Five Dawn-Centred favourites

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

I think that Dawn is one of the most interesting characters of the Buffyverse if written well. Here are five authors who've managed that feat. Three femmeslash, one het, and one gen.

Five Little Gems by Anna S

[shapinglight]

Some authors are long gone from the Buffyverse fandom, but thanks to LJ memories and the Wayback Machine, we can still enjoy their wonderful work.

I would hope that most people reading this will have heard of Anna S, or eliade, but if not, here are links to some of the hidden gems in her LJ memories, picked more or less at random, because they are all just so good you could choose any of them. They're all m/m slash and don't always have proper titles, and the ratings are mine, not eliade's.

Top 5 Old School Spillow fics

[cafedemonde.livejournal.com]

With all the lovely slash going around, the back-in-the-day Spillowy goodness has found itself on the back burner so I present some fics that should bring to mind a time when the fandom was young and everything in fanfic was bright and new. In no particular order...

1. The Hand That Wields the Scapel by Medea - Who can forget Medea's great epic tale, Masters and Minions? If you enjoyed that, you should love this as well. THTWTS is a AU historical look at a vampire named William and a young doctor, Willow Rosenberg. He's wicked and creepy and it's oh so believable. I loved this immensely.

2. Odalisque by Elenorlaura - This is one of my all time favorite fics...EVAH! Another delve into an AU historical scene, Odalisque is a haunting look at what happens to a young witch made into a vampire's chew toy. Not always pretty but always captivating, this is a must read if you like it when the vamps are bad. Sadly it is unfinished.

3. Bonded, by Sinecure. - Fighting a demon, Willow and Spike become bonded. The angst level is on high as is the romance. I was immediately drawn in by how realistically the characters were portrayed. A great read all around!

4. Learning Curve by KallieRose - Willow is dying, Giles asks Spike for a favor. The shit hits the fan after that. Loads of plot and drama and surprising spurts of humor that Kallierose does so well.

5. Fleurs de Mal by Aileen E. - Willow needs help with a school paper on poetry, and she enlists Spike to help her understand Symbolism and the Bohemian lifestyle of nineteenth century poets. And he does a little more than that. It's hot. Go read. Enough said.

Five Buffy/Faith One Shots

I love the Buffy/Faith pairing for so many reasons, and thought I'd share some fic about them I really adore.

5 of my favorite fics

[menomegirl.livejournal.com]

I couldn't think of a single catagory to list these under. These fics don't have much in common but they felt right grouped together. I've always thought each fic said something profound about the characters in them and I go back to visit these from time to time.


1.Stages of Grief by theantijoss. Angel's response to Buffy's death. (PG, AU)

2.Six Feet Deep by kita0610 and Jessica W. Spike/Buffy, Post-The Gift, R.

3.(r e) mission by elynross, Angel/Lindsey, R.

4.Stuck With A Mirror by thebratqueen, AU for the episode The Replacement, Spike, R.

5.Damage Done by chrisleeoctaves, Angel/Riley, NC-17.

Five Fics That Helped Me Accept Angel

[only-passenger.livejournal.com]

I took my time with Angel when I entered the Buffyverse. I didn't really want much to do with him. There was too much about him, for me, not to like. Layers of unlikeableness. Eventually, though, I came to realize that each layer was something of a scar. I mean, the guy has been around forever. He's bound to have amassed a few. And each scar had the potential to tell a story. These writings opened me to Angel, and I'm so grateful they did.

Five Oldskool Spike/Buffy Romps

[quinara]

These are five fics I associate with the time before I got my LJ in 2003, when the world of Spuffy fanfic was a very different place (or so it seems to me now). They've stuck with me to such an extent that it seems odd people haven't read them and they've probably influenced me more than I realise.

( Action/Adventure FTW! )

Minor Character Melange

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

Don’t you just love those random, seemingly inconsequential walk-on characters? Sometimes they become regulars (Harmony, Jonathan), sometimes they show up again a couple more times (Ethan Rayne, Sandy the vampire/victim from Doppelgangland), or maybe they just go on with their “lives” (Sheila from School Hard, my personal favorite). Don’t you want to know more about them? Now you can, with these delightful, mostly canon, fill-in-the-blank back-stories.

( Five really good ones... )
