- Sidelines. A Season in Other Rooms by
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
eliade (Spike/Xander): And Xander still couldn't bring himself to move or touch anything. He'd never been sure if the proverbial glass was half-full or half-empty, but he knew when the glass was broken. - Unaccomodated Man by kindkit (Giles/Oz): He knows, of course, that this is a double exaggeration. He'll still be human most of the time.
And he hasn't really been human since Oz bit him, twenty-two days ago. - Alternative Lifestyle by acchapin (Ripper/ Buffy): Elsewhere.
- You Pretty Things by doyle_sb4 (Fred/Dawn): The line starts with her birth and trails into dashes two days ago, when they brought her back. She draws a little off-ramp for her five years in Pylea and marks with an X the moment when she died. Another X, smaller, a quarter-inch or so back from that. It’s not to scale, but it’ll do. She just needs a model.
- The Inherent Ineluctability of One's Fate by stoptocheer (Willow/Tara, Xander, Giles, Buffy, Dawn):
And screamed, and screamed, and screamed, until the world was gone. - Fairy Tales by nikitangel (Wes/Faith): Wes says that it didn’t always go down that way.
- Beats a Cruel December by Brighid (Spike/Dawn): "Who wants to play?" she asked softly, and their faces grew slick with fear. She was the Slayer.
And everyone knew the Slayer was a crazy-assed bitch. - Run and Catch by cesario (Drusilla, Dawn): Someone is trading one world for another, and Drusilla stands in the eddies of reality, ears attuned to one voice, then the next, none of them being especially permanent.
- Thaw by Dazzle (Angel/Buffy, Angel/Cordy): TWO DAYS AGO, IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE * I wouldn't usually warn but, this is a deeply unsympathetic Buffy portrayal
- American Gothic by Polly Burns (Connor/Wes): Time is strange, it's elastic, it can make itself impossibly dense or spread like a silk scarf. Time can arch its back like a cat and seem twice its size.

- Four Ghosts by holli (Giles, Buffy, Willow, Xander): By the end of your sophomore year of high school, you're pretty sure that Sunnydale High is haunted.
- Winners by Ins (Buffy, Willow, Xander, Tara): I meet up with Xander and give my count -- seven, now just
about dawn and time to pack it in -- and he grins, "lucky number,"
and it's been a good night. I'm glad to see him smiling. - The Gang of Four by Jim Loats (Willow, Cordy, Xander, Jesse): It's getting harder to remember every day, so I'm going to try to write it all down before it's gone.
- Not Quite The Loneliest Number" by stoptocheer (Xander/Willow): And hey, who could forget the grand number seventy-eight. Seventy-eight days since Jesse's body had started moving again.
- bleeding by lalejandra (Willow/Xander): She's lost everything.
She has Kennedy -- who doesn't count.

- anyway the main thing is by bettyp (Gunn/Wesley): But love. Love’s no joker. Love ain’t no song and dance and it ain’t getting its own special on HBO anytime soon.
- All That's Best of Dark and Bright by redbrickrose (Spike/Buffy, Buffy/Angel, Angel/Spike): She isn’t that girl, but if she isn’t the same, then neither is he.
- The Waking by mpoetess (Giles/withheld): Of course she loved him. How could she not, when Rupert Giles loved her?
- A Girl Made From Sky by doyle_sb4 (Dawn/Cheeseman): Sometimes, though it was strictly forbidden, he chased the worst of the nightmares away, and when he could spare the time he gave her more pleasant dreams.
- An Atlas Of The Beautiful World by croupier (Cordelia/Tara): They huddled together to keep warm that night, and when Tara whispered, "Thank you for doing this with me," Cordelia could only close her eyes and smile, because Tara was happy.
- a sorta fairytale by amerella (Spike & Dawn): And Dawn thinks of the way Spike had looked at Buffy, the way he still looks at her with his face that's the same, and then she doesn't know what to think anymore.
- Five Things That Never Happened To Xander Harris by stoptocheer (Xander): Xander just looked at him, so utterly blown away that Giles was remotely serious, that he almost forgot to pose for his own freeze-frame: "Xander 'the Man' Harris: Girl Magnet and Tweedy Watcher Guy In Training".
- shacked up #89 by rheanna27 (Wes/Gunn): Words are precious; a non-renewable resource. We use them sparingly, recycle where possible.
- proud: Things Giles Does Not Say, and One Thing He Does by ellen m (Giles): "I love you."
- Volcanoes Melt You Down by typicrobots (Willow): She isn't happy, because she wants to kiss everyone - Tara, Spike, Faith, Kennedy, Oz, all those boys at the clubs, and sometimes even Xander, when he's looking his most grieved.
