Plot: Faith gets out of prison to make things right. Things go wrong.
Review: This story starts with one of the best twists I've ever read, it then shows all the glorious knock-on effects. It's brilliantly written, with excellent portrayals of Faith, Willow and Dawn and the interactions between them.
It's got 15 chapters and each one is better than the last.
Can't recommend it strongly enough.

Plot: A virtual spin-off series for Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Review: Now that the final episodes of Buffy have aired and we're all starting to go through withdrawal, this is a welcome slayage-fix :-)
A lot of work goes into any virtural series and this is no exception. I was intrigued by the idea of a Buffy spin-off, not certain whether I'd like whatever the authors set up, but after a couple of episodes I can honestly say that this is great. The head writers are well-known in the Xena world (so I now have to hunt down any other Buffy fic they've written) and they have a large staff of artists, writers and techy folks to make this special. So far the eps have been well-written and beautifully presented.
Each episode is only up for one week, but the site owners have promised that there will be re-run weeks so you can catch up on any you've missed. Another tip is to read the backstory because it gives a lot of set-up for the series. Lastly - enjoy this :-)

Plot: A series in progress following an alternative plot from Lovers Walk - in which Xander and Oz get together, Cordy finds out an is able to manipulate the Scoobies.
Review: I don't think this author has been posting fic for very long, but he/she (he?) seems to be able to write the voices of the characters well. I wouldn't normally even read a WIP but I started this without realising and got hooked... Cordelia's characterisation is really good, and Xander's voice comes across very well. It has some hilarious moments, especially in the way Xander and Cordy act as exes, and while the fic is dealing with a sad time for the Scoobies, it is not overly angst-y. In fact, I only just realised that the only characters to appear are Oz, Xander, Cordy and Willow. Huh. I didn't even notice. This fic is perhaps not the author's best genre (which is hilarious comedy) but it's well worth a read!
