5 Classic Fics that make me shiver

[sparrow2000.livejournal.com]

Yay for the return of buffyversetop5. Thank you to petzipellepingo and yourlibrarian for continuing to host this lovely celebration of our fandom every year.

Since we’re running up to Halloween, here are five stories that make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. This is a mixture of pairings and canon characters.

For All My Pains A World of Sighs by baudown makes my heart ache at the same time as it gives me chills. This is mainly focused on Spike and his kills and is wonderfully written, and the short section at the end with Xander is haunting and beautiful. This has some slash.

Classic Recs 2019 – Images

[yourlibrarian]

1) Lie to Me by watcherspet. One thing that Tumblr has been great for is for the development of gifsets as a fandom art form. While many of them are just nice collections of scenes, my favorites are the ones which serve as a sort of meta, usually by juxtaposing images (within or across fandoms) or by adding text in a form of commentary.

This was one of my favorites from this past year. The use of these scenes stand in sharp contrast to Giles' efforts to provide a sort of reductive but comforting promise.

2) Someone Needs to Stop Me by Palizinhas. A little Jenny/Giles bit of humor. I'm sure he's not the only librarian to have thought about this.

3) Scooby Aesthetic Spreads by Alien Commune. Yet another form of fanwork that hasn't been around as long.

4) Ebullient Faith by timetobegin. I love the way #7 captures Faith's energy. Wonderful set of icons all around.

5) A little headcanon of mine that takes place after the Prom by Official Rapunzel Fitzherbert. Drawing of Buffy and Giles, wonderfully emotional. "I just like to imagine that they had their ice cream. And there was lots of shmoop."

...sorted by ascending number of Spike legs. I wasn't planning to make this post, but yourlibrarian got me thinking about sorting criteria, and then I had to.
