5 Dru Fics

[snickfic]

1. Crazy Madcap Redemption, by hello_spikey
Ats S5; Spike/Dru; longfic.
In which Dru gets a chance to choose who she is and become her own person. Dru finds Spike hanging about Wolfram & Hart, and Spike, heartsore, lonely, and remembering sweet times past, takes it upon himself to save her. This doesn't work out quite how either of them expect. It's all very satisfying, with lovely characterizations and occasional bits of Spikey's hilarious dialogue.

5 Darla Fics

[snickfic]

1. Devouring Time, by quinara
pre-series; one-shot.
Darla goes on safari! I love the portrayal of Darla here, that she will dare the hazardous African sun for the sheer experience of the thing. The writing is gorgeous, the whole thing is suffused with sunshine, the setting is beautifully evoked (and we all know how I am about setting). This fic reminds me anew just how much I love Darla.

Five Classic Ideas and Thoughts

1) Xander the Vampire Slayer by sentine: What if Xander was the slayer, Buffy his normal friend, Jonathan his wizzard friend, and Jenny his watcher? Roles reversed according to gender. Makes you think about the changes in the series!

Fun Fanvids

I think that is just an adorable video! The maker paced everything so well that its like the actors are singing the song. It made me want Amy Acker and J. August Richards to have a Russian singing career and make lots of cute music videos.
