5 Spangel Ficlets By Anna S

[baudown.livejournal.com]

For chasingdemons, who requested some Spangel. All By Anna S.

1. Untitled --Melancholy, poignant, beautiful.

2. Sleepy -- Short, but it packs a wallop.

3. Gift -- "Once it would have taken force to drive Spike to his knees."

4. Untitled -- The L.A. gang discusses the relationship.

5. Untitled -- This piece just gets to the heart of who they are, and who they are to each other. Quite possibly my favorite Spangel story ever.

And another spangel rec list, this time it's comedy/fluff. Because one list was clearly not enough.

This Is It by Foxinator (foxstarreh). Spike and Angel move on. Maybe. Kinda. PG-13.

Top 5 Wish List Fills

[yourlibrarian]

Dawn Meets Cordy by onegirlinalltheworld. So this isn't a fic about pre-series Dawn but I thought it was a nifty idea about how Dawn and Cordelia might have bonded in S2.

Five historical tales featuring Darla or Drusilla

[rbfvid.livejournal.com]

rebcake asked for pre-series fic focused on Darla or Dru, and I'm happy to oblige (though I doubt I can offer anything new to her). All stories rated PG to PG-13 (yes, I'm shocked, too!)

Traveller by selenak. Darla might not know the rules yet, but she had always known how to make men break them. Darla and the Master, in the beginning.

Five short fix-it fics

[punch-kicker15.livejournal.com]

I'm a big fan of fics where a well-timed spell, a friend stepping in to help, or someone asking the right question at the right time can solve a problem from canon.

Here are five short classic fics in that category:

1. Apotheosis by Ephemeral Night (Willow/Tara, General Audiences). Willow stumbles upon the secret for carrying out the Thy Will Be Done Spell in a more effective manner, and comes up with some clever and audacious to eliminate nearly every threat the Scooby Gang will ever face, and then takes it even further into the ultimate fix-it fic territory. Tagged as "fluff and crack" in AO3, and it's high quality fluff and crack.

Five Scary Shorts

[rbfvid.livejournal.com]

Five favorite scary stories. Just keep in mind that some of these go with major character death warning. Won't tell which ones, because I'm evil like that. And because spoilers.

Truly and Forever by thuviaptarth. What if Willow managed to resurrect Tara? Rated NC-17, and not exactly for the smut.

Classic Recs is Now Closed

[yourlibrarian]

That groaning squeak you hear is the door being closed on this session of Classic Recs. Although you'll have to put away the pumpkins and garlic until next year, we've had an abundance of tasty treats offered to fill us up ::nom nom:: Many thanks to the folks posting and commenting during this session!

It was particularly great to see people filling requests from The Wish List. We'll be bringing it back again next year for further inspiration.

buffyversetop5 will reopen for its 2016 session on January 1, 2017 at midnight UTC (click here for your time zone). So start checking your download folders, your tags, your bookmarks and memories to see what you enjoyed this year and what you want to make sure the Buffyverse community doesn't miss from 2016!

After each session the content on LJ is backed up to our Dreamwidth community. There is also a Whedonverse community at Imzy whose members wanted to have a Classic Recs session there. So if you have (or want) an Imzy account, you're invited to crosspost your recs there. Feel free to ask any questions about that below.
