The Appropriate Time
by Jennifer-Oksana
Vignette; post-Tomorrow
Wesley contemplates his twisted affair with Lilah, and talks with Steven. JennyO writes the best Wesley voice I've found, particularly the dark Wes of late season three.
Dreamer
by Tha Wrecka
Character Study; post Home
Connor has a mundane life, and dreams that are anything but.
Family
by Corinna
Drama; Futurefic
This one's set when Connor's a teenager (presumably in a reality where he wasn't kidnapped by Holtz). He seems to have a perfectly normal life - and then he meets Drusilla on the New York subway. Very short, with a nice sense of building menace.

Connor/Jasmine
Character Study; Vignette; S4
"Connor
seeks the comfort of family." Repeat after me: it's not incest if it's Connor,
mmkay?
fitter happier more productive
by Zara Hemla
Character Study; Angst; post Home
Five lives that Connor might lead. Reading this was like the first time I saw Fight
Club; it left me exhilirated and feeling slighty loopy. I'd have rated it as excellent
even without the little hint of Connor/Wesley but, well, I do love my Connor/Wesley.
The Haunting, Hunted Kind
by Selena
Darla, Connor
Character Study; Angst/Tragedy; S2 through Home
Soon after her resurrection, Darla finds herself haunted by a teenage boy who seems
oddly familiar. Mind-bendingly original idea that sees two timelines overlapping and
lets Connor and Darla interact without either of them initially knowing who the other
is. It made prickles rise up on the back of my neck.
Of Eyedee and Stranger Women
by Jennifer Oksana
Character Study
I could spend days reading this author's take on Connor. He's a fascinating, complex character and I love how she deals with his confusion about our world and his place in it. This piece has him visiting a seedy bar and getting accosted by a drunken Lilah (not in that way, though given the series' later Connor/Cordelia 'ship it wouldn't surprise me). There's a little Wes/Lilah in there, but mainly it's Connor's story and a great depiction of his jaded outlook.
On the Education of a Young Man
by Yahtzee
Character Study; post Tomorrow
Connor stalks a demon through the city, and we find out about the things he learned in Quor'toth. I adore Connor, and this gets right inside his confused little head.
Parallel Lives
by Roseveare
AU; Character Study; Futurefic
The very lovely Roseveare wrote this for me. Connor grew up in this dimension,
raised by Angel and Cordelia, and more recently living with his father and Buffy.
He's about as normal as the kid of two vampires could be, but it can't last. I loved
that Kate is in this.
Them Bones
by Viola
Character Study; post-S3
I adore Connor, and I'm thankful for authors who can capture his voice (and spell his bloody name correctly. Sorry.) This is a vignette about Connor and his ghosts. Competes with Jennifer Oksana for best characterization of a much underused character.
