Amnesia
by Juliet
Character Study; Futurefic
The story of a woman called Marcie A. Smith who leads a very normal life… and who was once a girl called Buffy Summers. Clever and subtle (love Buffy's choice of name - very apt for a would-be invisible girl)
Carvings on Stone
by SeraC
Character Study
Beautiful, stream-of-consciousness look at Buffy's life, starting from Welcome to the Hellmouth and ending somewhere we haven't been yet. I love the style of this story, and by the end I was blinking back tears.
My favourite paragraph, although I could quote most of it: She remembers Willow in sweet white tights, water glistening on her chin and Mr. Giles in the library. There is a kiss from a prince that doesn't work as it should and he is a demon in disguise but it's already too late. Too late. Too late.
Cross to Bear
by s.a.
Character Study
Buffy thinks about the crosses she owns, and how she came by them. Short and very nicely written.
Endless Encounters
by HonorH
Character Study; Crossover
Seven vignettes wherein Buffy has encounters with the Endless siblings (Desire,
Despair, Dream, and the rest) from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. It's not really
necessary to have read the comics.
In the Ground
by Rabbit
Horror; Forever
A creepy little piece that explores what would have happened if Dawn hadn't seen sense and torn up the photo when she did. Joyce comes back wrong…
Grim Reality
by JK Philips
Buffy, Giles
Darkfic; Normal Again
Going AU from Normal Again, Buffy didn't get the antidote in time. With Buffy
catatonic and her friends and sister dead by her hands, Giles has to try and bring her
back to the real world.
Names and Dates and Times
by
s.a.
Character Study; S1
"It's like finding your baby book, if your baby book was
written by
stuffy British men."
Peace Treaty
by Bella Temple
Character Study; S3 (Dead Man's Party)
As the author's note says, there are several million fics dealing with Buffy finding out about Xander's infamous lie but I like the quiet maturity here.
Slices of Life: Anywhere But Here
by Jet Wolf
Buffy, Willow, Xander
Humour; Character Study; S7
Sweet Scoobie friendship set during season 7. The gang play Anywhere But Here. Lovely interaction we didn't get on screen.
Third Girl
by Sophia Jirafe
Character Study
After her second death, Buffy thinks about which girl was called this time. A vignette about destiny and bitterness.
Threnody of Wildflowers
by Yavi Asad
Vignette; post Chosen
"They're calling it the 'Miracle Bowl'. Hundreds of different flowers and plants
filling up a large dirt pit the size of a small town." Five years after Chosen,
Buffy, Willow and Xander hear about a miracle at the crater and come back to remember
the dead. Could come straight from Chicken Soup for the Buffy Fan's Soul.
Threnody for Fallen Warriors
by Christina Kamnikar
Character Study; post Graduation Day
After the Ascension, Buffy breaks into Sunnydale sanitorium to visit the comatose Faith. Something I can imagine happening on the show, and I loved the ending, as Buffy pays another fallen warrior a visit.
Too Bad the Burial Was Premature, She Said, And Smiled
By Trplpisces
Vignette; post The Gift
Beautiful stream-of-consciousness piece that gives us a look at Buffy's heaven. Best title ever.
Torn
by Giuliana
Vignette; The Gift/Bargaining
Ultra-short look at Buffy's death and her one moment of peace before Willow's spell.
Lots of nice imagery.
World in Her Teeth
by Tha Wrecka
Buffy, Kennedy/Willow
Ficlet; post-Chosen
Buffy watches her friends.
