Quick notes on other posts first:

" How does John get ¾ of a thumb up, anyway?

" Actually, "Ages Apart" is the *first* part of DawnM's current
series.  The one being posted now is "The Good, The Bad, and the Fangy".

And for some fics, off the top of my head (by no means a definitive
list):

"Starlight", by Janine.  

Beautiful opening and "Somewhere in the world&" remains my favorite
"culmination" moment.

"A Little Birdie Told Me So", by Janine

Wonderful comedy, both for Buffy's reaction to the idea of her and
Willow and for the Spike and Anya bits.  (Ohh, for the days when I loved
Spike and Anya!  Die, Season Sux!  Grr.)  The story concludes in "More
Than Words", which is perfectly fine, but this is the part that gets it
on my list.

"Children of the Earth", by Willow X.

The *real* Season 6, as Patrick once said.

"Five Futures Full Of Alcohol and Sex", by Kyra Cullinan

About the only fic that really made me believe in a post-"Chosen" B/W,
captured all the joy that they were together and made me think they
could be again.  Plus, the other parts IMO showed me how superior B/W is
to B/F, B/X, and B/G, even though I support those 'ships as well.  (The
B/S/A thing at the end isn't even worth mentioning, for me.)  IIRC, I
did a little essay on it, once.

"Trying Not to Think of Elephants" by Rebecca Lizard

No Buffy in this fic, and barely any B/W, either.  Just Willow lonely
and not coping, and IMO a perfect expose of the inevitability of B/W and
the inadequacy of W/T.

(As you may have guessed, I have a little fondness for fics that gently
slam other 'ships, or confirm my B/W preferences.  I'll pass on "kick
Riley around", although I did enjoy The Bear's "Everyone Else Could See
It", but I do smirk evilly at a couple of fics whose title escapes me:
the one by Angelina where Tara catches B/W in the act and learns that
the entire W/T "relationship" has been a front, and the one by Red
Willow where Kennedy wishes Buffy wasn't so lonely, and then finds out
what those references to "Old Reliable" in Buffy's diary are all
about&)

"Conversations" by Selenay.

Brings the angst, and brings it **hard**.  Yeah, Buffy's house doesn't
have a window seat.  I.Don't.Care.
