Five Delightful Post-Series Shorts

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

Five fantastic authors, a multitude of characters, and plenty of belly laughs.

Outshone by deird1 G
Featuring Andrew, the hardest working man in the New Council of Watchers!

Playin’ My Favorite Song by beer_good_foamy R, for naughty words
Kids these days! Whatever will Faith and Giles do with a bunch of pent-up, squeeing baby slayers? Or are the kids the problem?

Just the Once by st_salieri R, barely
Pure Spuffy fluff, with an inspired Dawn characterization.

In Dreams, Part 11 by sockmonkeyhere PG, this chapter, but some are steamier
One of just two 2008 chapters of this terrific tale of a post-NFA bunch of demon fighters in Asscrack Ashcraft, AZ. Featuring almost everybody: Oz, little Jordy, Giles, Buffy, Willow, Xander, Angel/Nina (sweet!), Spike/Fred (bittersweet!), Gunn, Illyria, and a cast of marvelous OCs (particularly 13-year old Slayer Thu Kheim, playing happily with Buffy's Troll Hammer). Please join me in getting on my knees and begging this brilliant writer for more, more, more of this in 2009!

Not Even…. by ubiquirk PG-13
This charming story is a conversation between Jayne and Book, aboard Serenity, about some pretty deep stuff. I say post-series, because Firefly is clearly what happens after Earth That Was is destroyed in the one apocalypse that Buffy and her team can't foil. You doubt me? Ha! I have it on the authority of the none other than herself, who wrote all about it in a series of 2004-ish stories that can be found here, here, and here. Therefore it must be so.

Thank you - I do like rerading of some thoughts about what happened at the end of the show - Joss gave us an open field, and great to see it being used.

Plenty to explore in this list.

I hope you like 'em. You can't really go wrong with any of these talented writers.

Nothing better than a good laugh, thanks for this list.

I can't believe how much good stuff I missed last year. Can't wait to catch up.

Thanks for the links.

Just checked out the last one and I really enjoyed the ending. Book is a wise man.

Enjoy.

That's why this community is so right for us busy gals on the go!

Yes, he was underused, and much missed. By me, at any rate.

Except for "Just the Once," all of these are new to me. I can't wait to check 'em out!

Lots of little bits to love. I'm also preparing a list of long post-series fic, but houseguests call.
