My Recommendations!

These are just the fics I've read that have either made me laugh, or cry, or go "what the hell just happened?" I love them all, and I think everyone should read them right away. Go. Shoo! Note: The first list are all Buffy and Angel fics. The second is other genres. All fics are on the author's personal archive and will take you away from Apocalypse Nowish.

• Bubble Bath by Dol. Deeply, deeply disturbing (at least I thought so) but eerily sweet. Giles/Oz slash.
• The Way, Way Back by Liz Estrada. Oh. My. God. The most kick-ass ending ever. And the interesting pairing of Faith/Kate. Slash. (Forgotten Hearts Archive)
• Chocolatey Goodness by The Mad Poettess. The definitive Spike/Xander fic. Beautifully long, but unfortunately on hiatus (I am literally gagging for more). Slash.
• Domestic Pirhannas by The Mad Poettess. Complete and utter silliness. Spike/Xander, Angel/Wesley. Slash.
• Getting Bent Series. Oooh, Xander gets all cavey and runs into Spike. AU Beer Bad. Beer...Questionable, Wilder Than You Think, and Taking the Initiative. Spike/Xander SLASH.
• Tripod by Dol. Funny, mildly slashy. Good wholesome (sort of. Ok, not that wholesome) fun with the Buffy boys.
• This Year's Thrill by Faithtastic. Ever read something that made *you* need a cigarette and a cold shower. Yeah, this is one of those. Faith/Joyce. Slash. Gah.

(Other Genres)

• Welcome to the Real World by IamtheLizardQueen. Draco/Harry slash. Great novel-like fic. Some parts are so funny you almost wet yourself, while others just make you go "awww." Really excellent.
