Favourite characters in varied pairings

Fics I loved which I haven't seen recc'ed yet, but oh, for a linking theme... it's mainly Giles in a number of guises, but one Darla-fic sneaked in. My favourite characters being written well, in relationships of varying states of happiness and snark: a joy.

[livejournal.com profile] wesleysgirl, Life is What Happens When You're Making Other Plans, very, very sweet human AU, Giles/Wesley in their cautious, repressed selves. Not a vampire in sight, but a great deal of bookbinding talk, which is utterly in character.


[livejournal.com profile] quinara, An Exercise in Futility, Giles/Olivia, playing with Gosford Park as a background, and plenty of Wesleytoo. Plotty as hell, as it should be, being essentially the founding fic of [livejournal.com profile] plot_wout_porn (which is running a second season: signups are here. All plotters welcome!).

[livejournal.com profile] drsquidlove, And Yet, Giles/Xander NC17. Dark and porny and not like anything else in this list. But a thing of beauty in its own right.

[livejournal.com profile] jen_nsync_landl, Blood and Biscuits, Spike and Giles develop their beautiful friendship, in season four sniping to make your heart sing. Surely someone else has recc'd this already?

[livejournal.com profile] rebcake, Gamesmanship, Darla returns to the Master. Sinister and insidious stuff, which makes you glad you're not a centuries-old vampire.
