5 Disturbing Stories

1. Speaker 2 Customers' Mine Own Executioner creeps me out. It's short and doesn't seem as if it should be disturbing, but it really is.

( the rest of the recs are getting trashed at a neighbor's party. Oh, wait. No. That was me. )

Some rare character study vids

Some vids about characters who don't get the spotlight often.
Any bad English and awkward phrasing in summaries is mine and shouldn't be blamed on vid authors.

Don't Forget Me by obsessive24 (Buffy/Riley) "But she doesn’t love me." Riley as defined by Buffy.

Five Not-So-Willow Fics I Think Are Great

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

Since my last list was Willow-centric, I thought I should post a list of five fics I love which don't feature her (I know... didn't think I read anything like that, did you? Surprise!)


1) For My Pain, A World of Sighs (Spike/Xander) by baudown: This is an exquisitely-wrought cold-chill of a tale - an AU where Spike arrives in Sunnydale earlier than we see in canon... and alone. This is the Spike who rained death and destruction in Europe in all his merciless glory and I am awed anew every time I read this story.

Five Dark Fics for Halloween

[baudown.livejournal.com]

Five fics that will get under your skin:

1. The Loving Dead, by witling -- Xander is being haunted. Is it ghosts, or ghosts of the past? Eerie, atmospheric, and a little bit heartbreaking. A beautifully rendered Xander.

2. Macrame, by Anna S -- Willow overuses magic. Magic has consequences. As always, the writing is extraordinary. Spander.

3. Skin Deep, by Doyle -- A short and very scary season 7 AU. Yikes.

4. Cuckoo in the Nest, by liz marks -- A character study of Tony Harris, an all-too human monster. This will hit you like a punch to the gut. This one stuck with me for a long, long time.

5. Red Frame, White Light, by sparrow2000 -- Post-soul Spike's craziness takes a slightly different form. His encounter with Xander is shivery perfection.

1. Snowpuppies' Chosen series is a delightfully dark set of stories, each with a different Slayer.
