I'm going to do this for two fandoms as I'm trying to avoid work and think it would be fun. :D

Please copy the questions to your own lj, and post your answers there. The goal is to NOT repeat what your friends have already said:
1) What current WIP are you breathlessly awaiting updates on?
2) What recently completed fic did you find amazing?
3) What story would you deem a "classic" that every newbie should read?
4) What story do you know of is a "sleeper" - amazing story but frequently overlooked by people?
Buffy/Angel
1. This is a tie between:
World Made New by femailofthespecies
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Willow/Spike and Spike/Angel
Summary: The First was defeated. Faith wore the amulet. Sunnydale was ruined, but did not cave in (Faith, not being as powerful as Spike, did not take it all out - my theory). Angel did bring the amulet as before, but he did not take over W&H. Angel is Spike's sire. The rest will be in the story.
I love this fic to pieces and would love to see an update sometime soon. I'm so obsessed with it I check to see if it's been updated every other day.
Burn For Me by Em North
Rating: Adult
Pairing: Willow/Spike
Summary: Willow finds a ritual to stop Glory but there's only one vamp for the job. (913 words)
What's not to love? This fic has it all. I'm dying for an update as I can't wait to see what happens next!
2. It's not recently completed, but I did just find this fic not too long ago and really love every single word.
Hell Here Series by Ruby
Rating: Adult
Pairing: Willow/Spike
Summary: After Buffy's death, all Hell breaks loose in Sunnydale. The survivors try to build it up again.
3. This is an easy one. The famous General story!
Abracadabra Series by Saber Shadowkitten
First story in the series is: Friendship Building
Rating: There's both a PG-13 version or NC-17 version
Pairing: Willow/Angel
Summary: Willow is on a mission. Is Angel ready for her?
4. I don't know if it's necessarily overlooked but I don't really see it rec'ed and it really should be.
Coffee and Thoughts Series by Lucinda
Rating: PG
Pairing: Willow/Angel Friendship
Summary: Willow and Angel enjoy their friendship.
I also recommend the sequel, though it's not complete.
Dark Coffee
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Angelus/Willow
Summary: Angelus is curious about his souled counterparts friendship with Willow.
Harry Potter
1. Very easy pick. I'm truly dying for an update of:
Finding Himself by Minisinoo
Rating: Adult
Pairing: Cedric/Hermione
Summary: The boy who almost died' has to figure out what it means that he didn't. Harry's tulmultous fifth year at Hogwarts is Cedric's seventh and final. Bound together by a shared trauma survived, both boys fall under Ministry fire and suspicion, and both undergo a 'deconstruction' of sorts in the face of that crisis. Who is Cedric Diggory? He must find himself amid rumors of war, the awkwardness of falling in love, and a crippling personal tragedy.
I would also love an update form:
Pet Project by Caeria
Rating: R
Pairing: Severus/Hermione
Summary: Hermione overhears something she shouldn't and decides that the house-elves aren't the only ones who need protection.
2. Again it wasn't recently completed, but a recent find.
Public Display of Affection by Erythros
Rating: Teen
Pairing: Draco/Hermione
Summary: They weren’t much for PDA - that is, Public Display of Affection. After all, he was Draco Malfoy and she was Hermione Granger.
3. There are so many for different pairing, but I have to say that this is truly a classic:
The Fires of Beltane by Sorceress
Rating: Adult
Pairing: Draco/Hermione
Summary: On one magical night of the year, can a certain professor affect the lives of two students, possibly changing the horrible destiny of one of them?
4. I don't see this one rec'ed a lot so I would have to pick:
Malfoy Movement in A Minor by Elia Sheldon
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Draco/Hermione
Summary: Hermione and Draco's growing attraction for each other reaches a turning point at Malfoy Manor during a charity ball they were forced to plan together.
I may do this for the Gilmore Girls, Once and Again and Firefly fandoms when I have more free time. I encourage you all to do it, then I can get more recs!
