BtVS/AtS Fic
The mods at
gave me a special award for October of 2007 for writing a mixture of BtVS and Firefly horror:
The Avengers Series
Five stories. Begins in the middle of season 7 and stretches past the season 8 comic “No Future for You.” This is an ongoing tale of Giles and Faith - from how they each fall into dark times to how their new work partnership and friendship leads both to a better place. The first two stories focus on the individual characters separately, while the remainder are about the pair working together. Each story can stand alone, but the series gives the characters a bigger arc.
