Recommendationsderen Gesichter sehen ihm aehnlich by BasingstokeThis is a dueSouth story which places Fraser and Kowalski in an X-Files context. It's simultaneously sad and hopeful, and it's quite pretty. recommended 28.3.01 | permalink Wesley Rogue Demon by The Mad Poetess and James WalkswithwindThese two make magic when they write stories together about any of the characters from Angel: The Series. I don't know why they don't grab me so when they write about Buffy characters, or write alone. But this story is a stunning example of their craft and their imagination. What if Wesley wasn't who he claimed to be? How would The Scooby Gang, L.A. Division, help him become whoever he is? recommended 26.3.01 | permalink A Garden of Wallflowers by LegionThis solemn little Jim/Blair really affected me because I understand exactly how Jim feels. recommended 26.3.01 | permalink And They Dance by James WalkswithwindThis pretty, touching little piece is a different sort of death story. And not just because it's Wesley/Angel, and Angel is already sort of dead. recommended 21.3.01 | permalink Domestic Piranhas 8.5: Lost in Translation by The Mad Poetess and James WalkswithwindThe series is Spike/Xander, but there's an Angel/Wesley/Gunn subplot. And any story which is tender and touching and sweet and where Spike serves as a relationship counselor deserves to be read. recommended 15.3.01 | permalink Signal to Noise by Betty PlotnickJim watches Blair be Blair-like and struggles to find words to let Blair know he doesn't have to try so hard. I'm not sure Betty convinces me that Sandburg's motivation is fear, but her picture of Jim's thought processes is lovely. recommended 14.3.01 | permalink Something Like by SheilaYet another Wesley/Gunn story wherein Gunn wants to mess up Wesley. But it's still good. recommended 12.3.01 | permalink Bough by SheilaUm. She re-wrote Untouched, the episode with Bethany the telekinetic runaway, from Bethany's POV. It's not slash, but it's extremely powerful recommended 12.3.01 | permalink Unbreakable Players by Punk ManeuverabilityIt's short, and it's funny, and Casey and Dan pull themselves out of a negative situation. Essence of Sports Night .recommended 10.3.01 | permalink Beyond the Barrier of Snow by JosanThis is a lovely Skinner/Krycek AU. One of the nice things about it is that Krycek is the one with wealth and position at the beginning of this story, and Skinner is the one in dire straits. It starts out with cruelty and bitterness, but it ends in warmth and love. recommended 6.3.01 | permalink Everybody Fell by The Brat QueenThis is an Angel story where Wesely is quite British and priggish, The Host is extremely advice columnist-like, and we get really good Dork!Angel. Yum, yum. Some of the dialogue can be a little hard to follow. Angel and Wesley are talking without understanding one another for an extended sequence, it was a little hard to keep track of what they meant to say and what they understood to be said, but it all came clear in the end. Enjoy. recommended 6.3.01 | permalink Coterminous by Jane St ClairThis Angel/Buffy crossover is a Wesley/Spike piece. I was really dubious when I read the pairing, because, for one thing, I don't believe Spike and Wesley have ever met canonically. But it was Jane St Clair, so I reserved my opinion and trusted, and it paid off in a wonderful little experience that was literally breathtaking. recommended 2.3.01 | permalink A Very Special "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" by Michelle HansenThis is not a slash story. It's more of a parody of an afterschool special, mixed with a slightly bitter revulsion for Buffy. recommended 2.3.01 | permalink |
what's this?I picked these fics because they're well-written as well as enjoyable. My recommendation style is esoteric. Sometimes, I'll tell you the premise. Sometimes, I'll tell you the feelings and sensations a story invoked. Sometimes, I'll just encourage you to click on the damn link already and read the bloody story. Most of these stories are slash, meaning stories about your favorite characters from stage and screen being queer (hence fairy tales). Many of these stories are explicit about sex or violence. If you don't want to read about men having sex with men and women having sex with women, you could try some more general fanfiction. meolder recs200220012000linksArchives
