So, we all know that Giles drinks tea.  But what about Buffy?  Are we ever told what her favorite beverage is?  Alcoholic or non-alcoholic, canon or fanon--lay it on me.

Go check out all the lovely stories in remixredux08. Here is part one of my list of recs:

Some Mother's Son (The A-Z Remix). Stargate: Atlantis, pre-series. Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.

Fandom: BtVS/Star Trek: The Next Generation
Challenge: #72: Forgotten and Remembered
Notes: ends during the TNG episode The Child, in which an alien energy being impregnates Counselor Troi.



All mortals, including Dawn Summers, die eventually. The Key is not mortal.

When its shell dies, the Key wanders the universe, reconnecting with others of its own kind. The Key remembers the joys of life spent dancing among stars, galaxies, universes, the fabric of existence laid out before it.

The Key forgets demons and hellgods, vampires and slayers, faces of loved ones. Flesh does not matter to energy.

But at last, it stumbles across a metal container full of air called Enterprise, full of mortals. It remembers a thing called “home” and thinks, perhaps I’ll be a boy, this time.

Title: Voices in the Dark: Earth

(  The Pope wishes to meet us.  )

For those of you not in fandom, there have been a lot of "meta" posts about racism, anti-semitism, and various other "isms" lately, particularly as regards fandom and fanfic.

So I was reading a Buffy fanfic today, (not terribly impressed with it, but willing to spend the time to read it). Post-Chosen, Slayer school funded by the money left from the old Council, Buffy and Xander as teachers/den mothers, yadda yadda. They get out of the airport, and the BMW Willow sent for them is waiting, complete with a Black driver. Whose first line is: “Good to see you again, Mizz Summers.” Morris said with a smile so wide it showed off a perfect set of white teeth that shone against his dark chocolate skin. “And you Mister Xander.” He opened the car door for them. “Mizz Willow said you’d be needing a ride so here I be.”

WTF? Did we just enter a time warp to the 1930's without me noticing it? I left a review noting the issue; hope I'm not the only one with the courage to do that.

If you want a story that deals with racial/cultural issues well, go read Macedon & Peg's "braided" Star Trek: Voyager novel Talking Stick/Circle. I've loved Macedon's work since I stumbled across it a few years ago, but I never got around to reading this story until recently because Voyager's not my thing. I mean, the characters are plastic, the stories were cliche, and the writing depended on overworked platitudes rather than actual thought.

Talking Stick/Circle is what Voyager could have been, if the writers had had the courage. Alternating between Chakotay and Janeway's POVs, it deals with some tough issues: what about racism/culturism in the egalitarian Federation (particularly the fact that Chakotay's homeworld, abandoned to the Cardassians' tender mercies, was an Indian colony)? What about the relations between Maquis and Starfleet crewmembers? When there is no "right" answer, only varying degrees of wrong, how do you choose? The issues flow naturally from the characters and plot, the characters are engaging and far more "rounded" than what we saw on the show, the plot is more than regurgitated space-time anomalies. It's an awesome story/series. You may not agree with everything in it, but if it doesn't make you think (and enjoy the story while you're at it!), you have no brain. It's an incredible piece/collection of writing. Go now and check it out!

I'm in the mood to rec some vids. Here are a selection of my favorites for which I can still find download links that work. All links are to the pages you can find them on.

So, after almost eight months, part two is finally ready to go. Sorry for the wait, folks. There will probably be more parts, but I'm planning on each part being relatively self-contained and ending at a logical stopping place, so don't worry about it being a WIP.

Fandom: BtVS/West Wing
Rating: PG-13
Summary: "Chosen" has repurcussions for Donnatella Moss.

Part One





Hopefully, the next installment will take less than eight months to get here.

From wesleysgirl: Please post in your own journal recommending 5 (or more) of your favorite Jossverse fics. Stories should be the ones that best remind you of what you loved about the shows -- this can be the dialogue, the characters, the plots, the angst, the humor, or whatever you find yourself missing the most. (It's okay to include self-recs on your list! You can also choose to do only BtVS or Ats stories instead of both. Do what you feel like.) Comment to this post with a link to your post, and I'll compile a master list of the recs so that we can all feel the love. Feel free to pimp this far and wide!

My list:

Hoop Screams. Angel. When the Staples Center becomes infested by demons, there's only one detective agency in L.A. the Lakers can call on.

My Heroes Have Always Been Demons. Angel. The things Angel thought about before signing away his rights to the Shanshu prophecy.

Odi et Amo. Angel. Wes and Connor.

Vivere. Angel. What does it mean to be alive?

Mistletoads And Eggsnog. Buffy, B/G. Someone puts a curse on Buffy that any one she kisses who isn’t her true soul mate will turn into a frog, and the only way to turn these unfortunates back is to *find* her soul mate. After turning two or three innocent fellows into frogs, Buffy begins kissing everyone she knows to find her true soul mate in order that she might help out her previous victims.

Dragon Heart. Buffy, B/G. Buffy and Giles go searching for a weapon, and have a heart to heart.

Contrite Spirits. Buffy. Xander and Faith go looking for a new slayer.

The Way We Live Now. Buffy. Spike contemplates life with a (fairly recently) ensouled Drusilla.

When They Take You In. Buffy. Home is the place that, when you have to go there, they have to take you in. After the Eyghon debacle, Rupert and his parents pick up the pieces.

Another Peaceful War. Buffy. Following his debriefing after "Restless" -- the fourth-season finale of Buffy -- Riley Finn tries to work through the trauma of the collapse of the Initiative by going home to his family in Iowa -- only to find that he truly can't go home again...

Finally! I can show you the fic I wrote for this year's remix_redux.

Title: What a Father Is (the DNA Remix)
Author: beatrice_otter
Summary: "I realize you’ve a dearth of male role models in your life, but a father is more than just an older man who happens to be around or who just happened to supply half your DNA." What the monks didn't tell about Dawn.

Original Story: Her Father's Daughter by jedibuttercup
Thanks to alixtii for the beta!

Having spent way too much time yesterday and today reading Remix fics instead of doing my homework, here are my favorites:

SG-1:
Trigger Finger (The Eleven O'Clock Remix). Daniel has an unexpected brush with danger, and his team members find out. Also check out the original, Trigger Finger by Kathryn Andersen. It's not quite a ninja!Daniel fic, but it's good.

Atlantis:
We Swim Here One Stroke at a Time (The Post Hoc Remix). Rodney re-acclimates to Earth, or doesn't.

The Pledge and the Turn (The Paramnesia Remix). It takes a special kind of magician to make the extraordinary ordinary. Lorne and McKay and AAR's.

Buffy:
Dragon Heart. Buffy and Giles go searching for a weapon, and have a heart to heart.

What a Father Is (the DNA Remix). "I realize you’ve a dearth of male role models in your life, but a father is more than just an older man who happens to be around or who just happened to supply half your DNA." What the monks didn't say about Dawn.

Star Trek:
Power Corrupts (The Absolute Absolution Remix). It's the trial of the aeon. The Q Continuum vs. Kes, for the destruction of the Borg.

Narnia:
Legacy (The Spy Who Loved Me Remix). The most important asset to sovereignty is intelligence.

And a Doctor Who fic series that I found through its remix: Cheer Up, Emo Time Moppet. Life through the eyes of the Doctor and Romana's teenage daughter.

Go, read, and feed the authors!
