How She Dies by inlovewithnight (PG)

Hey, I'm [livejournal.com profile] destinylight and I'll be reccing Angel fics for you this month. :D I definitely have an Angel/Spike bias, but I'll try my best to rec a whole variety of fics.

Fandom: ANGEL
Pairing: Ensemble, Fred-centric
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] inlovewithnight
Author Website: Exaggeration and Blank Verse
Why this must be read:
So, I know that everybody and their mother in the Jossverse fandom has recced [livejournal.com profile] inlovewithnight at least once. There's a good reason for that of course, and I'm shocked that How She Dies hasn't been recced yet. This lovely piece is a favorite of mine, because it's nothing short of brilliant. Five drabbles of how Fred should've died, and each of them offer this amazing amazing insight, not only into Fred, but the rest of the Angel-cast. All of them were absolutely heartbreaking, and really, I can't do justice to this piece at all.

You'll just have to trust me when I say this is one of the best-written pieces you'll come across in any fandom. Her images and her scenarios are gorgeous, but more than that, it's the words she chooses to convey the images and the emotions. She strings words together perfectly, precisely and each one has an impact upon the reader.
