Jan. 1st, 2006 08:56 pmThis "gen fic" category was a little more clear than the last one, I thought. Fics that are mostly focused on one particular character.
Title: Blood Types

Rating: hard R or NC-17 for language and implications of violence, non-con, and general nastiness
Character: Angel
Summary/Sample: Some people taste different to Angel. She had done with men, with fathers, the Father, Him. What she had really wanted was a son. But the closest she will get is in a dank alley that smells like moss and rotting earth. The closest she will get to conception is your murder, and the closest she will get to delivery is the suction of you draining from her the only life she can give. Her womb is a mud-soaked grave, and she births you in cold blood.
Title: The Confessional

Rating:R, for language and some images
Character: Faith
Summary/Sample: Angel visits Faith in prison. Takes places between AtS S1 & 2. This is my turf, my mind. So let’s get a few things straight, shall we? There will be no cuddling. There will be no crying. There will be no condolences, commiseration, or comfort. Don’t like it? Get out. I don’t want you here. I don’t want anyone here.
Title: The First Few Steps

Rating: PG13 for superfluous f-word usage
Character: Angel
Summary/Sample: Angel deals with a more human kind of problem than he's used to. It was harder to do than it sounded, admitting that he had a problem. When you were a monster who had become a champion who had become a human - who had become an alcoholic - things were even more complicated.
Title: In Walked Luck

Rating: R
Character: Spike
Summary/Sample: Spike, pre-series, in Germany. There is one guy, though, who comes in too many times to be a tourist passing through, and while he’s not here often, you think probably it’s because of the way he looks, like a neon sign for rebel, that catches the eye.
Title: A Dance With Death
Author:

Rating: PG
Character: Spike
Summary/Sample: Pre-series - finding the Chinese slayer. Rather, he was driven with a need, a burning desire to find this girl, this human whose sole purpose was the destruction of his kind.
