5 Stories I Wasn't Able to Find
I asked and was told it was okay to post recs for stories I couldn't find the links to. Anyone know where any of these are?
Edited: I'm posting links to the stories as I learn what they are.

1) AtS, a short story I believe. A plague, created by humans I think, has been unleashed on the world. The Hyperion has become something of a safe house, keeping people physically safe from demons if not the plague virus. I think Lorn and some witches hightailed it out of there but were unable to take non-magical humans who wouldn't have survived in the other dimension. Cordelia and two others are sitting on the roof, looking at the sunset maybe. The other two go back in and, once they are out of sight, Cordelia starts showing signs of the plague (coughing?). Then she gets up, squares her shoulders, and goes back down to do the work of the day. Basically hiding the disease from everyone and getting on with the work.


2) BtVS. This story might have multiple chapters. Willow has crossed dimensions to find herself in one where she's in a relationship with Giles. Tara is part of the group in this dimension but does not love Willow. I think it ends with Willow falling for Giles and getting pregnant in a happy-about-it kind of way. Edit: The story I've described here is DragonyDream's Home, but Not Home and it was great to read again. Apparently I'm looking for two stories with this description: in the other Willow had broken a bone and was staying at Giles because she could be there without having to go up and down stairs (guest room on first floor) and they fall for each other over the course of the story. Another Edit: And the second story this was referenceing is also by DragonyDreams: Tumblin' Down.

3) BtVS. Multiple chapters. I might have read this one on fanfiction.net. Willow and Angel (possibly Angelus?) having meetings for coffee. I think it was Angelus and he's sort of courting her but subtly because he knows she thinks he should be with Buffy. Also, if he is Angelus, Willow still thinks he's Angel. Unfinished if I recall. Edit: Coffee and Thoughts as well as Dark Coffee by Lucinda.

4) BtVS. Multiple chapters. At some point in this fic the ensemble, fleeing the Knights of Byzantium, take sanctuary in a convent where the saint is a demon (but a good demon-saint, not an evil demon-saint). There might have been some dimensional hopping but that's all I can recall of this one. Xander-centric I think. Edit: And the winner is Career Change by Two Ladies of Quality.

5) Firefly. One-shot. Jayne and Mal have finished up in a brothel when River comes in, looking for a lover (more permanent, not a quickie). She picks Janye, over Mal, because Jayne is basically more affectionate, braiding his girl's hair in the afterglow while Mal is done and back to being captain. River tells Jayne she'll learn to knit ugly hats for him.
