Summary
1882. Four vampires have acquired an invitation to the social event of the wilds of Surrey, but Spike's had a bit of an altercation. Bloody poets should never be allowed out in society. Worst of all, Darla and Angelus are acting like the frilly-shirted wanker isn't even there.

Summary
Darla has been getting under Angelus' skin, insisting that she's referencing tradition when she's really just making up words.

Edge-of-your seat tension and a soft undertone of melancholy as Angel tries to reconcile his role as Champion in a world that seems random and without meaning. Great pacing and tension, a beautifully understated longing. And wonderful interactions with Angel and Spike.

Wonderful fledge!William voice as he strives to sever all his ties with the human world now that he's been made a creature of the night. Terrific buddy-bonding (vamp style so there's gore and violence against hapless humans) between Angelus and Spike.

Summary
It’s not even a new scene in their lives. Him with a soul, Darla holding a baby, and a choice to be made. Last time there was more blood involved.

Bookmarker's Notes
Beautiful reimagining/fix-it fic on the premise: what if Darla didn't sacrifice herself?
Examines maternal love in its multitude of vampire forms, as embodied by Darla.
Excellent character development and voices for Darla and Angel. -

Summary
There’s nothing in this pen but white tile and a little drain in one corner, too small to stick a hand down. A little light in the ceiling, blinking red, serves as the only break in a sea of blinding bone.
Drusilla returns to set things right. It doesn't exactly go to plan.

A fantastic imagining of Dru and Spike re-encountering one another in the belly of a most hostile place: The Initiative.

Summary
Post-NFA. Angel is dealing with life, or maybe not dealing with it, depending on who you ask. Somebody with a sense of humour sends Darla his way. The fact that she is dead is not as big an obstacle to this as it reasonably should be. Life continues to persist, or something.

A fantastic character study and exploration of Angel and Darla's ongoing relationship/interactions post-series. Great Angel POV and character voices.
