Five Miscellaneous Fics I enjoyed in 2010
In no particular order:
Mechanics of the Act by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nomelon, Spike/Illyria, NC17. Illyria is curious about her new form and enlists Spike to...well, no one instructs the God-King, but Spike does his best.
Seraph bysnickfic. Posted in 2009 but with follow-up ficlets written in 2010. Spike and Dawn, PG-13, mpreg - one of the best fics I've ever read, which is not something I ever thought I'd say about an mpreg fic, but the writing is so good, the mechanics of the story so well set up, the characterisation so spot-on, that you easily forget that the inherent premise is insane.
Half-Way There byindri. Giles-centric, PG-13. Anything new by indri is always a treat, and this re-telling of season 7 through Giles's eyes, as he travels the world trying to save the lives of Potential Slayers, doesn't disappoint. In season 7, Buffy fought a war against the First Evil. This is a war story.
In the Morning of the Magicians byindri. Pre-series, Giles/Ethan, R. In indri's own words, 'the electric Kool-Aid funky Satan groove year, in the early seventies'. Terrific sense of time and place. This is a WIP, but the first draft of the story is complete.
The Gay Agenda byrebcake. PG, Fluffy, slash curtain fic, featuring that most romantic of pairings, D'Hoffryn/Skip (no, honest). Very, very funny.
