5 fics that stayed with me

In no particular order...

Title: Happy Xmas (War is over)
Author: Seraphcelene
Rating: Mature
Summary:"Against the tide we struggle with the skin we're in." Dawn, after.
Why I chose it: The characterization of Dawn is so much more than what was explored in cannon. Dawn has never been a character I particularly like, but this made me sympathize with her. It's also BAngel friendly.



Title: Full Disclosure
Author: Leni
Rating: Mature
Summary: Snippet for the alternate-Passion world, where Angelus decides that kidnapping a Slayer would have better results than killing a gypsy. This one is set roughly two years later, within AtS1.
Why I chose it: You cannot go wrong with the Passion'verse. This is one of my favorites because it's so elegantly simple. to 'do' Angelus properly you don't have to over-do him. The small intricacies will take your breath away if you let them.


Title: Triangle
Author: Chrislee
Rating: Teen
Summary: Post series finale. No Cordy. No Spike bashing. No happy endings.
Why I chose it: The perfect union of Angst and hope. This Angel is... poetic.


Title:Concerto for the undead
Author: ShariAruna
Rating: Teen
Summary: Here, dear enemies, a secret for you: Angel makes his own hell every night.
Why I chose it: The important relationships in Angels life are special and shariaruna just gets it.


Title: First Impressions
Author: Riani1
Rating:General
Summary:The stories are bad enough.
Why I chose it: This speaks to my new found love for Giles and the potential of his character. It's short and sweet, and leaves you wanting more.
