First, sign-ups are open for the xmmficathon here.

I would really like to post the two stories I've written and not posted, but I can't.

So instead, I rec stories.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

+ "Dog Days"

bytheriver05 wrote this for me in the oldschoolbtvs ficathon, and it is perfect. At first I wanted to say that it was as if it was written for me; obviously, it was written for me.

However, there's a line in there which actually made me touch my newest tattoo, because it was so spot on and absolutely perfect.

This is Faith, during season three, waiting: for the end of the world, for a fight, for Buffy -- just waiting, and it is beautiful.

Peanuts

+ "Happiness Is"

It's a lovely high school story about Lucy and Schroeder and the sweetness between them, even when they fail at things, at parts of life.

Protector of the Small

+ "Love's Labours Lost"

It's a ficlet about Cleon, doing what he must to save his family. His thoughts about Kel are what sold it for me, just all the way.

(I love Keladry. I need to go reread her quartet. Again.)

Now I am off to see the fireworks.
