I made a meme...I thought it would be fun and also a good way to share the stories you love.

Favourite Fics Meme

RULES

Please provide links to fics (preferably not to locked journals)
Please don't use your own fics.
Fics can be any rating.
Obviously many fics will fit more than one question, but it's more fun if you only use a fic once.
You don't have to answer all 25 questions, but please try to answer as many as possible.

Although I do read some stories in the Harry Potter fandom (*cough*

talesofsnape*cough*), I'm doing this meme on the Buffyverse fandom only...

1. Favourite OTP fic (That is your one true pairing)
This is unbelievably hard...there are so many Spuffy fics that I adore. I think my answer would regularly change between several incredible fics, but for today I am going to say My Life Closed Twice by

anaross

2. Favourite Canon pairing fic
The same problem as the previous question...today my answer is Hearts Breaking Even by

slaymesoftly

3. Favourite Non-Canon pairing fic
Again this is really hard ( I've come to the conclusion that they're all hard! lol) so I'm cheating a little... Either All the Sinners Saints by

amybnnyc or Faithfully Dangerous by

enigmatic_blue

4. Favourite M/M Slash fic
Another hard decision, and from a genre I don't read an awful lot of. Either Bitter Casualties by

spikeskat or You Can't Go Home Again by

slaymesoftly (Or maybe her Spander fic He Needs Me) Okay, yeah, I know...three is really pushing the whole cheating thing a bit far....but it was really hard to choose! lol

5. Favourite Femmeslash fic
Desert Saints by

faith1922

6. Favourite Gen fic
This is technically a Spuffy story, but only in that Spike and Buffy are together in it...However, it deals with so many characters and other relationships that it really does feel more like a fabulously intricate gen fic. Latter Days by

enigmatic_blue. And in this fic (set in the Spike's Will be Done verse) Spike and Buffy are also a couple, but their relationship plays no real part in this particular story Taking the Initiative by

talesofspike

7. Favourite PWP
By Way of Pain by

amybnnyc (Although calling it a PWP is really selling it short...it's an incredible fic!)

8. Favourite drabble
Drabbles are hard, you read so many of them that are really, really clever and well-written, but remembering where you read them is not easy. This one is not a true 100 word drabble, but it stayed with me, and I just love it. Fragile Mourning by

rayne_y_daze. And a true 100 word drabble--this was one of the first of Gabrielle's drabbles that I read, and it, also, has stayed with me. Warm in Your Coat

9. Favourite One Shot
Scars by

st_salieri

10. Favourite Chaptered fic
I Know You by

slaymesoftly

11.Favourite Series
Either The Journeys Series by

mary5958 or Spike's Will be Done Series by

talesofspike

12. Favourite WIP
Okay, I'm so gonna cheat again! lol Closure by

eowyn_315, We Will Remember Them by

lilachigh and one I've just started reading Sideways by Goldenusagi

13. Favourite Canon fic ( A fic that doesn't alter canon events in any way. Eg: a between the scenes story)
Whispers in a Dead Man's Ear by

amybnnyc

14. Favourite Alternate Reality (Begins in canon and then twists it.)
Another one where I could pick a dozen or more fics. Lost in Time by

spikeskat

15. Favourite Non-Canon story (Completely changes the events of canon Eg: Faith is the slayer, or Angel is the one captured by the Initiative.)
Buyer Beware by

just_sue

16. Favourite All Human
I'm not really a fan of all human stories... it was the characters in the show that I fell in love with, if you take the vamp/slayer/watcher etc away then to me they aren't really those characters. But I have read a few that I have enjoyed. The two that I remember devouring a few years back are Second Chance by

spikeskat and Shiver by

spikeslovebite (which it seems Tam has temporarily pulled off her site for re-writing.)

17. Favourite Character study
To Tell the Truth by

rayne_y_daze

18. Favourite Time Travel Fic
Future Imperfect by Cousinjean

19. Favourite Challenge response
A Reckoning by

talesofspike, Midnight in the Garden of Evil by

spikesdeb and

spikeskat

20. Favourite Humorous fic
Cancelled by

phendog

21. Favourite Tear jerker
Into the Light by

jen_nsync_landl

22. Favourite Happy or Fluffy fic
I'm more an angst reader, so I don't read an awful lot of happy or fluffy. I'm not sure if this qualifies as fluffy, but it's fun and not angsty so it's probably about as close as I'm gonna get... Mightier Than The Sword by

rahirah

23. Favourite Romance fic
Angsty, but still a romance (and I love a little--or a lot of--angst with my romance fics). Butterfly Effect by Cousinjean

24. Favourite Road Trip fic
The Alone Series by

spikeskat

25. Favourite fic for genre of your choice (ie baby fic, claim fic, crossover etc. Please state genre)
Legions of True Hearts by

eurydice72 Genre: William fic

Okay, so yeah...that was REALLY difficult, there were so many questions where I could easily have listed 10 or more fics... as it was I cheated and listed two (or three) fics ~~for most of them~~ a couple of times...

So, no tagging, just anyone who would like to do it, go for it!
