Whoo, we're getting lots of meta this round!

Thanks so much for these. I obviously missed an awful lot of meta last year.

I was hoping other people would post most metas, in part because I've been wanting to find ones I missed so - YAY to you for the meta love! The only here I can recall reading is the one by lostboy_lj. I don't even remember the Anne meta and I was sure I'd read everything gabs had written.

ETA: Following the link I just read rpowell's meta from 2011 about The First in S7 (http://rpowell.livejournal.com/113035.html?view=228491#t228491). It's nice to read meta from an actual S7 fan; I can't wait to read his meta about Giles and Buffy.

So thanks again for these recs!

Great choices! A couple of these are new to me, and all of the are fascinating!
