Top 5 Non-Canon Pairings

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

1. rebelrsr’s Forging Bonds - dom/sub ‘verse with Tara as the dom.

2. Naughty Fae’s Whitechapel - Spike/Xander in an all human AU based on Ripper Street

3. Deja Without a View - velvetwhip’s masterful retelling of aadler’s amazing Dust Over Pompeii for the Circle of Friends remix. Willow/Riley. I could have chosen to remix this story but I looked at it and told myself it was an impossible remix. I was so very, very wrong.

4. booster17’s Sleeper - Xander/Faith. If I describe the story, I’ll give it away. This has been one of my faves since I first read it.

5. drsquidlove’s New York - Xander/Giles. This is an amazing epic. I really can’t sum it up better than the author: Xander is thirty-seven. Divorced. Two kids. 4000 miles from Sunnydale and his Hellmouth childhood. Also, straight. Only someone forgot to tell Giles. In fact... where the hell is Giles?

Deja Without A View is so excellent.

Yeah, I'm amazed that she had the courage to even try to remix that story of aadler's, much less that she did such an amazing job with it. I took one look at it the year before and went right past.

New York!!! One of my favorite Xander/Giles fics, along with The Giles Thing.

Dr. Squidlove writes some great fics!
