There's a search engine designed for discovering old-fashioned little websites, and I took it for a spin with some Buffy search terms. Here's some of what I found.

1. (maybe cross the country become a rock star) by Amy (Giles/Oz/Cordelia, PG-13) in Loaded, the Giles/Oz zone of the BtVS Writers' Guild.
This was amazing. The mood and atmosphere of this story has aged well, by which I mean it gave me something like pandemic lockdown vibes despite being pre-2007ish and not about any kind of lockdown. There is a bunch of clever lines and a quirky, semi-absurd concept at the core of the story, which somehow connects beautifully to Oz's unmoored state of mind.

I didn't think I'd get the chance to do another post, but that just shows what I know. Here are five more pieces of work from 2017 I really enjoyed.

summer_of_giles is one of my favourite communities, so here are five things that caught my eye this year. I should give a disclaimer that I’m way behind with the entries, so I’m sure there is a pile of other stuff I could have recced that I just haven’t got to as yet.

It’s always illuminating to see the Buffy ‘verse through external eyes, and in

punch_kicker15’s The English Patient: Seven Times Giles Visited the Hospital(and One Time He Didn’t) we see Giles across the seven seasons through the eyes of a resident physician at Sunnydale Hospital. This is good stuff.

( More Giles goodness this way... )

The Prompt: Write about changes in relationships (friend to enemy or vice versa), or introduce characters that have never met, or something else that fits the theme.

Party Demons by

kantayra - The world might be ending but at least Clem’s made a new friend. Hee!

Sleeping Arrangements by

gwynnega - given that they're drabbles, it can be hard to describe the story without ruining the surprise

Unconventional by

glassslipper - ditto

All in the Retelling by

xmirax - rescuing the world from Angelus as told by one who lived to tell the tale

Hubris by

knotted_rose - I don’t want to ruin the surprise. Angel story.

Willow is a fascinating and complex character to me, and I really enjoy fiction that reflects that. Here are five classic Willow fics. I'm going to be cautious and label them all not worksafe.

1) The Power and The Other Thing by

mosca.Willow/Tara, Willow/Glory (not really the focus of the story) Gorgeous Wishverse story, with Nerdy Willow, Super-witch Willow, and Scary Willow all wrapped up into one. I really enjoy the way the characters from Angel were worked in. The tone is a bit chilly and remote and matches the world-building wonderfully. This is one of the most hopeful Wishverse stories I've read, but the hope seems earned. This is one of those stories that I think should get a lot more recognition than it has.

5 Stories I Wasn't Able to Find
I asked and was told it was okay to post recs for stories I couldn't find the links to. Anyone know where any of these are?
Edited: I'm posting links to the stories as I learn what they are.

1) AtS, a short story I believe. A plague, created by humans I think, has been unleashed on the world. The Hyperion has become something of a safe house, keeping people physically safe from demons if not the plague virus. I think Lorn and some witches hightailed it out of there but were unable to take non-magical humans who wouldn't have survived in the other dimension. Cordelia and two others are sitting on the roof, looking at the sunset maybe. The other two go back in and, once they are out of sight, Cordelia starts showing signs of the plague (coughing?). Then she gets up, squares her shoulders, and goes back down to do the work of the day. Basically hiding the disease from everyone and getting on with the work.

Continuing where

velvetwhip started in her celebration of our favorite redhead, I want to recognize five stories this year who celebrated Willow with characters that bring a rarer flavor to the fandom. That means that the familiar pairings of Spike/Willow, Angel/Willow, Angelus/Willow, Oz/Willow, and Xander/Willow are not among them.

I am big fan of Willow and I thought I would share five fics featuring her which I enjoyed this year.

1)Sex 101 (Willow/Spike; NC-17) by

purplefeen: While it's still a work-in-progress, this is already a delightful tale. It features a deliciously scheming Anya, a bet involving Spike's duster, Willow looking for sex lessons, and Spike being...Spike. What more could you possibly want? This one's a treat!

Babyfics are a major guilty pleasure of mine. These, however, have no guilt whatsoever associated with them. Five pairings, five different flavors ranging from sweet domesticity to character study to tear-your-heart-out angst.

1. Willow (1/1) by

iwrotethat (PG-13/T) - Bits and pieces of Willow's life.
This is my favorite Willow fic. It's a lovingly crafted portrait, that doesn't make Willow too sappy nor too dark. The author has a wonderful understanding of the character. It's just an excellent study of Willow.
( Freeze frame. Willow kissage. )
