Love Makes You Do the Wacky: Willow Rosenberg Fic Recs

[gwynevere1.livejournal.com]

Willow (1/1) by iwrotethat (PG-13/T) - Bits and pieces of Willow's life.
This is my favorite Willow fic. It's a lovingly crafted portrait, that doesn't make Willow too sappy nor too dark. The author has a wonderful understanding of the character. It's just an excellent study of Willow.

Deus Otiosis by annakovsky (PG-13) - During the Season 7 episode "Empty Places," Willow thinks about the Scoobies and what they've lost.

Fabled and Fabulous by jennyo (PG-13) - I'm probably never going to be able to get through a themed fic recs list without including something by Jennifer-Oksana. Willow meets the dragon lady and lives to tell the tale. (Lilah/Willow) May be more of a Lilah story than a Willow story, but there's still a lot of Willow in the fic.

Talk by Fabrisse (PG-13) - Giles and Willow discuss Magic--and other things. Sometimes metaphors have to be taken literally--and subtext is rapidly becoming talk, er, text.

volcanoes melt you down by winter_baby (strong R) - Willow questions her sexuality. Again. Willow/Giles, Willow/Kennedy, and a million other Willow pairings, both slash and het. Basically, anyone our favorite redhead has ever looked at--and then some.

The Waiting Room Series by mispel (Overall, PG-13) -
Waiting Room
Come Out and Play
The Outing
Waiting For the Apocalypse
The History of the End of the World
Future Willow meets Drusilla in a strange place. I think this is the only Willow/Dru story I've seen. Plus, I always enjoy a good apocalypse. These stories can be read independently of each other, but they work better if you read them in order.

with the lights out it's less dangerous by sophia_helix (R) - Sex, and Willow doesn't get away with it. I particularly related to the part about Willow's teenaged fantasies of sex never involving anything dirty or indecent, versus her adult understanding of its complicated, messy nature: "She used to think about this back in high school, sharing kisses and a bed with him in a soft, opaque haze of fantasy that never let the naughty parts show. And here they are now, mostly clothed, and far apart and eyes shut and it's nothing like she could ever have made up." Now that I look over this list, there's a surprising amount of Giles/Willow on it.
