickedtigerlily~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1378379
- good S/F, set before the end of the series. Like the style. Am anxious for updates.
44. The Cowboy's Unofficial Guide to the Open Road by Agent Orange ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=736793
-a friendship fic. Road trip. Wonderful characterizations. Both angsty and funny. The style is quirky, but so much of what happens I can imagine happening in a real episode. Her other fics are good reads also, especially In and Atomic Dog and Ballad. Funny.
45. The Lucky Ones by lush killer ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=562679
-It's weird, in writing style and perspective of the characters. But it's complete. I liked it a lot. GORGEOUS imagery.
46. Purple Rain by the Scary Godmother ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=639166
-We're getting into older fics now, that I read a while ago. So, um, no summary.
47. The Sunset Risin' in Your Eyes by Stuntcat ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1051188
- uum.... can't remember this one either. Think of it as a surprise.
48. A Game of Cards by Phegan ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1099056
- This was pretty cool fic. Too bad it seems to have been abandonned. A good read, though.
49. Coda by everstar ~ http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=778867
- One-shot. The very very first CB fic I read. I wish we'd gotten this scene. Cause everyone deserves a goodbye kiss.
Whew. That's done! I'll have add this to my memories and add more fics to it as I find them.
circe_tigana, but looks like girlwithjournal wanted it to. Greedy, ne?

Re:
Date: 2003-07-16 05:19 pm (UTC)There there, it's alright. It's alright. Go read Sidewalk Serfer girl's fic, and everything will be ok.
