Five Fics That Just Are That Good

[shapinglight]

Here are five fics that, when I read them, made me say to myself, "That is just amazing!" I hope you enjoy them.

I think this story has been recced already, but never mind. It can't be recced too often IMO.

Of All the Wonders I Have Yet Lived, Angel/Darla R by girlpire. A heartbreaking look at what might have happened if a human Darla hadn't died after all when Connor was born.



Domestic Bliss, Spike/Riley NC17 by nomelon. Begun in 2007 and finished in 2008, this story takes an unpopular (and most people would say wildly implausible) pairing and makes it work beautifully and believably in the context of a great, plotty story. Superlative.

Not the Way It Works, Fred and Lorne principally, G, by deird1. I'm actually not sure I know how to describe this fic. It's wacky and wonderful and made me smile for ages after reading it. A must for Fred fans everywhere.

Do you Believe? Spike/Buffy PG13 by rebcake. The author's entry for the latest round of seasonal_spuffy, a re-telling/re-ordering of BtVS season 4 that works beautifully and has a very canon feel.

Deadly Seven, Giles, Ethan and their Eyghon gang, PG-13, by bruttimabuoni. The author's entry for the The Dark Age challenge on fantas_magoria, it tells in spare, chilling prose the groups' descent from fun-seeking to the craving of dangerous, dark powers.
