fic requests

[rm]

Okay, so, since I don't have time to write these things myself and have now finished the TV portion of the Buffyverse, I put out a plea for links to the following:

- Anything, ANYTHING, at all that does anything with Illyria's implied genderqueer status, especially if it involves Illyria being in a relationship with Wesley or Gunn.

- Angel/Wesley/Cordelia, S1 of Angel, when everything was all cute and domestic.

- Anything at all about Andrew's life in Rome/life as a Watcher.

- I have a fic in my head about Lorne having a thing for Wesley that will probably never get written. I don't know why it's in my head, but so it is. Has anyone else done this without being cracky about it?

- Fred/Willow

- Illyria/OC

- Wesley/Willow around the time Willow went down to LA to help out.

- I think I've found most of the good Giles/Ethan, but I'll always read that.

- Look, I actually like Kennedy. Willow/Kennedy post-series.

- Angel sort of annoys me, but if there's any Angel/Wesley fic that's not all about making them a heteronormative romance novel, I'm probably interested.

- Any fic about Wesley during the whole Lilah and Justine-in-the-closet period that's actually tethered to the realities of human flesh, emotion, and narrative (which is to say, no darkity dark dark fic for no other reason than everyone -- characters and author -- are bored).

- Giles/pretty much any of the Scoobies, as long as it skips the whole playing up the age difference thing. I'm interested in relationships that work in spite of that, not because of it.


(Also, is it just me or did Buffyverse fanfiction mostly happen before fandom got really, really porny?)

You can look for them by pairing if that helps.

Well, as I have an essay I could write (and may actually have written, I'll have to hunt about) provisionally titled "How Buffy Fanfic Ended the Torture That Was My Decade of Sexual Dysfunction", I'm gonna go with, no, the fanfic did not mostly happen before fandom got porny. I have read a bookshelf worth of really, really porny Buffy fic.

I wrote a thing that was sort of about Andrew as a Watcher
http://archiveofourown.org/works/51326

and I wrote a bunch of Giles and Ethan
http://archiveofourown.org/series/1996
http://archiveofourown.org/series/1984

I started trying to turn my delicious Ethan list into AO3 bookmarks but the AO3 doesn't seem to sort the bookmarks so I stopped.

There are so many broken links now. It's so very depressing.


In 2005 I went looking for all the Ethan fic I could find and link to
the archives have vanished
there's pages and pages of geocities links
but possibly some in there with links that still work

Can't really help you with any of those without digging right now. The only fics I ever read featuring Illyria were a bit squirky and featured her with tentacles.

And to the last question, definitely not. I think you're reading the wrong pairings. ;) I know in particular that the Spike/Xander pairing (and not just that pairing) has some of the best and hottest porn I've ever read. I don't often go back and reread fics, but I do in this fandom.

before fandom got really, really porny

Buh? What did you mean by this, rm? Before fanfic fandom as a whole got super porny? Because if that's the q, then...there is no time before fanfic fandom was super porny. K/S, y'know?

Buffy was in my early writing days. Some of mine is good. Some of it is so dreadful I am ashamed to mention I wrote it.

Help yourself. The Brimstone, Narnia, X-Men and Star Wars fic is infinitely better.

Oh man, I'd love to see what you'd do with Lorne/Wesley.

[stakebait.livejournal.com]

My friend thebratqueen has written quite a bit of Angel/Wesley. http://www.wtftbq.com/fanfic/angel/

Of my own stuff, you might like the Giles/Oz Mapping the Body, http://stakebait.livejournal.com/161098.html

And Wes/Lilah Unsettled http://stakebait.livejournal.com/96173.html

I think you might like part 2 of my Wes/Spike Clean Hands, but for that you have to put up with part 1 of Clean Hands, or the twist will make no sense.
