Yay for this year's buffyversetop5. It's always a joy to rec favourite fandom things and enjoy discovering things I hadn't come across through other people's recs. Kicking off this year's Classic Recs sections with a few awesome vids.

Princess of the Streets by double_dutchess This is Spike/Dru and has Perfect editing to a perfect song from The Stranglers that could have been ( Read more... )

I didn't think I'd get the chance to do another post, but that just shows what I know. Here are five more pieces of work from 2017 I really enjoyed.

I really admire people who can put visuals together, either art or videos. I can play with words to my heart’s content, but pictures are way beyond me. Here are five vids that have got under my skin over the years.

If you’re looking for a reminder that Buffy wasn’t just about quips and kicky boots, then
Bad Mood Rising by Robin’s Revenge is just ( Read more... )

Five (or really 6) Spangel(ish) vids, some serious, some funny.

Sisabet - The Bucket: This one just gives me all kinds of warm Spangel feelings. Not overtly slashy, but the subtext is oh so clear.

Five favorite shippy shorts from the past year, and one vid as a bonus.

very good bad thing by spangel. Cordelia's POV on Buffy. So accurate that it hurts.

Waylaid by beer_good_foamy (or AO3 link). Faith/Tara in the Wishverse, and it's surely the lightest and most hopeful Wishverse story I've ever read.

Yes, more vids!

Night Time, My Time by Faith SummersProduction (Spuffy).
The kind of Spuffy vid I like best: not your standard romantic fare, but dark, sensual, atmospheric and intense.

( Rest of the vids are under the cut. )

I forgot to bookmark things I wanted to rec this time around, which was stupid of me. So I'm just going from memory here and have probably forgotten loads of great things. But anyway, here are five random fandom things I enjoyed in 2015.

First some fic.

Ipseity by spuffy_luvr. Buffy/Spike, Teen and up. A wonderful long, plotty fic, featuring an amnesiac ( Read more... )

Bobby, Roger and Eileen by double-dutchess (Angel/Buffy/Spike). The most adorable resolution for those pesky Bangel vs Spuffy wars, that never cease in Buffyverse fandom. No one have to cry tonight, right?

( More under the cut )

Hope on Fire by shinyjenni (Buffy). Amazing Buffy-centric slayers vid. If only Buffy could show it to the Potentials instead of all those season 7 speeches.
