Feel It Still by double-dutchess. Just when you think that Buffyverse vids have tapped everything, here's one on Spike (along with Buffy, the most overvidded ( Read more... )

Happy Halloween folks. We’re now onto the recs for fandom creativity that has happened since last year’s buffyversetop5. I’ve noticed a lot of great vids this year, so here’s the first of two 2020 vid posts

Welcome to the Jungle by ethereal. This is a beautifully edited Ensemble vid with an emphasis on Buffy for obvious reasons!

( More video beauties this way... )

We're down to the final hours of our session, and here's one last recs list of 2019 works from me.

Thanksgiving with the Burkles, 2019 by shadowscast. This ficlet is not only a new work from her in the Buffyverse but it's a sequel! (And also perfect for this new month).

Villains by electric_heart. Fun icon of the Troika. Also I quite liked ( Read more... )

This is my last set of recs for this session of buffyversetop5. Thanks as always to the brilliant mods for hosting this every year, and thank you to everyone who has added wonderful recs, both old and new, to my ‘to read list'. Anyway, on with the motley...

Confidence by Deangerous - nice, believable moment between Cordy and Xander when he tells her about ( Read more... )

I love Oz, and when he’s written well, it makes me very happy. Here are five fics that do just that…

No Cold and Heat by idyll makes me tear up every time I read it because it is so damn beautiful - bleak, and sad with a chink of light in the clouds that makes my heart ache. Oz is rescued and now must find himself. There’s a hint of slash at the end, ( Read more... )

1) All This Has Happened Before by hazellazer. "It was LA, of course. He saw plenty of platinum blonde women in skimpy red dresses, he just didn't usually see them in his office." Super idea for a Dollhouse and BSG crossover.

2) Happy Holidays by sueworld. Photo manip of a holiday clad (and unclad) Buffy and Spike looking quite festive!

Camelia1986 - Halloween in Sunnydale: THE Buffy Halloween vid as far as I'm concerned, should be rewatched at least once yearly!

Nicole Anell - White Rabbit: Restless episodic vid, set to Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit. Mesmerizing.

Brad CPU & Milly - Polka Slayer: Buffy overview vid, with polka. ( Read more... )

Five fluffy or/and funny short stories from 2016, arranged from shortest to longest.

Arrival by yeahyeahno. Giles is facing the biggest horror of his life (no kidding, I can relate).

A Slayin' Song Tonight by beer_good_foamy. Five holiday decorations that can be used to slay vampires, and one vice versa. AKA the Scooby Holiday Meet-Up is about as peaceful as ( Read more... )

I'm a big fan of fics where a well-timed spell, a friend stepping in to help, or someone asking the right question at the right time can solve a problem from canon.

Here are five short classic fics in that category:

1. Apotheosis by Ephemeral Night (Willow/Tara, General Audiences). Willow stumbles upon the secret for carrying out the Thy Will Be ( Read more... )
