Proof that [[SturgeonsSturgeon's Law|the remaining 10% is worth dying (TWICE) for]] here.
 
These are recommendations made by tropers for ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. After a few samples, you will be able to note the interests of the tropers recommending them, and judge whether you might be also interested in a certain 'fic.
Line 112:
* Recommended by [[User:Looney Toons]], Kalimada
* ''Synopsis'': A twenty-something British man wakes up in Buffy Summers' body on the first day of the TV series. While not exactly happy with the situation, he'll use what he can remember of the first season to make the best of his situation and maybe make some better choices than the "real" Buffy did. Now if only (s)he can figure out why there's a 10-year-old Dawn hanging around. Oh, and yeah, stop obviously drooling over Willow.
* ''Comments:'' Clever, well-done [[Self -Insert Fic]] that doesn't go overboard with the advantages of foreknowledge. In the ten extant chapters it covers a fair amount of the first season, but while the author fully intends to write more, it has been moribund since 2006. Laugh-out-loud funny at points and definitely worth a look.
 
 
Line 156:
* Recommended by [[User:Majin Gojira]]
* Synopsis: Xander goes to the Congo to find a new Slayer. While there, he has a surprise encounter with a creature that shouldn't exist. Oneshot, complete.
* Comments: A short story, but one worth the read for the acknowledgment of different cultures around the world, language barriers and the appearance of [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Dinosaurs|a cryptozoological icon in a non-antagonistic manner]].

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6939823/1/Two_Slayers_One_Heart_Version_ThreePointZero Two Slayers -- One Heart (Version 3.0)]'' by Wild Paladin. (Some lesbian sex between teens, some group sex, one [[May -December Romance]]. AU.)
* Recommended by [[User:Grey Paladin]]
** Also recommended by [[Tropers/HG 131|HG 131]].
Line 193:
* Recommended by [[User:Wolfram And Hart]]
* ''Synopsis'':The Master, Drusilla, the Mayor, Adam, Glory, Warren and Caleb have long since been sent to Hell, and now they meet up to discuss their hatred for Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
* ''Comments'' Imagine the [[Batman: theThe Animated Series (Animation)|Batman]] episode, ''Almost Got 'Im'', but with the [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] of BTVS. It's fun to see all the show's bigget villains work off of each other and they're written in character very well.
 
 
Line 439:
* ''Synopsis'': The Buffyverse four years after season 7, and the Powers That Be find a way to screw with Xander while he's taking a bunch of mini-Slayers out trick-or-treating, thanks to an escaped Goa'uld and (mid-fourth season) SG-1.
* ''Comments'': A 47-chapter ''complete'' story showing what the Scooby Gang must look like to outsiders, even outsiders as experienced as the original SG-1. No shipping, no Bitchy!Buffy, no Psycho!Faith. A functional Scooby Gang, and a fun read. Plus, plenty of snarky Jack-and-Xander dialogue.
** Review: Okay, is so and so done. Good characterization and good dialogue. But Buffy verse is ''imbalance to death''. I mean, [[SG 1]] had taken by that moment entire Goa'uld Lords and are treated like kids against the scooby Gang. There is a lot, and I [[Science Is Wrong|mean a lot]] of ''military is bad'' going on and Willow... Also, Riley had to be the '''worst''' militar man in existence, literally [[False Dichotomy|supporting]] what could be nicely be called a semi-competent anarchist, third wold level trained group ([[Oddly Small Organization|who when having less than a hundred individuals, are supposed to protect the entire world, at all times/places]]), constantly sneer at the [[Armies Are Evil|Military]] Idiocy and all in all had caused [[Straw Hypocrite|to forces of Darkness]] to continue going (mostly) scott free to uphold a [[Masquerade]], [[Protagonist -Centered Morality|because Buffy]] is the [[Chosen One]], a supreme warrior and can handle (which, is odly, against U.S Militar mindset) it alone. Yeah, recommended but honestly for this troper, make it glad that is actually the Army and not a group of teenagers and co. who handle global problems.
** Seconding this story. Both 'verses are balanced perfectly. There's great characterization for both [[SG 1]] and the Scooby Gang, as well as the original characters. The plot is very engaging. Riley is great as a go-between and I like the character development he and his wife get.
