The Fandom Snowflake Challenge, Day 1

I heard about the Fandom Snowflake Challenge from velvetwhip
Day 1

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Drop a link to your post in the comments.

I went through my stories and decided I like these the best:

• Blessed Are Those Who Mourn (Leverage): What if ruining Ian Blackpoole didn't help Nate?
  
• The Wind Singing Through the Branches (BtVS): Drusilla decorates her Christmas tree.
  
• Their Fourth Attempt at a First Date (Firefly): was written for a comment_fic prompt: Simon/Kaylee, their first real date.
  
• The Present is pure smut (BtVS), but I love the ending. Ash said she wanted a present; I knew what kind of toys she'd prefer.
  

Fandom Snowflake Challenge 2

It's Day 2 of the Snowflake Challenge:

Day 2

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Drop a link to your post in the comments. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom and maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.

So here are some of my favorite stories:

• Mr. Spike: (BtVS) Spike has a place he goes to do something nobody would expect of him. It started when he had the chip. He doesn’t know why he’s still goes because it hurts sometimes, but Mr Spike is the one who does good because it’s good and not for any other reason. Note: Warning, it's terribly sad.
   
• Sleeper: (BtVS) Xander Harris never thought he’d end up in a place like this, and certainly not with Faith. When the past comes crashing back into his life, what future will he have left? Note: This is my absolutely favorite fanfic.
   
• Of Old Mystics: (BtVS) Giles and Ethan are at the center of a propehcy.
   
• December Bride: (Frosty the Snowman) The little girl in the red hat wants something different now that she's all grown up. Note: Warning, R-rated
