Buffy and Angel are my couple, the couple I care about more than any other. I cry and laugh and agonize over them. I write about them because I love them, and I want to make everyone else cry and laugh and agonize with me.
I've grouped the stories roughly according to size (long stories vs. vignettes). Use the links to jump around or scroll to read all the descriptions and reader comments.

Great fic! Wonderful insight into Buffy and what Angel's return means
to her life and her future. I can't wait for more. ----- Laure

Buffy and Angel are captured by a demon, and Buffy has to make a choice. But is she prepared for the consequences of that choice? Here's a comment...
You made this story come to life like nothing I have ever read. Your way
of describing B&A, their feelings and situation and espcecially their
clasped hands and what they feel about it was nothing short of incredible. ----- Anja
What a fantastic piece of fanfic. I've read many, but few compare to what
you've written. ----- Claudia
LIGHT
What might have happened between Buffy and Angel on Valentine's Day if
he hadn't lost his soul? This is my take on it.
Very, VERY sappy...lovey-dovey... This is denial fic...S/I and everything after never happened. Here's a thought on it...
I have to say that "Light" is the sweetest fanfic about B/A that I've
ever read.
That's just how I'd think that they'd spend Valentines day together, away
from everyone else. Thanks, I think I'll survive until the next season now. -----

SAFE
HAVEN
This one is basically a re-hash from Buffy's POV of the scene in What's My Line where Buffy goes to Angel's apartment. See what someone else thought...
"Sheesh--just when I think I'm doing fairly well at my attempts at
fiction, you had to go and write this. Now I've got to work that much harder" ---- Bill M.
SLOW BURN
Angel's POV at the end of the third season episode "Lovers Walk."
Short, angsty piece.
"A lot of these internal
reflections get too sugary, or spend too much time flashing back to the
show. Yours did neither. It was very good. I especially like how you
went into why he couldn't lie about loving her." ---- Wanderlost
WAYS TO HURT
Buffy's POV after the fight with Angel in "Sanctuary." My take on why she was acting the way she did. A bit of feedback...
"I loved this with all my heart Rebecca. This was truly beautiful.
And when I think how quickly you jumped into her frame of mind I feel bad for calling her a selfish bitch." ---- Karen
TO BE READ TOGETHER
DUST
It's a vignette from Angel's point of view about the events of
Surprise and Innocence. Based on the dream Buffy has of Angel in the sunlight. Here's a reaction...
"Ok, stop it!!!! I'm not supposed to be in tears this early in the
morning!!!
Nice job, Rebecca.... I think you captured that moment perfectly." ------ Terry
TODAY
This is the companion piece to Dust. It's a vignette from Buffy's POV. Based on Surprise and Innocence. And yes it is another tear-jerker. Here's a comment...
" As thoroughly well written & moving of a downer as the last
one." ----- Leah

HEART
The last Buffy and Angel scene in Becoming from Buffy's POV. Very
painful. Bring a tissue. Here's one piece of feedback...
Oh my God, I'm crying again like a baby.
I loved this story, it covered every feeling I thought Buffy would be having.
After S/I you made me cry and now you have done it again. I'm not
complaining,don't get me wrong, it is great therapy.
----- Tricia
HELL
The companion piece to Heart. It's from Angel's POV. His reflections on his last moments with Buffy, and their relationship in general. Here's a comment about the pair of stories...
Oh, Lord! I don't think that I have it in me to cry again today, I'm
so dehydrated! Stupid me, I didn't follow your tissue warning. Thank you
so much for writing these stories. While they were thearaputic for you to
write, they were the same for me to read. A real comfort in a time of sadness.
----- Amy

FITTING
Buffy's POV after Angel leaves, mainly focused on "Graduation Day." A look at the relationship after the break-up. Here's a comment...
I really liked your story. It told a different perspective than we got in the episode, and I love POV stories that do that. I really like your writing style. Not many people can write first person fanfic convincingly, but I always enjoy your stories. ----- Diana
NOT FIT
The companion Angel POV to Fitting. Angel tries to explain why he had to leave. A comment...
"I LOVED this story. LOVED. ADORED. It's so goddamn
clever and sweet and all those other adjectives I can't think of. And that ending is just awesome. I grovel at your feet! ----- zero
