Title: As Time Goes By
Author: Yahtzee
Pairing: Buffy/Angel, Angel/Cordelia, Wes/Fred
Spoilers: early S3
Summary: The world has gone to hell, and a disillusioned Cordelia may just hold the key to saving it, but whose side is she on?
Link: As Time Goes By
Why: You know those fics where someone takes the plot of a classic movie and rewrites it using characters and settings from another fandom? Yeah. This is one of those. Quite possibly the best one ever written--a post-demon-apocalyptic version of Casablanca with Cordy in Rick's shoes.

Title: Destination Unknown
Author: Yahtzee
Pairing: Buffy/Giles, Angel/Cordelia
Spoilers: S6, possibly 7
Summary: When Buffy comes to England, ostensibly to get Giles' input on a mysterious crystal, the two are forced to confront some difficult truths about their relationship.
Link: Destination Unknown
Why: Because this is quite literally the ONLY Buffy/Giles fic I've ever read that made the pairing work for me, and considering how much I generally don't like them as a couple, that says a lot about the fic.

Title: Five Ways the World Won't End (And One Way It Could)
Author: CL Kamnikar
Pairing: mostly-ignorable hints of Buffy/Spike, Willow/Xander, Xander/Anya, Willow/Wesley, Giles/Anya, Angel/Cordelia, others
Spoilers: Buffy--up through "The Killer in Me" then just speculation; Fray--issue 6 (but you don't need to read Fray to understand it, I don't *g*)
Summary: See title.
Link: Five Ways the World Won't End (And One Way It Could)
Why: Bittersweet little alternate endings to "The Gift" and season 7, proving that the end of the world doesn't always have to mean the apocalypse, or even be something that everyone in the world would even notice.

Title: The Uninvited Guest
Author: Yahtzee
Pairing: Gunn/Faith, Angel/Cordelia, Angel/Buffy, slight Fred/Connor (mostly one-sided)
Spoilers: BtVS S6, Angel S3 (goes AU towards the end of both)
Summary: Faith's coming home to face the truth...but is the rest of the Fang Gang ready for what she knows?
Link: The Uninvited Guest
Why: Because Yahtzee rocks, especially at long, angsty, plotty ensemble fics. Plus it's one of the only Gunn/Faith fics out there.
