*blushes*  Good company to be in.

I second all of those - and would add that Herself writes angst really well, and often, so you should be able to find a lot of hers that suit you.  Ditto for Anaross. Hers often have happy endings, but there is a lot of angst on the way there.  Other than that, I can't think of any other authors that do angst specifically.  Unbridled Brunettes wip Forward to Times Past is very angsty - but not completed yet.

Oh, I have one - Time Around me Whispers by Always_jbj Short and sad.

I'll have to look through my list of things that I've read, but DreamsofSpike's "Because He Needs Me" is particularly angsty and particularly good.  Very gripping, and you'll have the added bonus of not having to wait for the next update, which, while DoS updates quickly, drove me crazy when I read it during posting 'cause it's just that good :-)

Give me Spuffy, or give me death.

Tempesta Di Amore by HollyDB is an AU, but not one of those overdone types. I enjoy original AU. Anywho, William was married to Dru, but she died and he later meets Buffy and marries her. There's all the angst because she believes him to still be in love with Dru. It takes place maybe last century, I'm not quite sure since I've never read the book it's based on.

Unfortunately, we had big vampires in the next room, and I didn't think they'd wait while we had hot monkey sex. ~Cerulean Sins :: (Anita to Jean-Claude)“Is there anything your bloodline does that doesn’t involve getting naked?" ~Danse Macabre :: I’m dating three men, living with two more, and having occasional sex with two others. That’s seven men. I’m like a pornographic Snow White. I think seven is plenty. ~Danse Macabre

Thanks everyone. I'll check them out.
