Snowflake Challenge #6

Challenge #6: In your own space, rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create.

#1: The Good Place fic: The Three People, One Dog, and One Non-Human Non-Robot Not-a-Girl You Meet in Heaven by samalander. It absolutely nails Jason Mendoza's sweetness and weirdness. The non-canonical elements (like Jason's mother) blend in beautifully with canon. It's fantastic.

#2 Buffy fic: Inversion by Trekker. It's canon-divergent Season 2, where Angelus turns Jenny instead of killing her, and Jenny turns Giles into a vampire, leaving the world-saving to a bunch of teenagers with no real adult guidance. It's absolutely harrowing at times.The thing I like best about it is the characterization. The characters are their Season 2 selves, but the characterization is informed by elements we learned later in canon, like Xander's horrible dad or Willow's ruthless streak.

#3 She-Ra fic: The Good Soldier by Redrikki: I'm a sucker for minor character POV and this scratches that itch nicely. It's Lonnie, and she has no patience for Catra in Season 1, for good reasons.

Ooh, I love Trekker's works. *grin*

I've recently gotten into She-Ra. I'm watching the 4th season now. Loved the story you rec'd.

She-Ra reminding you of Buffy. Yeah, I can see that.

That Buffy fic looks fantastic. I'm going to check it out when I have the energy for it.

I haven't read in BtVS in a while, but that fic sounds intriguing!

Inversion sounds fascinating, so I've bookmarked - thanks for the rec!

I do love a good vampire Giles - Career Change and Career Advancement by riani1 are two of my all time favourite fics.
