Why I chose this: Why is it that so many of us are enamoured with Dark!Wes? I think this fic does an excellent job of explaining that fascination. The line With me, at least you have a bucket. gave me shivers on top of my shivers.
Item Title or Description: "Between the Motion and the Act"
Creator’s Name:alwaysjbj

Why I chose this: A well-written study into the life and times of Wesley, detailing what made him the way he was from boy to dark, dark man. Poignant and memorable.
Item Title or Description: "Flash Before Your Eyes"
Creator’s Name:vampirefever

Why I chose this: This fic was written in January and has stayed with me the whole year. I adored the way the writer linked the passing of the year to the changing situations in Wesley’s life, until the bittersweet end of the fic and... ::sniffle::
Item Title or Description: "Pet Deposit"
Creator’s Name:versaphile
Rating: PG

Why I chose this: A break from the angst that so usually dominates Wesley-centric fic. This is engaging and lmao-funny. Reminds me exactly why I cling to Season 1 Wes with both hands and feet!
Item Title or Description: "The Lost"
Creator’s Name:caoilainn
Rating: All

Why I chose this: Written more as a eulogy to Wesley, it seems to me exceptionally right that it be Giles who delivers it. Terribly heart-breaking but also revelling in what made Wesley such a well-loved and intriguing character. This fic made me cry and that’s happened not many times this year!
