I don't usually read WIPs, but I am making an exception for these ones, because they're just so good or because I know they're going to be good. I may be cheating a bit here, as several of the WIPs in this list were not started in 2020, but since they all got updated this year I think it still counts. To compensate, two of them are REALLY recent.

We had some excellent long fics in 2012, because our fandom is full of talented people. Many of those fics have been mentioned on other lists. Here are some for which I am (patiently) awaiting updates.

Safeverse by shapinglight (Spike/Giles with plot) NC17
A Season 7 Giles juggles a chipped/souled/triggered Spike, a secretive and hostile Council, and the ( Read more... )

Yup, you read that right. I'm recommending unfinished fics *cue screams of horror*. I know! Craziness! Bear with me for a moment, and I'll tell you why you should try these stories.

( All under the cut because I really adore these stories and I tend to babble about them. )

Here are the top Five WIPs that I want to see completed:

Soul to Seduce by eurydice72

World Made New by cafedemonde

The Road to Rio by cafedemonde

Masters and Minions by Madea

Beautiful Dawn by Jenny

I couldn't find all the ones I wanted to find, even using the Wayback Machine. These links all appear to work, though.

Five golden oldies, no particular connection between them, except maybe get it while you can (except for the last one, which is probably safe at the moment).

Secrets and Lies by Lynn. NC17, Spike/Buffy, set during BtVS season 2 ( Read more... )

In general, I tend to be a fan of late season or post-series Buffy/Spike fanfiction, but sometimes there's nothing more fun than reading a story in which those two crazy kids get together a little sooner than in canon.

The Perfume of Kismet, by Gwyneth Rhys - After the events of "Becoming", Buffy runs into a familiar face in Los Angeles.

Eternal WIPs are frustrating, but at the same time there's still a lot of pleasure to be found in all of these stories. None of these fics is ever likely to be completed, but all of them are still well worth reading.
