Poe: Far Away Lands
Fandom: BtVS, Narnia When Xander stumbles through a portal he finds himself in a strange land of talking animals and wondrous castles.

Well written and imaginative, this is enjoyable but also quite sad. It contains character deaths and massive spoilers for anyone who has not read the entire Narnia series. There is a sequel in ( Read more... )
