My Top Five Darla appearances
Darla is a character I always want to see more in fanfic. And when I do, I generally leap all over it with great gusto. Especially if Spike is involved. Heh.
My Top Five Darla Fic Appearances (listed alphabetically)
Item Title or Description: Awakening to the Dark
Creator’s Name:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Rating: Teen
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/users/itsabigrock/327241.html
Why I chose this: Short, but extremely powerful, this is a really interesting insight into Darla and her potential, before there was anyone else but the Master and her.
Item Title or Description: Darla: The Series - WIP
Creator’s Name:dessert_first
Rating: NC-17 overall
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=dessert_first&keyword=Darla:+The+Series&filter=all
Why I chose this: The premise of this story is absolutely fantastic, and so far the five parts have really delivered. What if Fate or the PTB decide that Darla deserves a go at Angel’s job? Will she succeed? Can she? Some lovely explorations of her relationships with Spike and Lindsey and also Connor’s importance to Darla too, which is something I find infinitely fascinating.
Item Title or Description: Diplomacy
Creator’s Name:frimfram
Rating: PG
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/users/frimfram/27168.html
Why I chose this: Darla is actually amusing in this story. And my, oh my, can she be. As opposed to mean or petty or dominating, which she is as well! Especially when she has Spike as a target.
Item Title or Description: Hubcap Diamondstar Halo
Creator’s Name:deadsoul820
Rating: PG-13 (for mild swearing)
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/users/deadsoul820/49341.html
Why I chose this: This story did a brilliant job at trying to capture Darla at her lowest moment, and yet giving her still a strong, snappy outlook, ever the fighter, ever the survivor. Can’t recommend this fic enough.
Item Title or Description: Revenge
Creator’s Name:deborahmm
Rating: NC-17
Warning: Blood play
Pairing: Predominantly Spike/Darla but mentions of Spike/Drusilla, Angelus/Drusilla, Spike/Angelus
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/users/deborahmm/342140.html
Why I chose this: Possibly the best piece of Fanged Four era Darla characterisation I’ve read this year, in that the story reflects her outward beautiful, perfect exterior but also the interior of a hard as nails, vindictive, manipulator extraordinaire.
