5 Stories that Diverge from canon

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

1. In James' and Wolfling's Sands of Time series, Xander avoids a beating at home by showing up on Giles' doorstep. His life diverges from there.

2. Liz Marcs is part of either the first or second waves of authors I discovered when I stared reading fanfic. A Gift of Ordinary Magic, a crossover with Harry Potter, contains two non-canon verses, one with magic and the other without. To save his friends, Xander has to keep magic from fading away. Nice, heartwarming story.

3. One of the verses in Aadler's Dusk Over Pompeii isn't canon but oh my Goddess it should be. He does a wonderful job of conveying a fascinating premise, which I can't divulge because it's a slow reveal.

4. A haunted car. A Xander. A very funny drabble. Khriskin's Four Wheels and a Prayer.

5. Last but far from the least, Lyl's In Another Life. I can't quite call it an AU because it's post-series if you discount the comics, but on the other hand I'm certain canon was never going to include Willow dating Don Eppes from Numb3rs.

Thanks. Yeah, Goodreads has trouble reccing books for me. Whatever categories they group on are not the same ones that I do.

"I'm certain canon was never going to include Willow dating Don Eppes from Numb3rs" And that's a shame, they seem like perfect match.
Thanks for helping my reading list grow nicely ;)

They are a great match, aren't they. And you're welcome. I hope you enjoy / are enjoying these stories.

Those are definitely some authors that haven't been mentioned in quite some time so thanks for this.

Thanks. Three of them are old favorites of mine but I've just discovered the other two. It's nice to have a chance to share so thanks for that.

Just read Dusk Over Pompeii -- an interesting mix of possible storylines there. And it had an implied pairing that always made sense to me but I've never seen anyone do, Willow/Riley.

If a self-rec is acceptable — since you’ve already been looking at my stuff — you might check my “Long Time Passing” for other implied Willow/Riley. And velvetwhip has a whole W/R section in her personal fic list. ☺

I see that's a remix of one of Velvetwhip's stories so it seems like a good one to start with. Thanks!

I love how those storylines work together. Such a fascinating story.

[aadler]

You just keep pointing at me. I love it, and I’m grateful.

Hey, it's not my fault you're writing rec'able stories. ;-)

I really love this one.

Sands of Time was the first fic I ever read and the dearest to my heart!

I don't recall the very first fanfic I ever read. I did roundup stories from the first and second waves of fanfic I read for last year's top 5. That was fun.
