I really admire people who can put visuals together, either art or videos. I can play with words to my heart’s content, but pictures are way beyond me. Here are five vids that have got under my skin over the years.

If you’re looking for a reminder that Buffy wasn’t just about quips and kicky boots, then
Bad Mood Rising by Robin’s Revenge is just the ticket. I love the use of a much more brooding version of this song to look at the darker side of Scoobydom.

There are so many awesome videos in Youtube! I've discovered all these wonderful gems recently, but they were created before 2016.

Okay, maybe not "we're all mad" but each of these features madness.

1. nwhepcat's Keeper of the Book is new to me so my comments are from my first read - Wow, the tension is amazing. Half-way through and I still don’t know what’s driving Xander. He tried to kill Cordelia. Giles, and in fact the entire Council in London, are missing. I have no idea what’s going to happen. … And I just finished it. Wow. Wow wow wow. Read this. Now.

the rest of the recs are taking one step beyond )

1. Dead!Giles 'verse by [livejournal.com profile] thea_bromine. Spike helps a dying Giles. Things get strange.

2. Of Old Mystics by Omphalos and [livejournal.com profile] wolfling. After the Council has fallen, Giles rescues Ethan from the Initiative only to learn that together they have a destiny. One of my long-time faves.

3. Responsible Adults by mydiera and [livejournal.com profile] sadbhyl. Giles/Ethan/Joyce. On the night Ethan would have pulled that Fyarl transformation spell on Giles, Joyce joins them. Things change from there.
Note: Sadbhyl wrote an essay: When You Girls Are Older You'll Understand (Rupert Giles/Joyce Summers/Ethan Rayne)

4. Bookends by [livejournal.com profile] il_mio_capitano. Buffy/Giles. Mmm, a story that brightens my day when a new chapter is posted.

5. In the Morning of the Magicians by [livejournal.com profile] indri. Ripper/Ethan back in the day. On of my favorite BtVS stories.

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.

the other recs are busy mocking me for blushing as I post these... )

5 recs where Xander is paired with someone other than Spike.
I know, why would anyone write a non-Spander fic, but the stories are actually good, and yes, three are by the same author. I really like them!

1) The Carpenter and the Wood by justhuman
Xander/Mr. Pointy. Funny as all get out!

It wasn't a nefarious booknapping plan. It was much more like a jellybelly-napping plan. Giles kept a stash in the middle drawer of his desk.

Oh, that naughty costume spell! Tsk. It’s the sort of thing that could lead to anything at all, so naturally our beloved fic writers made sure it did!

Bit Parts by [livejournal.com profile] spuffyduds , Fluffy Hard-R
Harmony/Jonathan. Jonathan chooses to go as a red shirt (Star Trek) for Halloween, but Ethan’s spell changes his luck. Featuring Ethan, Andrew, Tucker, Spike, and Buffy. One-shot.

But wait! There's more... )

There are lots of great Giles fics out there and I recommend the [livejournal.com profile] summer_of_giles community as a good place to look for them. The ones behind the cut are five particular favourites of mine.

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

In the same vein as my previous lists, I'm offering up the last member of Troika: Jonathan Levinson. He's sweet, he's funny, and he's an extra in basically every season of the show. Here's five looks at him for the classics weekend.

1. Escapism by Vixen

Rated approximately R this is just a look at how Jonathan was the best of them in his way. It's a lasting sort of story, I thought.

four more )

I hope you all enjoy these even though there's a lot of slash involved. I have no idea why that is since I was trying for an even balance. Maybe it says more about my links than fandom proclivities. *laughs*

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 )

Everyone likes a threesome!fic from time to time, but these are fics with very unusual pairings that made me re-consider my pairing preferences.
So, you want to read a really RANDOM bunch of threesomes )

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! )
