5 fics that stayed with me
In no particular order...
Title: Happy Xmas (War is over)
Author: Seraphcelene
Rating: Mature
Summary:"Against the tide we struggle with the skin we're in." Dawn, after.
Why I chose it: The characterization of Dawn is so much more than what was explored in cannon. Dawn has never been a character I particularly like, but this made me sympathize with her. It's also BAngel friendly.
Title: Full Disclosure
Author: Leni
Rating: Mature
Summary: Snippet for the alternate-Passion world, where Angelus decides that kidnapping a Slayer would have better results than killing a gypsy. This one is set roughly two years later, within AtS1.
Why I chose it: You cannot go wrong with the Passion'verse. This is one of my favorites because it's so elegantly simple. to 'do' Angelus properly you don't have to over-do him. The small intricacies will take your breath away if you let them.
Title: Triangle
Author: Chrislee

Rating:General
Summary:The stories are bad enough.
Why I chose it: This speaks to my new found love for Giles and the potential of his character. It's short and sweet, and leaves you wanting more.
