rivendellroseOkay... fic-link-spam, intended mostly for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maymargaret, but perhaps of interest to others as well!
This Innocent - Giles attempts to deal with the events of S3 "Helpless," and gets a little... 'help' on the subject from Angel.
When I Was Your Age - Short little bit; Giles and Jenny have a bit of fun with Willow and Buffy.
Cold Day in a Cruel World - Short-ish; Giles and Jenny after finding Jenny's uncle. Can't remember which episode that was exactly... "Passions?" Anyway, relatively simple little thing, but nice.
Illogical - Set before "Lie to Me, which I don't think I've seen. Hmm... Anyway, just a little conversation between Giles and Jenny. Cute, light, and fluffy, with good characterization for both of them.
The Way the World Ends - Just when I thnk I'm over the trauma of That Scene in "Passions"... this fic comes along, and I'm wibbling all over again. Well-written, and gets bonus points for use of one of my favorite poems.
A Pleasant Impression - Again with the "somewhat before "Lie to Me" time-setting... clearly, I missed something interesting there. This is a really cute little thing, and cuteness always wins points, for me. A little weird, but amusing.
Bad Karma - Jenny's thoughts, end of "Passions." Enough said. Angst and introspection, but not badly done, and a nice companion/answer to "The Way the World Ends."
Reprimand - Snyder-POV in part, and very amusingly so! This one gives me the giggles... and delights in other ways, as well.
Impassioned - Rewrite of "Passions," with a significant shift. Once it gets through the episode content and up to the point of divergence, this is a really interesting look at what 'might have been.' And with the exception of a notable OFC that I could've done without, and some rather disruptive formatting issues in the latter half, I liked it. Warning: multi-chapter, rather long.
Et In Arcadia Ego - Day of the Dead fic! I really really like this one. Another multi-chapter.
Oops - Highlander/Buffy crossover, very short and humorous. There are Watchers... and then there are Watchers.
Double Date - Giles and Jenny run into Spike and Drusilla while out on a date. Lovely capture of Drusilla's dialogue, here - had me trying to say the lines with her accent. *g*
Fire - Another "Passions"-oriented fic. That's all I'm saying about this one, aside from that it's worthwhile.
And, because this post isn't quite random enough, I have to say that I watched "Legacies" from S1 B5 tonight, while knitting. Despite the horrible acting of the girl who plays the young telepath (and, honestly, could anyone believe that girl was only 13?), I love that episode. It's more fun now that I know Neroon better, granted, but it's got lovely Talia/Susan tension, Na'Toth being adorably brusque ("good idea about the teeth"), and Delenn being downright scary in her bloody-minded focus and, in the end, the terrifying way she wields her power once the humans are gone and she drops the "humble, pious ambassador" act. I remember that this was the first episode where I really started to wonder about her, as a character. Even after causing a nearly-genocidal war over Dukhat's death and then bringing it to a stop, she's willing to risk the whole peace just to make a point about Branmer.
Is it bad that the vicious, cold-bloodedly calculating way she does things really makes me love her? That woman is scary. But also so damned wonderful. >
