Author Website: nostalgia for an age yet to come
Why this must be read: The basic mythos of the Buffyverse -- Into every generation a slayer is born -- means there's a lot of possibility for historical or original characters who still connect to the underlying concepts of the show. (History Lesson is an entire archive dedicated to pre-Buffy slayers.)
Dig For Victory is the story of a slayer living in London during the Blitz. Apart from the history nerd coolness of that, what makes this story great is that it gets the central juxtaposition that made Buffy work so well: how do you handle fighting monsters alongside everyday life? How do you put the mystical into a larger context? The fic is short but a solidly good read, with vivid, well-drawn characters.
