Five great B/A fics from the 2007 IWRY Fic Marathon...

Every November for the past three years, I have hosted the I Will Remember You Fic Marathon. The marathon was originally started by leni_ba, and those stories are also linked at the site.

Here is a list of my five favourite fics from 2007. (I have linked to the stories at the site.)



1. Five Ways Buffy and Angel Never Meet And Never Have To Say I Love You, Post NFA by landrews, Adult
This is a fantastic story that is by turns unabashedly romantic and gut-wrenchingly angsty. It's a story filled with might-have-been's and could-never-be's. And, um, it's hot.

2. Revenant by ruined_gardens, Adult
This story (Buffy returns to LA to help Angel) picks up steam in the final half and is peppered with crackling Scoobie-like dialogue and some pretty dang good sex. This story really grew on me the more I read.

3. Split the World by semby, PG
Buffy and Angel live (out of necessity) in separate worlds- literally. Heart-breaking little fic.

4. Here, Your Wandering One by marenfic, R
This fic captures- without belittling it- some of what makes the B/A relationship so damn complicated and messy and beautiful and eternal.

5. Restoration by krypton288, R
Buffy and Angel's individual experiences with an after-life inform this story and it was killer.
