The Older Woman, by doyle (PG-13)

Fandom: BUFFY
Pairing: Joyce/Anya
Author on livejournal: [livejournal.com profile] doyle_sb4
Author's Website: Exit Seraphim

Why this must be read:

Anya isn't the vivacious twenty-year-old that she seems to be, and Joyce knows it. This is, perhaps, an odd pairing, unconventional, but through Joyce's point of view, Doyle shows both possible relationships between these two: with Joyce as the mother figure, advising Anya about her relationship with Xander, but also with Anya as the wise one, who's seen it all. The set up is sweet, and the payoff is well earned. The story is short, but a great view of both Joyce and Anya in early season four.

Nice choice...good to see two great characters who don't seem to get enough quality fic-time.

Incidentally, I think the author is [livejournal.com profile] doyle_sb4.
