Remembering Lorne

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

In March, Andy Hallett, the talented actor that portrayed Lorne on AtS, died at age 33. Here are some views of everybody’s favorite green demon with a throat (and heart) of gold:

Once More, With Lorne by hello_spikey
Lorne hears a rumor about a singing and dancing demon in Sunnydale, and goes to check it out. PG13

The Moment I Wake Up by beer_good_foamy
When Lorne first arrived on our shores, things were kinda confusing. PG13

In Memorium by mere_ubu PG

A couple of holiday-themed works containing Mr. Green:

A Valentine’s Bouquet - of Gen Rare Character Drabbles! by brutti_ma_buoni
Seasonal musings from the single. PG13

Santa Lorne by lil_coyote
If you aren’t a member of nekid_spike , you can see the image unlocked on my journal. Contains a tad more of Lorne than you might be used to seeing, but still PG.

Bonus:
Andy/Lorne tribute link round-up on rarebtvs

What a lovely idea for a list! Thanks so much for doing this!

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Of course, now I keep thinking of more things that should have gone on the list...

[angearia.livejournal.com]

What a fabulous list!

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I've got more, too!

[hello-spikey.livejournal.com]

*sniffles* He was one in a million.

Thanks for rec'ing!

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

You wrote a lovely story. *double sniff*

Um, maybe you can help me find that wacky NC17 Cordy/Lorne story that somebody did for somebody else this year? Thoughts? I've looked all over, but without an author I'm stymied.

[angelus2hot]

Sorry to budge in but might you be looking for the Cordy/Lorne fic written by purplefeen?

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

There's more than one? Be still, my heart. It turns out it is a piece by brutti_ma_buoni, which I have listed below. Now I'm going to go looking for the purplefeen one!

[hello-spikey.livejournal.com]

No clue, sorry dear! I went through the NS archive looking for Lorne's tags to no avail!

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

No worries! The author, brutti_ma_buoni claimed it, so I'm a happy camper. Turns out, there is yet another Cordy/Lorne fic, from purplefeen, so it just goes to show you that anything is possible. I was surprised that neither of these turned up on nekid_spike or rarebtvs, but it's good to know that they're out there!

[hello-spikey.livejournal.com]

Yay! I shall have to check out. Always love Cordy. She could use a man who's less broody. :)

[menomegirl.livejournal.com]

What a wonderful list. Thank you!

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy you are enjoying it!

[yourlibrarian]

I'm so glad someone did a post like this. And love the story idea for the first one!

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

It's a terrific story. I keep thinking of more Lorne stories, though.

[cozzybob.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay!! Lorne tributes are a must this year--March was a very sad month, and Lorne should be celebrated for his terrific awesomeness. *hugs* Thanks for the links.

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. If Lorne taught us anything, it was to share the joy!

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

I'm glad someone did a Lorne list (and The Moment I Wake Up is a favourite). I love the Santa Lorne with sparklers!

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

Tee! Isn't he festive? Thanks for your contribution, too. Of course, once I'd posted the list, I found Marketing Genius on AO3:

http://archiveofourown.org/works/24508

Brilliant!

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you. I've a feeling that's from 2008 and not eligible for this year's recs, but I'm glad you found it and laughed.

[shapinglight]

Great list. I miss Lorne!

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

It's weird, because I miss all of it. But with Mr. Hallett dead, it seems more final, y'know? *sniff* I just wish I could find that wonderful Cordy/Lorne NC17 by (i_dont_remember_who)! That was a big, sweet surprise!

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Umm, mine again? (http://brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com/49574.html) I can't be sure from the description, but there isn't a whole lot of that pairing out there. *g*

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

OMG! It is! You devil you! I never would have thought of you first for the sweaty, I must admit. Now it all comes back to me. I would never have even read the story if it didn't have the stamp of quality (your name, in this case). Here is the pertinent info for people combing the comments:

One Night In Heaven (http://brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com/49574.html) (Cordy/Lorne) by brutti_ma_buoni
Having trouble adjusting to life as not-a-Princess, Cordy finds that Lorne is a friend in deed. You heard right. NC17

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

*g* My kinkmeme phase - anonymity is a wonderful inspiration!

[angelus2hot]

What an awesome list of Lorne love!

He's one of my very favorite characters to read and write! Lorne had so much untapped potential on the show it's a joy to see him get the love he so richly deserved even if it's only in fanfiction!

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it's because there was lots left unsaid that characters are such rich ground for fanfic. Witness the latest Darla ficathon. 400 years we don't know a whole lot about makes for some great stories.

But right you are about Lorne-babes! You have lots of really nice Lorne art over at still__grrr, but not much fic, alas. Can you suggest where to start?

[angelus2hot]

Here is a list of some of the Lorne fics that I've posted. The first three are mainly about how he's dealing(or not dealing) with losing Fred

Losing Fred, And The List Goes On, Still Part Of The Family, Come As You Aren't Night, Bobbing For Apples, Vampire Style and The Man That She Loves This one is Lorne helping Gunn and Fred get back together. I included it just because I adore Lorne.


Just in case any of the links go screwy(cause sometimes my codes do that) My Master list of fiction is here: http://angelus2hot.livejournal.com/42757.html#cutid1


This also made me look into all the Lorne centric links I'd saved over the years. I was astounded to find that almost all of them are gone! And that includes the nudechocolatelorne society! I can't believe they're gone...all those great fics that I didn't save :(

I only managed to find one link that was still working but I didn't snoop to see if they had the fanfiction still up.

Thanks for sharing the links! This post might turn out to be the go-to for Lorne related things!

[celtic-forest.livejournal.com]

What a nice remembrance! I cried back when I heard the news.
Here's a video of Andy singing with Christian Kane's band ("Kane"). Andy comes in about 3 minutes into the video, so you could just jump ahead.

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

Thanks for sharing this with all of us!

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Thanks a lot for putting this list together, and for including me as well. Andy is missed.

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

I couldn't possibly leave you off this list. "Lorne's heart jumped out of his ass"? C'mon! Pure poetry! (Well, to me it is. YMMV.) Thanks for writing it. There is never enough Lorne.

[lusciousxander.livejournal.com]

A beautiful list! Andy will be missed.

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

We're lucky that we got such a wonderful few years, but I think it's natural to want even more.

[baby-elvis.livejournal.com]

What a lovely way to honour Andy's memory and talent.

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

There's so much more out there, but we must start someplace.

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

Haven't even started checking any of the year's posts, but I'm stopping by to tell you how touched I am by this affectionate tribute.

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

I'm glad it struck a chord with you. It's turning up all sorts of other good Lorne stuff, so I'm pleased.

[sockmonkeyhere.livejournal.com]

LORNE! I lurves him! Thank you for this list! :D

Here's another fic I bet you'll enjoy: Talking Heads by Washaway. It's Lorne and Andrew trapped in a closet (literally, not slashily), and it's one of the funniest things I've ever read. *g*

You're welcome, sweetie! That was a corker, all right. Thanks for sharing the link!
