Fic Recc: The Gentle Cycle by Insomnitic
Author: Ins
Fandom: BTVS
Pairing: Anya/Xander
Author on LJ: LJ says it's deleted.
Author Website: Also seems to be gone.
Why this must be read:
From what I've seen of reccs lists and award sites, most of the fic that gets lauded the loudest in most fandoms is long and involved, brain candy that last a long time and brings porn. What I really loved about reading BTVS/ATS fic as the series developed was that authors often slipped right into the heads of the characters and wrote these tiny stories where they drew back the mental shutters and showed a fragment of what the characters were thinking. More often than not, these were episode-based, and pretty rapidly what they were showing us got Jossed or lost in the shuffle. This is a fic like that. This is a possible Anya that never really came to pass, but she was dead on at the time.
