1- Unexpected by [personal profile] bethynyc: Xander/Wesley. Wesley's been undercover for three years. Then Xander shows up on his doorstep. So much love and hearts for this fic, you guys should really read it. Xander/Wesley has a specially place in my heart, especially when done right.

I think (and someday this may actually turn into an essay) that some of the most interesting fanfic can be metafiction, self-reflexively commenting on it's own genre while at the same time telling compelling, fun, beautiful stories.  Not heavy handed, not weird, just lovely. So, here are 5 fics that illustrated some aspect of metafiction for me this year....

1. Minutes of the Watchers' Council, Cleveland Branch (Selected Highlights) (Gunn/Xander, FRT)
by [livejournal.com profile] mireille719
Summary: Report from holiday committee: There will be absolutely no mistletoe included in the holiday decorations. Anyone found hanging mistletoe in an attempt to embarrass the Watchers will be summarily executed reprimanded.
How does it fit? Mir plays with style here, turning meeting minutes into something kind of adorable, definitely hugely funny, and establishes narrative without traditional narrative techniques.

this way for the rest. )

1 . Two Fusilliers by [livejournal.com profile] tabaqui - NC-17 – One of the great things about the S/A relationship is that sense of long association that gives things between them a certain inevitability. I think that’s played with a lot here, as well as their fundamental differences.
