Imposters in This Country by Minim Calibre (R)

[marenfic.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm Maren and I'm excited to be driving BtVS this month. I'm a lover of all things Buffy (the character), and enjoy fics that explore Buffy's interactions with others, particularly unconventional pairings. The recs I have planned for this month will predominantly feature Buffy in UC pairings/situations, with one or two conventional or gen pieces thrown in. I hope you find something that you enjoy.


Fandom: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Pairing: Buffy/Wesley
Author on LJ: minim_calibre
Author Website: Recalibration
Why this must be read:

In this fic, Minim makes one change in Becoming Part II canon and then explores the impact on Buffy and her new Watcher, Wesley on an extended road trip. The Buffy in Imposters is hardened, a little cold, and lot weary-- much more Wishverse even though it isn't set in the Wishverse. The Wesley starts young, raw, and uptight and the beauty of this fic is the way that Minim shows him changing, organically, as a result of the time he spends with Buffy.

What's to love? Road trip, great evolving characterization based on tightly described interactions, and yes, illicit sex. This is my favorite Buffy/Wesley fic in a field of really well-done fic.

Glad you recced this one! The part 2 of this story is one of my all time favorites, even though I don't care much for the first part, and i'd mis-placed it quite some time ago!
