Hey I red billtheradish's story and am halfway through waldorph's - both of the so good. You rec THE BEST STUFF. Honestly. That Big bad wolf story? It starts out in a way like all those Spike-centric stories I've read in which he's the hero and then quietly subverts my expectations. The author doesn't write the wolf as a misunderstood poet who wouldn't hurt a soul. They write the wolf as a wolf, with a wolf's understanding of the world.
And I have to thank you because I read one of pprfaith's Buffy/Loki one-shots from last year - I had no idea they wrote that pairing and they've been writing Buffy for ten years - as a hero, and the woman I recognize. Fantastic characterization. Can't wait to dive in for more (and I'm not even familiar with current Marvel superhero fandom other than, Tom Hiddleston plays Loki and I've seen Iron Man.)
THANK YOU FOR THE RECS!
