''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/25403656/chapters/61605172 Inside Man]]'' by HollyDB
* Recommended by: Tiggerific
* ''Pairing'': Buffy/Spike
* ''Synopsis'': Spike had this perfect memory of them together—her holding his hand, looking at him with tears in her eyes, telling him she loved him. If a man had to die, that was the way to do it. But in their world, the dead don’t stay dead. Completely canon-compliant retelling of Season 5, beginning with "Harm’s Way".
* ''Comments'': Spike-centric with strong ties to [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer its sister show]]. Does not pulls its punches when criticizing Angel's flaws and many stupid decisions - but the two leads are given similar treatment, which is refreshing. Contains sexual content.

Proof that [[SturgeonsLaw the remaining 10% is worth a century of atonement for]] here.

These are recommendations made by tropers for ''Series/{{Angel}}'' fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. After a few samples, you will be able to note the interests of the tropers recommending them, and judge whether you might be also interested in a certain 'fic.

Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found [[FanficRecommendations here]][[note]]a copy of the template is just below[[/note]]. Do warn when a fanfic may head into sexual[[note]]please note this includes all sexual activity, not just homosexual or bisexual, including het.[[/note]] or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

Reviews of fics are encouraged, but if you choose to write one, please make it substantive, and give specific details about what you liked / disliked in the fic. If you want to give a fic a thumbs-up without writing a full review, you can add your troper handle to the Recommendations Line. Please refrain from posting "Comments" or Administrivia/ConversationInTheMainPage though; that goes in the discussion page.

For ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' fanfics, see [[FanficRecs/BuffyTheVampireSlayer this page]].

[[folder:Recommendations Template]]
Title of the Fanfic by Author OR Fic Trope Page, by Author (Link)
* Recommended by: Troper Name
* ''Synopsis:'' What's the story about? Give here a brief summary of the plot. It would be also useful to point out in what moment of the series the story takes place. If it's a Gen Fic but it has some romantic elements, note here the characters involved too.
* ''Pairing(s):'' If it's a Shipping Fic, list here the pairings that feature in the fic (warn here if it's het, male slash or female slash). If it's a Gen Fic, remove this line. To tell the difference between the two, notice if the focus of the fic is on a romantic relationship or if it focuses on the other aspects of the story. In case of doubt, classify the story according to the genres it's been tagged: the Romance tag for Shipping, absence of that tag for Gen Fic.
* ''Tags:'' If any are known. This would be things like {{WAFF}}, {{Lemon}}, DarkFic, any known {{Crossover}}s etc.

''Angel: No Limits''
* Recommended by @/MonSolo
* Set after Angel season 5, with enough material to constitute an entire season 6. Each story is the equivalent of one episode. The stories are brilliantly written, with all of the characters spot-on. Alternates between funny, heart-wrenching, tense, and occasionally sexy. There are some mild slashy vibes (mostly Angel/Spike and Angel/Wes) but nothing explicit. Written several years before the s6 comics were released, so would be considered an alternate continuity.

''FanFic/TheNyazianProphecies''
* Recommended by Tropers/AmyJade
* A ''Buffy''/''Angel'' spin-off virtual series featuring Connor as he deals with his memories of being in Quor'toth and becomes a "boy-slayer," and Andrew as his Watcher. Great writing, great original characters and character development of the existing characters, and some very interesting developments of the ''Buffy'' mythology. Unfortunately won't be completed, but the creator has written out an outline of the movies that would have followed the series.
