Or, Five of the Weirdest Stories I've Had the Pleasure of Reading This Year, and That's Saying Something, Because I Tend to Read as Many Weird Stories as I Can. Each of them has other things going for it, too -- they're not just surreal. Sorted from shortest to longest.

Ship: Fuffy
Rating: M
Words: 6,276
Comment: A Fuffy story based on a dream the author had. It's a coffee-shop AU, but HOW. :)) As a side note, I appreciate how many of the original canon Slayers appear here.

The Monsters of 54th Street by staringiscaring - "Because I'm the god-damned Slayer, that's why" (PG, gen, Nikki Wood-centric)
My Heart Was Never Pure by smellslikecorruption - Hard things/soft things. (K+, gen, Wesly-centric)
Life, Continuing by bruttimabuoni - An AU from mid-Not Fade Away, in which Wesley goes onwards, somehow. (Teen And Up Audiences, Wesley/Illyria)
Seasons Keep On Marching by bruttimabuoni - Just before Chosen, someone offers Giles a choice. He tries to choose wisely. But taking anything from Wolfram & Hart has consequences, no matter how wisely you choose. More people than just Giles will share those consequences, for good or ill. (Teen And Up Audiences, Giles/Lilah)
Memory has left me with that name alone by tigriswolf - Not everyone is born with a name on their hand – only the lucky ones. (PG, Spike/Xander)

1. Alternative Lifestyle, by A.C. Chapin.
Buffy/Giles.
"Her Watcher captured, the Slayer finds herself in a strange place where her parents are still alive, Drusilla's soul was never restored, and Rupert Giles doesn't even wear leather." A cracky yet grim yet sexy-like-whoa AU that sits just this side of canon. I only wish there were more of it.

Yay, rare pairs. The watchwords here seem to be "sweet and functional," which is generally my favorite kind of ship, even/especially when functionality doesn't seem too likely for the pairing involved.

1. The Five Worst Things About Dating Andrew Wells (part 1 and part 2), by [livejournal.com profile] deird1
post-series - Dawn/Andrew
Technically a WIP, I suppose, these are the first two parts of Dawn's cautious quest to win for herself one Andrew Wells, and they're pretty much adorable. I just don't ship Andrew generally, but Deird totally sells me on this scenario.
