5 Fic Lists for 5 Great Rare Characters

[rebcake]

So who here doesn't like rec lists? That's what I thought. I try to keep track of good fic for characters that aren't part of the core group, both here and at fantas_magoria. Here are a few of my favorites, in order of appearance:

Oooh, what a great idea. Thanks so much for posting.

Oh, good! I figured it was either a good idea or else it was cheating. Could've gone either way. ;-)

I'd never read Lydia Chalmers' Thesis of William the Bloody, and it's absolutely fantastic. Just a really amazing piece of work, so thank you for steering me to it. And if you care to, take a look at The Valorous Vampire, by Gwyneth Rhys. It's written in a similar vein -- as a journal article by Lydia about Buffy's relationships with Angel and Spike, with an emphasis on Spike.

I was able to de-spam your comment, so the link should work! I do remember that one, and it was a hoot. Great addition, m'dear!

I'm so glad I could get the word out about the classic that is the Thesis. What a gem it is.

Lydia Chalmers' Thesis is so, so good! I'd never read it, so thank you for pointing me in its direction.

I wanted to include a link to another Lydia story, but for some reason, when I include the link, I get a message that my comment is spam. But the story is easy to find, so here goes: it's The Valorous Vampire, by Gwyneth Rhys, and it can be found at All About Spike. It's written as a journal article by Lydia about Buffy's relationships with Angel and Spike, and it's very enjoyable.

Wonderful idea. I've read all those Harmony fics, and love them.

I just can't get enough of the rare characters. Willy the Snitch? Bring it, I say! Oh, hey, you just did last week. Keep up the good word, darling!
