A question about a plot point from Buffy--I know! Something Buffy-ish!: Did Willow offer to try to use magic to cure Joyce or is that fanon? I don't have DVDs for that season, and I'm gearing up to take a run at Career Change again.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I don't recall anything like that, though there was fan speculation that Dawn's presence or the memory reshuffling to shoehorn her into the Summers family was the cause of Joyce's problems.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
IIRC, the aneurysm that killed Joyce was sudden and no one even knew it was there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She'd been in hospital, hadn't she? There had been some brain problem warning.

Yeah. Joyce went in for tests, they found a "shadow", operated to remove a tumor and she died from the aneurysm after she was on the road to recovery.

Yes! Now I remember.

It's entirely possible I watched too much Buffy on FX before work. It took them about two months to cycle through all the seasons and I watched those for a couple of years. Ummm.

Trust my rage
So, the end of White Collar has got me wanting to read fic. Anyone know any good fic/writers in this fandom? I so hate having new fic interests because you never know what you are getting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Sinead, who is "smallbeer" on LJ and DW both. movies_michelle on LJ has posted recs. Check the yuletide archive, because there are definitely some stories from this year, which I haven't had a chance to read yet.

I have a lot of the usual suspects--musesfool, shrift, etc. but also some other people.
