Excellent Tales of Other Slayers

[dragonyphoenix]

Snowpuppies Chosen is a series of vignettes, Slayers and their Watchers. They're short and they're all dark, but they're amazing. Note, Snowpuppies lists Mission Accomplished as an inspiration for these stories but here link is broken. You can read it here.

This Little Light by nwhepcat is one I'd read ages ago and had forgotten. I'm delighted to find it again. It's a delight of a fic. It starts in Papua New Guinea which is not her native home but she did her research and it shows. Wow does it show.

Ah, deird1's No Words. Chao-Ahn's (season 7) point of view. I love how she takes a character who's there as a joke and turns her story into something poignant.

gloss' Theses on a Philosophy of Power. During the Bolshevik Revolution, a Slayer finds her own calling. Very interesting to watch her awakening along with that of the workers around her, making parallels with her subjugation to theirs. And I love that she decides to live by her own rules even knowing the consequences. Nicely done.

Ruuger's We Make Our Own Magic. A Potential who was never called but fought in her own war all the same. This one's beautiful, an amazing story. I highly recommend it. I've just been told this story is locked on AO3; you have to have an account to read it.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've updated the text. I had no idea locking stories was even an option on AO3!

So many tales of other slayers have been so good, thanks for the list!

And yes, as Petzi points out the last one is locked to AO3 account holders only but please just add that to the description.

That is one of my favorite categories.

I've made a note on Ruuger's story about it being locked. Thanks for letting me know.
