These are ones I had to rec as I love them so but didn't fit into any categories. And please pardon my lack of "why this is so great" comments. Other people can write whole paragraphs on that topic. Me? I'm more along the lines of "I really like it." 


Ten Things That Never Happened in the Buffy FandomThe spell that created Dawn didn’t effect just the tv show.
Mr Spike: Spike’s visits to the children’s ward of the hospital.
Business as Usual: From the summary: What if Spike had been telling the truth when he made his sarcastic remark about visiting a nice tea-room at the garbage dump during Season 5’s The Replacement? Eeee! I adore Agnes Pringle.
Magpie: Strange deaths and Xander is somehow a focus. The writing is incredibly beautiful.
Radio Silence From the summary: The Gentlemen drop by Night Vale. This poses something of a problem for a radio host who depends on his voice to communicate. Beer good foamy always writes excellent stories.

Haha, "I really like it" works just fine, and while categories are always fun to see, it's more important that they just end up recced 😊

I don't recall ever seeing that second one, what a cool idea!

Thank you for the very kind rec for Magpie, your lovely words mean a lot! And I haven't read a couple of these other ones so thank you as well for giving me new reading material! :)

I followed Agnes Pringle from the start, but the others are new to me. A fabulous mix!

Business As Usual and Magpie are true classics if you ask me, but I haven't read the other ones yet. They sound very interesting though, so I hope I'll get around to reading them soon!
