Top 5 Stories I Was Led to By a Meta

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Today my Tumblr feed included Alkeni's meta Amy Madison: A Dark Mirror and a Distant Echo. I'm not always big on meta but I did like this. It inlcuded a link to two of her stories, also about Amy Madison. I followed one of Alkeni's bookmarks and discovered stories by ScienceOfficerWillowRosenberg. So all of these recs come from me browsing off of a meta.

1. The Spellbook and


2. The Spellbook: Another Path which each posit that Catherine Madison's spellbook followed Amy to her Dad's house.


3. Alkeni's bookmarks inluded a story written for him, The Morning After the Night Before Christmas, by ScienceOfficerWillowRosenberg. This goes back to one of the themes from the meta, that Amy is a distant echo of Faith. Two characters who've overindulged in their powers finding, maybe not redemption, but a chance to move on.


4. Because of Bribery, I realized that I like stories where Faith influences Dawn, not necessarily in a bad way but at least in a mischevious way.


5. Butterfiles - aww, the first time Tara rubbed Willow's belly.

Edited: 1/11/17: Alkeni is a guy. Fixed reference changing her to him.

I always love it when I find good fic in unexpected places. So far have checked out Bribery, which I enjoyed very much. Looking forward to catching up with the rest.

Damn, I'd love to see that kind of Dawn and Faith on the show!
I should check out other recs, too, they look very promising =)

Yeah, I'd loved to have seen that kind of Dawn and Faith as well.

Just fyi

Glad you liked my meta and my stories! ^^

Just one thing - I'm actually a guy. I'm not upset at the mistake or anything - given that fandom in general and the Buffy fandom in particular are disproportionately female, it's an easy thing to assume, but I am male, just for reference. ^^

D'oh! I usually try to be careful with that too! Fixed it in the post.
