I don't know if anyone still reads this community but in the off-chance they do...

I'm looking for a Buffy/Wesley fic. It might just be friendship, I don't remember.

It was set at some point after s3, Wesley came back to Sunnydale and he and Buffy became friends.

Near the end is a scene in hospital where either Buffy or Wes makes a reference to Kermit the frog and start laughing together, making the other Scoobies wonder what's going on.

I remember the background was green and it was on a Wes-site but I can't seem to find it now.


(Failing that, anyone got any Buffy/Wesley recs?)

Hey, I'm new here and have recently fallen in love with the show Angel and the character of Wesley Wyndam-Pryce. A couple of months ago I read this fic on fanfiction.net called "New All Over" that I thought was an interesting read, where Wes became this powerful being and worried that he was becoming evil.

I know it might be kind of cliched, but I was wondering if you guys could recommend any other fic along those lines? Preferably of an Angel/Wesley variety, but a genfic like that would be cool too. I just always thought that if the show had lasted longer Wesley might have progressed to some new levels of strength (kind of the way Willow did) or destiny. I kind of based that on something Lorne said to Angel in Season Two, but anyway, I loved his badass self in the last two seasons.

So yeah, I'd appreciate anything anyone would like to lead me to. Thanks!

Okay, I'm looking for two fics (maybe they're the same one):

First, Wesley is on the phone with Buffy and/or Angel and some demons have a hold of him. The crew (who I think is in a car on the way to help him) hear what he's saying to the demons. He's taunting them to buy time for some reason.

Second, AU Angel loses his version of Wesley, so he goes to another demension to get another one. He finds canon Wesley while he's on the search for Angel in the ocean. Eventually, Wes goes back to AU Angel's world, and Canon Angel gets AU Wesley somehow. Also, I think in the alternate demension has Cordelia as a goddess.

Thanks for your help! Keep Wes-fic alive!!

 I'm looking for Lindsey/Wesley fiction -I'm afraid I've read all of it. :(  Can anyone suggest whatever they can find? I don't mind reading the same thing twice.

I got such great responses last time I thought I would try here again. A long time ago I read a fic where Wesley was Conner and I can't remember who wrote it or what the title was I would appreciate any help I can get. The story I read was not Present Imperfect by Eloise Bright. This is a great story and I enjoyed it quite a lot but it is not the one I am looking for.

Thanks!

I just finished reading elgrey's stories and I was wandering if anyone knows of any other fics out there that involve other buffy or angel characters confronting wesley's childhood because her stories were just awesome but I find myself hungry for more stories around this theme.

I found this fic quite a long time ago and I've been looking for it like mad, but I can't seem to find it.
( SPOILER WARNING! This is a pretty detailed description of the fic, so if you don't want to risk spoiling it for yourself, don't click. )

I was wondering if anyone had any good recs for the pairing of Wes/Xander. Not a usual combination I know, but there's got to be *some* stories out there, right? I'd surely appreciate any help...thanks!

Recc for the Post-NFA fic prompt? request? thingy?

Pairing/Characters: Giles/Wesley, Angel/Spike
Author on LJ: beadtific and lostgirlslair
Author's website: n/a
Setting: post NFA
Warnings: WIP
Why this must be read:

I really love the long set up between Wes and Giles here. It's very plotty, and the UST is just killing me! There are reasons for the delay, and it works!
Unfortunately, updates are at irregular intervals, but the first section is complete. It's one of the stories I go back to every few months and enjoy all over again.

Let's start the new year with resurrection! Rec your favorite post-Not Fade Away Wes fics. Never died, resurrected by Wolfram and Hart, AU, vamped, saved at the last minute... let's see the stories that let Wesley's story continue.

Can anyone rec me some satisfyingly-long Wes-centric hurt/comfort fic? Any pairing, any rating; I don't care, as long as it's long and there is angst followed by comfort.

Title and Author: Two Words by Sisabet
Summary: A tribute to five years of Angel
Pairing or Characters: The whole gang
Author on LJ: sisabet
Author's website: sisabet.com
Setting: All five years
Warnings: None

Why this must be read:

Best. Vid. Ever.

Sisabet finds everything you ever loved about this show and somehow manages to cram it into a vid. She does it with a wonderful sense of timing and pacing. The quality is excellent and the music was a great choice. This vid leaves me gaping at the black screen at the end, and then scrambling for the replay button. Go watch, you won't regret it.

(and then watch the rest of her vids)

It's been a little quiet, so I thought I'd throw a couple more recs out. I'm sure everyone's read this one, but it's still one of my favs.

Title and Author: Comfortable by Shrift
Summary: How unobservant can two people be?
Pairing or Characters: Wes/Gunn, assorted members of the gang also make appearance.
Author on LJ: Not known
Author's website: Shrift's fan fiction
Setting: S3, spoilers through "Birthday" and "Provider"
Warnings: NC-17 for slash of the Wes/Gunn kind, violence and bad language.

Why this must be read:

If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm terrible at this part. Umm. Let's see...

This was the fic that single-handedly started me on the Wes/Gunn ship. Shrift fits them together so well and they're just so right for each other (even if they don't know it).

The characterization's spot on, the pacing's great, and I just love, love the Gunn and Wesley camaraderie.

Check out the other Wes/Gunn fics as well. They're just as good.

Title/Author: Running for Our Lives by Syn (rated R on the site, but there's a chapter that might be pushing NC-17 or MA)

Pairing/Characters: Wesley/Faith with a little Angel/Cordelia and Gunn/Fred
Author on LJ:  verucawerewolf
Author's website: http://scream-ecstasy.sinfree.net/bip/
Setting:  After season three "Sleep Tight", then AU.
Warnings: Sexual situations, violence
Why this must be read: This is one of the first and best fanfics that I ever read with the Wes/Faith pairing.  It's an action-packed, full-of-surprises story that will have you up until all hours to finish it.  Syn has absolutely wonderful characterizations of Wesley and Faith.  She also brings the story alive with a good, tight plot and some great twists and turns. 

Summary/Description:  Wesley is seeking redemption after stealing Connor and losing him to Holtz.  Faith is let out of prison and the Watchers' Council decides that they want a new slayer.  This story is about how Wesley and Faith run for their lives as assassins are hot on their tails.  The two travel to the desert, through Las Vegas and back again to LA elude the assassins.  They realize along the way that they have some kind of connection, drawing them closer and closer together the more time they spend together.  If you like action-packed stories with a great plot, this is it.  I know some of you probably have already read this because it's been out there for a while, but it's really worth a re-read.  It's won several awards.  The author mainly writes for the Harry Potter fandom now, but she has a great list of Angel and Btvs fics on her website.  Check them out.  One of my favorite authors writing Wesley/Faith.

Archived at: The Last Time
Setting: Post-S1

Why this must be read:

It's a short story that makes you all warm and fuzzy inside, especially when you get to the last line. Any description I give can't really do it justice, but it's definitely worth the read.

Angel & Demons, by Firerose

Pairing/Characters: Wesley, Cordelia, Gunn, some Smallville cast
Author on LJ: espresso_addict
Author's website: http://www.viragene.com/firerose.htm
Setting: Season 3 post-'Birthday'
Warnings: Uh, Smallville?
Why this must be read:

This is a great actiony crossover (with Smallville, which I have seen about half an episode of, so don't let that put you off), featuring mainly Wes and Cordy. I think it may well have the most beautiful, subtle characterisation of Wesley I've seen.
