The Girl Who Falls Down Stairs by kaydeefalls - Work caution advised - A study of women in the Whedonverse and how they come into their various powers. An interesting take that shows a consistent storyline across the different properties of fear and reluctance, followed by a maturity and confidence after the transition.
Mercy Street by gwyneth. Insanity and atonement, Spike and Dana know both of these things and therein lies the connection.
The Moment I Wake Up by beer_good_foamy is a ficlet on Lorne's first moments across the portal. Oh Lorne. Also this drabble
for Buffy.
Many Happy Returns by erinthar has some great Buffy and Xander dialogue.
Never Normal by nwhepcat - Just captures a moment so well, and she always does good Xander.
