5 Buffy/Angel stories that could have been cannon..

In no particular order...




Title: What we believe
Author: Leni
Rating: Teen
Summary: Buffy remembers. Sort of.
The kiss under daylight, the afternoon in his bed, the tear-soaked parting (even that is beautiful, because she understands what he's sacrificing for her.)

Title: Destruction
Author: wrenrambles
Rating: Mature
why I chose it: The Buffy/Angel scenes were great of course, the author hit all the Major moments in the first few seasons, and incorporated our favorite quotes. This read like a what-if that could have came straight out of "the wish"

Title: From a distance
Author: Foxinator
Rating: Worksafe
Summary: Even when they're apart, Buffy and Angel still shape each other's experiences.
Why I chose it: Spot on excellent characterizations of both Angel AND Buffy. Beautiful and sad and perfect.

Title: Older
Author: Kairos
Rating: Worksafe
Summary: Buffy was Chosen when she was sixteen instead of fifteen. She moves to Sunnydale for her junior year of high school. Everyone else is proportionally older as well. That's it. That's the only change.

Title: Never a saint
Author: Fluffernutter8
Rating: Worksafe
Summary:Angel accidentally wakes up with her one more morning. That doesn't mean that everything goes smoothly.
Why I chose it: The road to happily ever after is riddled with forks, bumps, cracked pavement, and confusing signs. I love that this story deviates from the usual IWRY tales.

Older is a fave of mine. I love the subtlety of the changes.

Older is a favorite of mine as well, such a simple concept executed artfully.
