After the War: Texas by Prophecy Girl (R)
     Faith'll give Buffy anything she wants, but Buffy wants a guy.

Cracks by [oroborusfox] (R) [personal lj link]
     This is so achey and true.

* Cruel Mistress by nova25 (PG-13)
     AU based on Tam Lin with Buffy, Faith, and Willow. Wonderful use of tone and motif. Feels like fairy tale but also feels like the characters we know.

Penitential by Nifra Idril (R) [non-lj link]
     In jail, Faith thinks about Buffy.

The Same Old Story by Minim Calibre (R, post-series, ~1100 words)
     Yes, it is the same old story (fucking and fighting, in a graveyard even), but it's done well, and this is how it happens isn't it?

Sealed With a Kiss by the Mad Poetess (R)
     Season 3. Authorial Summary: The valentines you never send, and the ones you do.

Tissue by shati (PG; post-"Chosen;" 1,643 words)
     I love this tender look at their dynamic -- it's both fun and easy as well as fragile.

And that mutual grooming thing that chimps do? Also good. If you see typos, broken links, or anything else that needs fixing on this site, please let me know. And always feel free to recommend me fanfic, books, whatever.
