Some Buffyverse Time-Travel Fic Recs

[rebcake]

I'm working on a time-travel fic, so naturally my mind has turned to thoughts of Rome Spring other time-travel fics. Because what better way to procrastinate? It’s a trope that Buffyverse fic writers have thoroughly explored to good effect. That makes it tough to choose! I'll probably have a whole other list or two, perhaps one just for Our Heroes

OMG thanks for this! Time travel is my fave trope and there's a couple spuffy ones on here I haven't read before :) Know what I'm spending my afternoon tomorrow doing.

Hee. I am an enabler.

Did you know about this? I'm trying to boost the signal, but it's way past my bedtime.

Wonderful recs - some by much-missed authors. Thanks for sharing.

I just saw your post and went to check. Weird. On the one hand, they are saying they are providing free access, albeit without asking, but on the other, they could be scamming credit card info…. Urgh. I sort of don't want to touch anything over there.

It's icky in the extreme. It is possible to read a lot of it online, free - including quite a lot of published material. Nasty.

I have made sure at least two lawyers who are affected know all about it.

Popcorn?

Sounds very icky - I haven't gone an looked any further than to make sure my name didn't come up. If they're stealing fics in order to sell them, or even just run a credit card scam, surely they will be shut down/arrested/set on fire soon?

May I suggest "To Save a Lady" by slaymesoftly? One of my favorite Spuffy Time-Travel fics. Absolutely brilliant.

[rebcake]

Oh yeah! I always end up re-reading slayme's "I Know You", so I'd forgotten about this one. It is wonderful. Although I am v. v. sad when the sweet OCs end up dead. *wipes tear*

I think I have a fascination with S2 or something - 6 of the stories on this list concern that season on one end or the other. Wonder why? ;-)

LOL - @ Rebcake - cause that's when his sexiness first showed up?

[slaymesoftly]

Thank you, thank you. One of my favs too.

Oh, now I want to read that Buffy/Giles fic. What did you do to me?! =)

[rebcake]

It's an excellent story! Rip-roaring Ripper is so much more Buffy's type - and age and status appropriate - than Giles could ever be that it never pings the incestuous/daddy issues problem that makes Buffy/Giles so uncomfortable for me. 20-odd year old Ripper is really very Spike-like, without the vampire overlay. Maybe even tougher, actually. Mmmmrow!

Thanks much for the rec!

[rebcake]

You're very welcome! I am now pining for Venice, you know...

[gillo]

I always pine for Venice.
