Since I adore Willow/Angel fics, I thought it only fitting to share five that I find outstanding (though narrowing this down to five was tough) By the way, these are Willow/Angel, there are no Willow/Angelus fics here...I may do a list of those later:



1) The Abracadabra Series FRAO by [livejournal.com profile] sabershadowkat: An absolute classic in the Willow/Angel pairing. There is romance, sex, adventure, and fun with drinking games a-plenty to be had in this delightful tale of friendship turning into so much more when Willow decides to help Angel stop brooding.

2) The Teacher's Pet Series FRAO by [livejournal.com profile] dragonydreams: You won't find a better way to introduce a first time reader to this pairing than Elisabeth's charming tale of Angel helping Willow learn to kiss (and a good bit more...hee). It's sweet, romantic, and, oh yeah, pretty darn sexy, too!

3) Long Hard Road Out of Hell FRAO by [livejournal.com profile] claudia6913: At the opposite end of the spectrum, here is a very dark and disturbing tale of Willow encountering Angel just after his return from Hell. It's exceptional, but not for the faint of heart. There's rape and character death in this story, so do be warned. Still, it's an outstanding tale and, if you like dark!fic, it's a must-read.

4) Should Have Been, Still Could Be FRAO by [livejournal.com profile] emnorth: If you've ever wondered what might have happened in Doppelgangland if Angel and Vamp!Willow had gotten a chance to spend some quality time together, this is your fic! A VERY hot and spicy tale of how Vamp!Willow learns that Angel is no Puppy! Em North is one of the very best writers in fanfiction and this tale shows that she can bring those skills to a PWP and make it something special!

5) Leap Before You Look FRAO by [livejournal.com profile] emeraldswan: While at first glance, this seems like a PWP, it has a lot of emotion and is really a wonderful character study of Willow just after Oz left. That's not to say it isn't hot, because it sure is! But the smut is beautifully balanced by a lovely portrait of two people at an awkward time in their lives coming together and sharing something meaningful.




I could have added so many more stories to this list, but the limit is five, so...my apologies to everyone I left off! I love your stories, I really do!
