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... )

1) A Quiet Conversation by Rainne. "Two old enemies sit and have coffee." Not often one runs across a story featuring Buffy and Ethan in conversation and it's hard to beat this story's ending!

2) Halloween Portrait Collection by thedothatgirl. Drawings of less frequently depicted characters: Adam, the Master, the Troika, Giles as a Fyarl, Glory ( 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... )

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.

1. Giving In, by ColdCoffeeEyes25 - Post-"Wrecked" with sweeter-than-canon Spuffy and a plot involving the Trio, Amy, and the ( Read more... )

To restate: I read plenty of light-hearted fare, but that’s not all I love in a fanfic. Some stories involve real-life issues, the struggle to make a relationship work, facing your own shortcomings, or just plain bad timing. Here are a few stand-outs from 2009.

The Fall of the Year by st_salieri
Ten years after Chosen, bad plumbing and the day-to-day ( Read more... )

Some Enchanted Evening by speakr2customrsPG, During "All the Way", the Trio decided to repeat Ethan Rayne's trick with enchanted costumes. The result was quite unexpected... A brilliant and funny re-imagination of BtVS mythology; a smart culturological essay on the BtVS influences and roots; seemingly fluffy "what if" that reflects on notion of a hero and ( Read more... )

Warren Mears is a very underused character in fanfiction, I think. He had a lot of potential and he was such a dark character without completely losing that human edge.

Here's my list of Top 5 Warren Mears Fictions

1. Fucking in the Dark by Moonloon

Rated NC-17 this strange little vignette showcases just how dark Warren/Andrew could be behind ( Read more... )

(1) The Boy and the Girl - by miss_jaffacake - All - An interesting comment about all that was to come.
