So last week I finished Angel: the Series. ( Spoilers through the end of the TV show, a mixed bag of positive and negative reactions )
So, now that I've finished both series, I'm open to recs! Vids especially, I'd love vids for either show (oh! I've been lent Scooby Road and entirely forgot I had it, will have to watch that!)- I've mentioned my preferences before, but really, if the vid is awesome or pretty or hysterical, I'd love to see it. As far as fic goes...I am sort of wanting fic, but what I'm wanting is pretty specific and not that common, from the Buffyverse fic I've looked at...I'd like AtS s5/post-series stuff* that's not incredibly angsty; if not gen (and good, non-depressing post-AtS gen would be awesome) I'd especially love either a B/A fic with a happy ending that I can believe in (pretty much all the B/A I've seen is either ridiculously unconvincing domestic romantic fluff, or tragic AAAAAANGST, much of it well written but not what I'm in the mood for) or else a Buffy/Angel/Spike fic that's more about story than the sex. And that has a happy ending! which I don't even know how it could work, but want it bad enough that I'm tempted to try to write it myself, just to figure it out.
* I know there's a lot of great fic written earlier in AtS's run, but I've got this thing that I can't really read fic about characters who later die in canon. E.g. I can't read fic set in the first couple seasons of NCIS, for all that I loved SPOILER. So most earlier Buffy & Angel fic wouldn't work for me, now that I've seen the whole show. The one exception is chars who die in the final eps, because generally I can just forget that they ever did. But most of the BtVS/AtS deaths cannot be denied as easily as, say, Richie Ryan's...
I also must mention that having finished with the Buffyverse, I've started watching Bones (yes, yes, I'm madly crushing on David Boreanaz, moving on), am at the beginning of s2 and am rather enjoying that. ( no specific spoilers, but cutting for those not interested ) All the show wants for is a bit more h/c...(if there's any good Bones h/c fic out there, please to be pointing me toward it?)
