personally i'd prefer Xander centric but post whatever stories that people new (or old) to the series should read.

BTVS is a series that has a lot of crossovers. Are you looking for fics strictly in the Buffyverse, or fics with crossovers, or both?

Anything by Liz Marcs is worth reading even if you have to put up with a LiveJournal interface for a lot of it these days. Not as action-packed as many but holy shit can she write.

"I Am What I Am" by M McGregor is good, but long. Xander dresses up as himself for Halloween, and gains the memories of his entire life until his death as an old man. He then tries to change things for the better, but others resist those changes.

wives of Xander: cooky bride, or spooky girl by CrazyDan
http://www.tthfanfic.com/Story-11264/Crazy...spooky+girl.htm
Summary: A semi-interesting fic in which Xander, while on his road trip, has his car break down right in front of the Addams family mansion. It features a semi-OOC Wednesday Addams however it is interesting.

American Solder has also posted a Xander/Wednesday fic called Theory of Relativity. It has the same premise (That Xander's car breaks down out of the Addams mansion) however it takes place after Xander has returned to Sunnydale.
You can find it at www.fanfiction.net/~AmericanSoldier.
Note: American-Soldier has some interesting pure BtVS Xander Centric fics. Check them out. While far from the best writings in the fandom he at least has some interesting idea's.

An Unexpected Visitor, by dhampirkinfolk
A foreign girl drops in on Harry during a private moment. As I'm making this up as I go without an outline, not all warnings may apply. I'll try to adjust it as I go.
Harry Potter > Dawn-Centered ò dhampirkinfolk ò FR21 ò Chapters [3] ò Words [13,919] ò Recs [0] ò Reviews [24] ò Hits [1,661] ò Published [9 Apr 08] ò Updated [11 Jul 08] ò Completed [No]
The focus is on the plot, not the sex, but due to the rating, I'm posting a link to the author's profile, rather than directly to the fic. I wonder if the rating is only because of what Dawn wasn't wearing, and what Harry was doing, when Dawn arrived. Of course, they could do more in later chapers, not yet posted.

EDIT: Note the thing in the upper right-hand corner of the page. You have to set it to FR21 to see the fic.

I just read a funny oneshot, a sort of semi-fusion between Buffy and... well just read it. I don't want to give it away. :D

The Wonderland Subject By M-mcgregor.

So far, one of his better fic, registering into Epic levels along "I am what i am" and "See noir Evil".
i have serious beef with that story, and no respect for the author.
Everyone's entitled to an opinion. Even one this crazy and wrong. :crazy: :p

McGregor's technical skill is absolutely first rate. His characterization is especially good, specifically character voice and their relationships. He can establish drama. He's got good pacing. His fics are genuinely, laugh out loud funny.

Plus he's written some hot porn.


I guess you must have some character or pairing as an extreme dealbreaker, but even so. "I have no respect" seems out of line.

his writing skill is top notch but his bias is terrible and he doesnt even bother to do proper research.

he has ultimate captain america on the same level as buffy.


ultimate captain america.


when pointed out this was wrong with printed proof he ignored it and derided anyone who brought it up.

A new YAHF with xander getting a grey knight armor from WH40k. Look like a good story but could use fine tuning. Though seems like a one shot.

Oh wow. I was really hoping it wasn't this. Apparently that chapter really turned a few of the danker corners of the internet into rivers of fire. Mac did respond to a lot of this thoughtfully and explained his reasoning, not that he needed to, but here I guess I need to refer you to Clash of the Superwarriors! and rest my case. :rolleyes:

mac's reasoning was bullshit. almost every point he and his groupies brought up was solidly debunked and he got juvenile about it. i can accept cutting corners storywise and not getting the facts completly correct but when an authors bias gets in the way of the facts it pisses me off.

why the hell write a crossover if you arent going to bother to get the facts right and the crossovers sole purpose is basicly to show how much better one side is from the other.

raisin i'm telling you right now that half the people defending that blatant piece of bad judgement would be crying rivers of blood and screaming buffy bashing if the had malcolm from malcolm in the middle beating buffy in a fight, which is basicly what he did bringing ultimate cap down to buffy's level.

also i see that you've taken the stance that shit like that is acceptable. so we probably have nothing further to say.

I liked this one. However I read in a review that he was working on "the next part," so I guess it's going to be a series.

Wow.

While i can understand your reasoning, your "proof" is at best interpretation, and it's a constant in Mmcgregor fics that Slayers are slightly strongers than normal, and slightly more capable of evolution, which is *not* against canon at all.

It's one of these Grey Areas.

Now, that you use your opinion of what i consider a "grey area" or a "choice" of the author to say he deserves no respect is a tad harsh in my opinion, especially as his choice makes for a better stroy and characterisation.

Oh, and about the research thing? if you followed Mmcgregor a bit, you would know he is a hugge Marvel Fan, especially the first two ultimate.

Please, in crossover, you have to make choices, and this is one such. He made Buffy stronger. So what?

proof was on the printed page, was in the official stats and so on.

i know the slayers are strong but my problem is they have never been shown to be as strong as ultimate captain america is.

everyone has a point where suspension of belief doesnt cut it. there is a difference between captain america and ultimate captain america and ignoring the difference broke mine.

and i lost respect for him as a writer because right off the bat i caught he was nerfing one side on purpose

look you can go on defending it and justifying what went down, you can make me out to be the bad guy but the fact is he got it horribly wrong and did it on purpose because he decided not to let facts get in the way of his vision. and like i said before reverse the circumstances have buffy getting beaten by someone who we know is weaker and he and his buffy bias'd fans would be up in arms and rightly so at that. so why is it acceptable to do that to ultimate Captain America?

the thing is if there had been an in universe explaination for the descrepancy that popped up, sort of like the ultraverse/marvel power flux that happens when they cross universes i would have no problem with it.
