Freak Show
by Kate Bolin
Character Study; Darkfic; Vignette

I can't describe this one, except to say that it's an Oz story, and that there's no real reason why it should creep me out, but it does. I've read this a lot of times.

Lessons

Character Study; post S4

Oz lists the things that he didn't learn in any classroom. Zen musings on life, love, friendship, pain and weird comics based on The Wizard of Oz. Short piece that manages to go from funny to dark to thought-provoking.

Optimistic

A very creepy Oz short story, like something by Lovecraft. The tension builds almost without you being aware of it until the final scene. I love this one.

Fred/Willow, Oz
Character Study; Futurefic

There is very little I like better in my fanfic than characters toking up. Especially when it's Fred. In this she goes to a party and meets Oz, and the conversation they have is excellent.

All characters
