Scenes from Another Perspective

The Joss!verse is peopled (or "creatured") with lots of characters with their own motivation and dreams. Here are a few fics that tell a part of their stories.

One Friday Night (Spike, Willie, Buffy) by winsomeone

A Willie’s-eye-view of a badly beaten Spike and the Slayer. Part of the tension is not knowing when this story is set. Shhh. PG

poetic yet weaselly

Maybe it works so well because, while we all knew about Snyder's weasel side, the poet side was a surprise.

There were many, many stories by you and by deird1 that met the criteria, but many had already been recced. I'm happy to know that you are both being fully acknowledged, even if I don't get to do it myself.

That's very sweet of you! I don't know about deird1 but for me, coming late to fandom makes it seem less enticing to ship in a big way, and more to try and write round the edges of what's gone before. I mean, I do do both, but Spuffy is well catered for - 'Snyder is a person too' fic is a little less frequent!

[deird1]

Agreed.

With all the big ships, there are thousands of stories already. I want to do something different.
