ice cream for freaks: buffy and angel fanfic recs

Connor/Wesley

American Gothic
by Polly Burns
Romance; post-Tomorrow

Months after the S3 finale, Wesley and Connor/Stephen are in a relationship. This is a sweet story set at Halloween. I loved it.

Converse
by Moonloon
Humour; Romance; early season 4
I want to eat Connor and Wesley up with a spoon, and maybe do the same to this author for giving me a sweet little ficlet about Connor disturbing Wes in the night.

Deliverance
by Debchan
Slash; post-Tomorrow

My obsessive hunt for good Connor/Wesley turned up this; with nowhere else to go, Connor looks up someone Holtz always told him was a good man. No overt smut or sentimentality, this is how I could see these two getting together.

Falling
by Lyra Jane
Angst; S5
The mindwipe comes undone, and Connor turns up at Wesley's apartment. Pretty pretty angst. Louder Than Words
by Wesleysgirl
Angst/dark; S4 (Sacrifice)

Warning for non-con. Connor tries to take something of Angel's.

Odi et Amo
by Corinna
Drama; between S3/S4
Or, The Redemption of Stephen. It's pre-slash (which, if you don't wish to see the Connor/Wes subtext, you may term gen. I very much want to see the subtext, so it's in the slash section.)

Parapraxis
by Mad Poetess
Angst; post Home

In the last flashficathon I requested "Connor/Wesley, after Home". This is the story Mad Poetess wrote in response, and it fulfills just about every kink I have about those two. Wesley picks up "David" in a bar. Smut ensues. I love this to an insane degree.

Strategy
by The Brat Queen
Connor/Wesley, Angel/Wesley
Darkfic; Angst; AU from Sacrifice
I followed this in chapters on TBQ's Livejournal. When I say "followed" I mean "was addicted to the point that I wanted to stalk the author and give her cookies." This constructs a plausible AU from the Jasmine arc; Angel's team form a resistance movement based in the sewers beneath Los Angeles, until Wesley is taken prisoner by Connor. If you don't like your characters hurt/broken you might want to stop reading right about there, because this goes very dark. Deals with rape and violent sexual abuse, but it's far more than a fic that's dark for the sake of being dark. It travels deep into the psyches of Wes, Connor and (to a lesser degree) Angel and pulls out some twisted things.

Sunday Morning
by s.a.
Romance; Futurefic
It's the future. Connor and Wesley are living together. As an unrepentant Wescon shipper, this fic makes me very happy indeed.

These Reasonable Taboos
by Glossolia
Angst; Character Study; between S3-S4
Connor spends the summer at the Hyperion, watching TV and adjusting to this dimension and forming a twisted relationship with the Englishman who's been following him... I adore this, not only because it's about my OTP, but because this Connor is so perfectly in character.

Those Who Favor Fire
by Wesleysgirl
Angst; AU
This story is absolute proof that the world is not perfect. If it was (were?) this would be the aired version of Rain of Fire. As it is, I shall just have to live in delusion.
