Five fics by Anaross

[moscow-watcher.livejournal.com]

In my humble opinion anaross is one the finest BtVS ficwriters. Her works are a happy marriage of intriguing plots, sharp observations of human behavior and, often, reflections on the creative process.

Unspoken R
Spike/Buffy. Post-NFA. One day Buffy finds out that somebody gave her a garden... You may read the story as a straightforward Spuffy reunion fic or as a wry reflection on verbal and non-verbal communication between people.

Long Day's Journey PG-13
Ensemble, Spike/Buffy, post-Chosen. Alternate AtS season 5 in which Spike investigates the Connor mystery, Buffy investigates Spike's refusal to see her, and anaross investigates different approaches to an unreliable-narrator-type of a story.

My Life Closed Twice R
Spike/Buffy. Post-NFA, Buffy discovers shanshued Spike who teaches poetry in a college. His attempts to lead quiet life are ruined as Buffy Summers enrolls in his class. anaross, who held panels at several Writercons, gives Spike her own job and invites us to visit a creative laboratory of an author and a poet.

Ransomed R
Ensemble, Spike/Faith. Spike, Faith and Giles run a school for new slayers in LA suburb. anaross explores the most fascinating aspect of Buffyverse - moral dilemmas characters face every day.

Stay R
Spike/Buffy. I won't spoil it for you - but here's a warning: prepare a lot of tissues for that one.

"Anything by Anaross" is my motto of a Spuffy fanfic'ho. :)

What I particularly love about her is her ability to maintain a fair balance. Her Spike/Faith stories are respectful to Spuffy pairing, and in her Spuffy epilogue of "Ransom" she is respectful to Spike/Faith pairing.
