I don't do fic recs that often for two reasons. One, I'm really fussy. I read a lot of stuff but love very little of it. Two, I assume a lot of people on my FL are also friended to each other, so no real need.
Here are three stories that you might have not seen. You'd be missing out in a big way if you don't go and read them, so do yourself a favor.
The Five Games You Play In Heaven by
wisdomeagle Based on the Five Things That Never Happened Challenge, here are five vignettes of possible afterlives. By turns funny, poignant, sexy and unexpected, every character voice is wonderful.
Limb by
kita0610 If you haven't heard of Kita, you should crawl out from under that rock once in a while. The best Angel writer there is (and that includes ME), she lives in the guy's head I think. However, this particular story is not a fandom story. No, this incredible short piece is about love and strength. Some of you might not read Kita since she's primarily a slash writer. This piece is PG-13 at most. Do yourself a favor and read a piece that will stay with you for days.
The Best Souvenir by tkp
I don't think it's any surprise that B/A is my favorite pairing. However, there's very little fic that does them justice. TKP is a new writer that writes both Buffy and Angel exceptionally well, in a story that's imaginative and exciting. It's an AU that starts from the premise what if Whistler never showed up? The story takes place a year after Chosen when Buffy has to go to NYC in order to hunt down and destroy a particular vampire by the name of Angelus. Read, fb and friend her! That's an order.
