Buffyverse Recs from Previous Journal (for Reference)
Fandom: Buffy
Rating: U
Characters/Pairings: Tara, Spike
Length: Short Story

What I love about this: This is a well-written little vignette about Spike and Tara shopping for Valentine gifts; beautiful, well-observed and sad.
Shiny Happy People
Fandom: Angel (Buffyverse)
Rating: No Rating Given (PG-ish)
Characters/Pairings: Cordelia/Angel, Buffy/Angel
Length: Multiple Parts

What is this?: Anyone who has been unfortunate enough to see Barb Wire knows that just because you are taking Casablanca as your starting point things are not necessarily going to go well. Fortunately this Buffyverse Casablanca AU works incredibly well with Casablanca updated to an LA that is under the control of Wolfram and Heart and their allies. Cordelia gets the role of Rick while Angel is Ilsa. If I have one quibble it is that Whedon's dialogue is so distinctive that it's a little too obvious when words are being transferred directly from the original movie into this AU. That quibble aside, however, this is well worth a read.
