When I first started reading fanfic, about midway through season five, Dancing Lessons (http://randomthought.addr.com/redemptionista/) was my favorite story. It is complete redemptionist fic. Now I look back at it and wonder what in the hell I was thinking. I think it was a momentary laps in sanity, or something. For as long as I can remember I've loved vampires who loved being vampires, like David in The Lost Boys. I loved Spike the first time "School Hard" aired. I don't know what made me like stuff like Dancing Lessons, but for some reason I did. I can't explain it. Thankfully that laps is over. As I said, Nauti is about the only author I still read, and her stuff is much more about finding a middle ground between Buffy and Spike than Spike "bettering" himself to her standards....when there's a plot, anyway.
