Forging Bonds: What can I say? I'm a sucker for a story that will make me believe an unusual pairing. This is Tara/Faith and it set in a universe where everyone's either a dom, sub, or switch. Tara's the dom.
Bread: uses bread as a metaphor for Willow and Tara's relationship. It's just so heartwarming and beautiful.
The Lamb: Tara works in a hospice helping people cross over when it's their time. Willow, last of the Scoobies, is brought in as a coma patient.
Sapling: Willow, Faith, and three Jewish holidays.
From Beneath You It Devours: Eee, a crossover with the Carmilla web series!

1 “control” by The_Eclectic_Bookworm

Giles and Jenny switch up their usual roles for a change.

2 “The Edge” by TheSigyn

Spike and Buffy use role play and BDSM to overcome trauma in their pasts.

3 “Tradition and Protocol” by antennapedia

A dedication ritual between Watchers and their Slayers requires some painful experiences.

4 “Sanctuary” by DHW

A post-canon Buffy/Giles fic that puts Fifty Shades to shame.

5 “The Rough Stuff” by TheScholarlyStrumpet

Another Buffy/Giles PWP with BDSM vibes. What can I say, I clearly have a type. 😂

ijemanja's Her Beauty and Her Terror does what I would have thought impossible. It pairs up Wednesday Addams with Harmony Kendall. Really. And it's quite believable too.

It's always fun to come across a story that pushes you out your comfort zone as far as ships are concerned. Here are five rare(ish) pairings - I say 'ish' because one isn't really, but it's so awesome I had to include it! *g*

In Nairobi in the Rain by inlovewithnight, Xander meets a strangely familiar girl in a Nairobi bar and realises it is Fred, who died a few weeks before. There’s just something about the atmosphere of this fic that haunts me - it’s just lovely.

( This way to more lovely stuff... )

So these are basically crossovers with a twist. Characters from one story appear in another. First up, Beer Good Foamy's Radio Silence. The Gentlemen come to Night Vale. Tune in to check out how Cecil keeps the broadcast going when everyone loses their voices.

I’ve said many times before, but it bears repeating that I love

baudown’s ability to tell a big story so economically. What Gives is a series of drabbles in which Xander tends to Spike’s injuries and Spike allows himself to be tended to.

Five Giles/Spike shortfics, by the request of

Four Step Programme by

brutti_ma_buoni, R-rated. Post ‘The Gift’, Spike and Giles have reasons to get closer. More humour than angst or romance.

1. rebelrsr’s Forging Bonds - dom/sub ‘verse with Tara as the dom.

2. Naughty Fae’s Whitechapel - Spike/Xander in an all human AU based on Ripper Street

3. Deja Without a View -

velvetwhip’s masterful retelling of

aadler’s amazing Dust Over Pompeii for the Circle of Friends remix. Willow/Riley. I could have chosen to remix this story but I looked at it and told myself it was an impossible remix. I was so very, very wrong.

4.

booster17’s Sleeper - Xander/Faith. If I describe the story, I’ll give it away. This has been one of my faves since I first read it.

5.

drsquidlove’s New York - Xander/Giles. This is an amazing epic. I really can’t sum it up better than the author: Xander is thirty-seven. Divorced. Two kids. 4000 miles from Sunnydale and his Hellmouth childhood. Also, straight. Only someone forgot to tell Giles. In fact... where the hell is Giles?

dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com

I tend to go for stories where the victim's/slaves'/whatever-you-want-to-call-it thought-patterns are being changed; largely, I think, because there is a parallel to how we are molded by job/society. However, not all of these are dark.
But ... not worksafe. None of them. Don't even think of opening them at the office unless you work at this place (see last strip).
Edited: I now know where the last story is.

1) Ash Carpenter's The Show: Angel, to better infiltrate the Black Thorn, presents Spike as his slave. This one is very dark.

sueworld2003 contributes awe-inspiring art to the community, sets a standard of excellence for the rest of us, and always has an encouraging comment for other would-be manippers.

Here are 5 works by

sueworld2003 that I think are a good representation of her art. I have written my thoughts about the each piece (and hopefully I am not too far off from the artist’s intent). You can see much more of her beautiful work at her flickr site here.

Always Young (Worksafe)

I am affected as soon as I open this piece. I can sense the stillness of the woods and the chill in the air. I could look at this one for hours and continue to marvel at the choices in composition, color, and blending. How did she know to place each branch so perfectly or to choose just the right shade? The way she uses the space takes my breath away. It's easy to get lost in this one.

It’s no secret that I’m a Xander-centric writer and reader, so here are five Xander fics that really got under my skin in 2012.

Xander’s Kingdom by

il_mio_capitano is terrific Xander, Giles Gen. The boys have been in the desert searching for a magical dodaah for Buffy, but things haven’t gone exactly to plan. The atmosphere in this is great and there are lines of dialogue that just kill me. (Xander, Giles, PG13)

( And here are the rest... )

These are some of the Spangel stories that I can't gelp reading over and over again

1. Dark Skies by Jenny - Story summary that she gives: William meets a stranger at one of his mother's card parties. The echoes of that meeting haunt him, until insane, alone in the basement of Sunnydale High School, Spike has to find the strength to face the author of his nightmares.

I don't know why, but this story made the best sense to me as to why Spike would hate Angel for so long

http://www.squashduck.com/ltd/darkskiesfic/index.htm

2. Friday by

girlpire - Story summary that she gives: What would you do if there were no tomorrow?

I absolutely LOVE the writing in this one!!

http://girlpire.livejournal.com/137712.html

3. Subspace by

toobusy2write - Story summary that she gives: AU human - Days after Spike turns eighteen, he gets sucked into a whole new world by a mysterious man, but is it one he's ready for?

This story just sucked me in right from the get go!!

http://toobusy2write.livejournal.com/80106.html#cutid1

4. Beauty and the Beast by Shara Nesu - Story summary she gives: Obsession controlled Angelus’ life and now it controls Angel. For centuries, he wanted to own and fantasized about one person - Spike. Angel never believed that he would ever possess Spike, but one day, after an accident while fighting some demons, Spike loses his memory. Will Angel tell the truth to Spike? Or will he lie?

I just LOVE this story!!

http://www.redssoulmates.com/angel_spike/shara%20nesu/beautyandthebeast.htm

5. Lost and Found by Pet and Foxhunt2blue Story summary they give: Twenty-five years after the final battle against the senior partners Spike finds something he thought he'd lost

Again, this story just sucked me in right from the get go!!

Freedom by

purplefeen:

When Spike grows tired of being beaten down in his relationship with Buffy, he finds solace in a D/s relationship with Willow that blossoms into something that changes both their lives for the better. This is an adult story for adult readers who are looking for something both affecting and erotic. No one writes sexy Spillow better than this lady, and this story is proof.

Five fun fics in which Spike and/or Buffy struggle against their attraction. But not that hard.

I love a good, plotty fic. I'm also partial to a well-written piece of erotica. If it has some semblance of plot, great, but of course it doesn't have to. Not really the point.

Erotica, of course, is very much in the eye of the beholder (as it were), and these five fics won't appeal to everyone, but they're all well-written, (and hot IMO). Having said which, please heed ratings/warnings etc posted here, as well as on the fics themselves.

Empty Rooms, Shuttered and Dank, by

nomelon, Angel/Spike/Riley, Hard R/NC17. The author makes this rather unlikely threesome all too believable, with her trademark gritty prose. I swear you can almost smell the sweat.

Five fics that I've thoroughly enjoyed reading in 2008 and which all had one thing in common. Varying degrees of 'kink' as well as some darn good writing and characterization. ( Read more... )

And the poor girl certainly has had a lot to lose in her young life. These ficlets and shots all revolve around that central, reoccuring theme that Dawn must constantly adapt to and cope with. The stories range in scope from Buffy running away after S2 and her death in S6, to the deaths of Joyce, Tara and Justin. One thing all these works have in common? Some really, really superb Dawn characterization.

1. The Flowers You Gave Me by hands_of_blue
Dawn, Spike, PG, the summers between S2/S3 and S5/S6
Summary: It’s a special kind of day when it rains in Sunnydale.

Review: What I enjoyed so much about this fic is the slow evolution of Dawn's understanding of disappearance and death, first viewed from a child's eyes and then as a teenager. This fic touches on that inalienable truth of how perception changes with time and that patterns and cycles regularly arise. It's also a beautiful, tight piece that brings all the imagery back together by the end, sinching the story up neatly.

Buffy, Angel and Spike ideally complement each other whether they fight or make love or try to live together without killing each other. Unfortunately there aren't many fics about the Royal Three nowadays - my guess is that the famous threesome panel in Buffy comics left nothing to imagination. Still, there are insightful fics (not necessarity NC-17) about Buffy, Angel and Spike, their ultra-complicated relationship and their attempts at harmony in the middle of chaos. The stories listed here are varied - there is a plotty epic story, a snarky, no-holds-barred parody and several character studies during different stages of heroes' journeys.

In an aging fandom like ours, it's always reassuring to see an influx of new blood every year or even every couple of months. Here are a few of 2008's enductees and fics of theirs that I enjoyed. The list includes a selection of gen and pairing fics of varying lengths.

1. A Man of Many Colors by

snickfic
Oz, G, through BtVS S2 "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered"
Summary: A character study through Oz's hair dying decisions.

Review: Talk about bang for your buck. Snickelish takes one facet of Oz's personality - his ever changing hair color - and goes the distance with it by digging deep and creating a backstory that does a lot to shed some light on a character whose past and inner workings were barely even touched on in canon. I felt very satisfied after reading this and more than once thought, "Yes. That makes so much sense." Creative, deep, and somewhat sad, this shot definately makes you wonder what other hidden worlds there are to explore within Buffy and Angel's large ensemble cast.

My first post here, hope I did it right.

I'm fairly new to the Buffyverse fandom, and only discovered the fandom slash about three months ago. WooBoy, there is so much amazingly well written stuff, I couldn't begin to pick five favorites. So, I decided to just give you the five slash WIPs, I'm avidly following into 2009. [Please note, I'm really bad at summaries!]

Each of the following fics (and authors) left an indelible impression on me as a reader years ago, but I also credit them with heavily influencing my own work. I have always been interested in the interplay between sexuality-as-plot-device and how intimate encounters can work to reveal hidden truths about characters. These stories do just that while also exploring a theme near and dear to me - the value memory and rememberance.

1. By Way of Pain by AmyB
RATING: NC-17 for heavy BDSM and bloodplay
SETTING: Season 6
PAIRING: Spike/Buffy, Spike/Drusilla
SUMMARY: During Dead Things, Spike muses on his experiences with bondage through the years and its effects on who he has become.

I'm in awe of these writers - not only because they create such rich stories, but because they manage to mix all the parts of 3 people together and STILL make the sex hot. I'll go back and read (and re-read) these over and over again. These are all NC-17 because... well... I'm here for the naughty.

( three are often better than two )

katekat

The fics this year that made me go GUH! All have a incredibly hot sex (evoking the state of 'guh-ness'), fun plot, and many more than one chapter. Also, no matter how angsty they get, they all have that tricky kind of happy ending that makes me pleased I spent all that time reading. Oh, and they're all slash except for the last one.

( bring on the GUH! )

These fics revolve around the premise that Angel is in severe physical and/or mental distress. I didn't actually plan on making it all Spangel, but Spike insisted on running to the rescue, so the list just got even more specific on its own. Make sure to check each fic for warnings, because there is definitely some mature subject matter involved in most of these stories.
