The best stories from the Bangel ficathon as selected by a Spuffy shipper, let's go!

Unrequited by aboutafox (2097w, T)
Setting: pre-series (Buffy is not present)
What I liked: in this character study, we get to see Angel from his own POV and from Whistler's, not from Buffy's, and I thought that gave him some lovely depth and maybe made him more consistent with AtS!Angel - the interesting, vulnerable kind of Angel. Also, there was at least one joke that I really loved, and a neat OC.

Time for your 2018 recs! And don't forget there are more recs being shared on Dreamwidth that you can browse. Here are some to kick us off:

Sunrise by iseetheyelloweyed. A Saint Sebastian oriented Buffy and Angel fan art – a pretty fascinating take and the colors seem perfect. Read more... )

On the Buffyverse crossover archive tthfanfic.org, there's a collection "Jokes and Limericks, open to all", posted  by lucidity in 2008 as a multichapter work to which any site user can contribute. There were a couple of new additions this year (10 years in! Woot!), which I think is how I noticed it, but the poems I want to rec are all older.


Limerick number 1
by lucidity
Not Worksafe
Comment: a limerick about William meeting Drusilla and being turned. The raunchy, irreverent tone is so on point for the format. :)

Bobby, Roger and Eileen by [livejournal.com profile] double_dutchess (Angel/Buffy/Spike). The most adorable resolution for those pesky Bangel vs Spuffy wars, that never cease in Buffyverse fandom. No one have to cry tonight, right?

I'd be the world's biggest liar if I claimed I could actually whittle down [livejournal.com profile] foxstarreh's stories last year to "five best" because
there are too many and all of them excellent; this is just a small sampling


"Those Things" - (Buffy/Angel/Spike; Dawn, post-NFA) This is the fic that turned me into a B/A/S shipper. Just lovely.


"On the Edge" - (Buffy, early-mid S6, canon compliant) "Buffy's afraid of drowning. She figures she should be afraid of heights now, too." Character study for a prompt by [livejournal.com profile] leni_ba.

"White Wedding" - (Willow/Tara, AU) One of the most chilling character studies of Willow I've ever read; controlling things (and people) has become all too easy.

"Ash" (Buffy, Angel, Spike; Buffy/Spike, post-Chosen) Spike left her nothing to hold onto after the Hellmouth; Angel offers a way to help. The numbness of grief before the damn of emotion breaks.

"Save the World" (Gen, Tara, Kennedy, AU episodic of Chosen) Exactly what I always imagined Tara's role would have been in Chosen, had she lived.  AWESOME. (Why aren't there more AU S7 fics with Tara in them? Get on it, fandom, pretty please.)

Bonus - yes, I'm cheating; but "Survivor's Reunion" (Gen, Buffy, Xander, Spike, Harmony, ensemble; post-Chosen) was one of my favorite comedic fics of the year. The gang meets up for their tenth year class reunion; Harmony is organizing the event. There will be monsters - and awkward conversations with ex-boyfriends.

Some writers just kept on bringing the good stuff in 2012, and [livejournal.com profile] brutti_ma_buoni is one of the chief among them. Whether long or short, her work is always varied and wonderful. Here are five of my favourites of her short fics. The first one, I only read for the first time a minute ago.

Ca Ira. Pre-series, set in the heady (or should that be headless?) days of the French Revolution, and featuring an OC Slayer and her lover, both with a way with words. PG-13. Written for [livejournal.com profile] femslash_minis.

35 chapters so far. R. Middle of BtVS season 8. A sprawling epic about Buffy's adventures as she leads her slayer army against a mysterious nemesis. (Hopefully recent Twilightgate won't impede Angearia's plans). Gen; the main pairing is Buffy/Spike.

A second rather disorganised post, but these stories all need reccing to the comm, and in fact some possibly have been recced before and I missed it.

I took my time with Angel when I entered the Buffyverse. I didn't really want much to do with him. There was too much about him, for me, not to like. Layers of unlikeableness. Eventually, though, I came to realize that each layer was something of a scar. I mean, the guy has been around forever. He's bound to have amassed a few. And each scar had the potential to tell a story. These writings opened me to Angel, and I'm so grateful they did.

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.

Breath and Memory by [livejournal.com profile] chrisleeoctaves
NC-17. One-shot. A touching glimpse at Buffy/Spike/Angel threesome in the future. Razor-sharp character study and exquisitely hot pr0n in the same package.

Five crossovers with other TV shows and, as a bonus, one crossover with a book-cum-opera-cum-several movies.

Captain Spike by [livejournal.com profile] elisi
PG-13. One-shot. Angel\Torchwood crossover. Angel, Spike and Illyria meet Jack and his team. Post-’To the Last Man’(Torchwood)/post-NFA (AtS). Two universes with two different approaches to supernatural collide in this outrageuously funny fic full of memorable lines and meta references.

I always love fics that manage to take what actually happened on-screen and give it a more-or-less subtle twist that completely changes everything. So here's five canon rewrites I really enjoyed in 2007.

Braids by [livejournal.com profile] ubiquirk is one of many great fics to come out of the [livejournal.com profile] dawn_all_along ficathon, this one taking on "Passion." Guh. (Gen, PG13)

There is a joke about an old comedian who admits on his beathbed that dying is hard - "and the only thing harder than dying is making people laugh". He was right. Humor is one of the difficult genres ever. Long live humor!

Haven't been around for more than a couple of months, so I'm not aware of enough fics to make a speciffic list. These are five that are spread all over the place, but all excellent in their own way.

1. "Some girls wander by mistake" by [livejournal.com profile] madame_meretrix
I don't know what to say here. Great journey where you discover what's going on as you go along. Excellent writing and spot on dialogue. Spike and Angel, mentionings of other characters.
PG-13

Some more excellent reads inside. Promise. )
