I had trouble coming up with a theme, since this is literally "two fics I read this year and really loved" + "some other stuff I love." XD Anyway, I hope folks enjoy! I've certainly gotten a lot of enjoyment out of buffyversetop5 over the years. <3

[livejournal.com profile] rebcake asked for pre-series fic focused on Darla or Dru, and I'm happy to oblige (though I doubt I can offer anything new to her). All stories rated PG to PG-13 (yes, I'm shocked, too!)

Traveller by [livejournal.com profile] selenak. Darla might not know the rules yet, but she had always known how to make men break them. Darla and the Master, in the beginning.

I forgot to bookmark things I wanted to rec this time around, which was stupid of me. So I'm just going from memory here and have probably forgotten loads of great things. But anyway, here are five random fandom things I enjoyed in 2015.

First some fic.

Ipseity by [livejournal.com profile] spuffy_luvr. Buffy/Spike, Teen and up. A wonderful long, plotty fic, featuring an amnesiac post-Chosen Buffy and her friends', and Dawn's, attempts to help and restore her. Lots of angst ensues.

Buffyverse vampires are interesting in any era, don't you think? They've been all over the world, and had loads of adventures. Below are just a few of the things written about them in 2012:

The Third Defenestration of Prague (Spike/Dru) by Kairos [livejournal.com profile] perpetual PG13 — One shot
Spike and Dru are in the fight of their (un)lives.

More Tales of the Vampyres... )
snickfic: Buffy looking over her shoulder (Darla)

1. Devouring Time, by [livejournal.com profile] quinara
pre-series; one-shot.
Darla goes on safari! I love the portrayal of Darla here, that she will dare the hazardous African sun for the sheer experience of the thing. The writing is gorgeous, the whole thing is suffused with sunshine, the setting is beautifully evoked (and we all know how I am about setting). This fic reminds me anew just how much I love Darla.

If You Can Reach Me by SpuffyProductions (Buffy/Angel, Buffy/Spike) - And, boy, I'm not even a Spuffy fan. It's just that great...

Gift by Bisclaveret (gen, ensemble) - Because... is there a more perfect song for the buffyverse? I don't think so.

Howl by Shoopdancer (Angel/Darla) - Ah, Florence and the Machine! Another perfect, powerful song choice.

The Fiddle and the Drum by Gwendolyn's flight (gen, Wesley-centric) - Ah, Wesley... So moving and perfect...

Fragments by E^y (gen, Wesley and Illyria centric) - A perfect gem. 00:22 always stoles my breath away.

Loyalty (Darla/Immortal, Darla/Angel)
Ever wonder what Darla was doing while Angel was busy getting himself captured by Holtz?

I'm Not Supposed to Be Like This (Darla & Spike) Her first inkling comes when she can’t zip her leather pants. At first she thinks she’s just got blood bloat; that pizza-delivery boy definitely tasted high-fat.

Traveller (Darla & The Master)
The Master never told her why he sired her, and she did not ask.

Quiet As She Bleeds (Darla/Angel, Darla/Drusilla, Darla/Lindsey)
Quietly she bleeds into the palm of his hand, moonlight shattering into a thousand dark shards.

And Yet (Darla)
Darla introspection when she comes to Angel in Quickening.

Bonus rec:
The Greatest of These
Darla engages in a routine piece of hunting.

Tanya is a friend of mine so it feels a bit embarrassing to collect only her works in a separate post. But her manips are so amazing it took me a long time to select only five of them. Check her LJ for other stuff. Seriously. She rarely posts anything besides her art.

Here are five fics that, when I read them, made me say to myself, "That is just amazing!" I hope you enjoy them.

I think this story has been recced already, but never mind. It can't be recced too often IMO.

Of All the Wonders I Have Yet Lived, Angel/Darla R by [livejournal.com profile] girlpire. A heartbreaking look at what might have happened if a human Darla hadn't died after all when Connor was born.

1. Inara and Mal by [livejournal.com profile] myrasis - All - #20 – I like the way the cropping makes it seem as if she's looking at him secretly so no one else will notice.

I'm going to post a bunch of top 5 shareable layouts lists, 'cos I love graphics and I made 120 layouts myself (mostly BtVS/AtS). So, I know how much work a layout maker puts into those pretties and I decided to list the ones who paid a homage to the fandom this year.

There are a lot of layouts featuring actors/actresses from the fandom, but I will list just the "character-oriented" ones. It makes my listing job easier ;-).

Well, enough with the talking, let's go with my first list :)))).

Once again, I couldn't narrow it down to just five. I'm a selfish greedy girl. I want them all! So for the writers on this list, it's the same situation as my previous list. This post is not to criticize or beg for updates. It’s just a way for me to say to the writers: Take your time. We’re still here. And when you’re ready to write it again, we’re eagerly awaiting with support and adoration. We love your story.

I won't forget you, baby )
