5 Time Travel Fics

[dragonyphoenix]

A story I'm currently reading, Off Your Bird's The Darkling, inspired this list. Buffy goes to that demon in Africa to get Spike back. He sends her to NYC in 1970. It's lovely to see their roles reversed, to see Buffy longing for a Spike who's slowly becoming convinced.

Carrie's Take Your Time is an old favorite. Spike decides to use Willow for a time travel spell that will allow him to kill Angel in the past. She's determined to stop him. Nothing goes to either of their plans. It's very romancey and quite delightful. The sequel, which is also awesome, is incomplete. Ooh, and I was reminded I should add parings. Liam falls for Willow, Angelus is obsessed with her, and Angel loves her much to Willow's dismay because he's supposed to love Buffy. Spike and Willow have a friends with benefits thing going.

I'd been thinking it'd be nice to rec one of whichclothes' stories. She wrote great Spander fics.In Memento Mori: Hominem Te Memento Xander falls for William which is sort of a problem because he's in William's past to make sure that William gets Turned by Drusilla.

In Eurydice72's Legion of True Hearts, Buffy and William are dreaming of each other due to the interference of an, um, interfering witch. I'm mid-story but loving it so far.

Apparently I have a thing for romance. Who knew?  Unbridled Brunette's Forward to Times Past, another time travel Spuffy fic, this one to Victorian London, is just brill.

Um, is Take Your Time gen or does it have a pairing?

Great question! Liam falls for Willow and so Angelus is obsessed with her. When she jumps back to the present, Angel loves her rather than Buffy which has Willow all upset because she's messed up how things are supposed to be. But it's also Spike/Willow and he also becomes obsessed after Dru's attention sort of fades. I think that last bit's in the sequel though.

Thanks for pointing out that I hadn't shared the couples. I should probably fix that.
