The Adventure of the Displaced Watcher by antennapedia. "An accident with a magical artifact sends Giles into the past. Can the specialist in hopeless cases help him before the artifact is lost and he is forever stranded?" Delightful story of Giles during Buffy S5 enlisting England's only consulting detective in the hunt, told in the form of both Watson's and his watcher's diary.
Do Nothing; But Trust Your Bird To Fly by Chibihaku. "When Arthur was eight, he met a boy with golden eyes and a penchant for mischief. When he was fourteen, he met a man with a bird on his arm, and a tattoo on his thigh. When he was twenty, he watched Merlin make a whirlwind and lie about it." I really loved the central metaphor of this story and getting a glimpse into Arthur's childhood and adolescence. I also liked the compromise of the ending, which seemed to me a particularly likely outcome had this happened in canon.
Serenity, Nevada by ChristinaK. "Oz's summer road trip takes him to a sleepy little town in Nevada- one that just woke up with a big new problem, and the local sheriff and citizens may have to face a reality they never expected before the closing credits." Flawless crossover with Firefly, whose characters have been transposed to a western town in postseries Buffy's timeline.
Someday by seekingferret. "If we're gonna make it, things are gonna have to change." MCU vid with serious 2020 energy. State violence, the penal system, natural and unnatural disasters, political corruption, and all the everyday people.
Tempt My Trouble by AurumCalendula. "'We're not friends/ And we're not lovers/ We're just trouble'" Wow, great song for Eve and Oksana but also just a wonderful capsule of what makes Killing Eve sing.
