Escape by Moonloon (PG-13)

Fandom: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Pairing: Warren/Ethan Rayne
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] maryavatar
Author Website: Amused and Abused
Why this must be read:

Firstly, because the pairing Warren/Ethan is so unusual as to be essential. ;) Written in answer to a challenge at the Warren Ficathon (which I encourage everyone to explore - there are some great fics there that I won't have a chance to rec), this fic answers extremely well the challenge: Warren/Ethan, darkfic. A fic that opens in hell and continues in a magical prison is certain to fulfill the dark aspect of the challenge, and the Warren/Ethan is extremely amusing, chiefly due to Moonloon's skill in capturing Ethan's sly, seductive voice so very accurately. There is also a lot of nudity, and who can resist a naked Warren?

If only mathematics or engineering had been a religion, Warren pondered. He could have coped with an eternity of being battered with faulty hypotheses and metal fatigue statistics. No, he had to get the fire and brimstone version of the afterlife. If only he'd known, he'd have converted to something that wasn't quite so hard on... well, everything.

Reincarnation might have been okay. Life as a flatworm had to be better than fire, fire, fire and on Sunday, just for a change, fire. Funny how something so agonisingly painful could eventually become boring. Actually, it wasn't funny, it was probably supposed to be boring: a little bonus torment. Oh joy.

Even so, he still felt a stab of terror when he felt himself suddenly tugged away from the flames. They'd found something worse?

Landing naked and singed on cold concrete was a surprise. Apart from a bruised elbow it hadn't hurt much at all. In fact, feeling cold was positively orgasmic. He spread himself face down on the concrete, trying to get as much of his body pressed into the floor as possible.

"Mmmm, I don't normally like hairy boys, but that's very tempting."
