The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Saturday, December 2nd
BUFFY: Now gimme, gimme, gimme! (Tara hands her a gift. Buffy begins ripping off the paper.)
ANYA: This is extremely suspenseful! I want the presents.
Buffy pulls out a dress.
BUFFY: Ohh ... it's beautiful. Thank you, guys.
TARA: Well, we thought you'd get lots of crossbows, other killer stuff.
WILLOW: Yeah, so we figured, less killy, more frilly.
ANYA: Gotta look. (Grabs the dress from Buffy) Oh, it's just so lovely! Oh, I wish it was mine!
Everyone gives her a look.
ANYA: (quietly) Oh, like you weren't all thinking the same thing. (puts the dress down)
GILES: I'm fairly certain I wasn't. (whispers to Xander) I've got one just like it.

IWRY Fic Marathon 2023: November Roundup
See our previous roundup for fanworks posted from November 1-15.
Day 16: I Know Those Eyes/This Man Is Dead by Greensword101 Summary: Him. It was him. Buffy knew it in her heart. Angel standing in the shop, browsing aisles. In broad daylight. When he looked up, his eyes widened a fraction before ducking down again. But Buffy knew those eyes anywhere. They were always with her on nights that she was forced to relive thrusting that sword into his chest.
But why did he pretend not to know who she was? (Rated G. 1,533 words)
Day 17: Of Prophecies and True Love’s Kiss by UltramarineOrchid (@ultramarineorchid)
Summary: Buffy’s no damsel but just this once Angel might be.
-or- The kind-of-sort-of Sleeping Beauty retelling no one asked for. (Rated G. 2,050 words)
Day 18: The Red Gate by bluestarsandclouds (@bluestarsandclouds)
Summary: All the times Buffy and Angel met up at the place in the middle. (Rated G. 3,185 words)
Day 19: Overexcited by AmorousGreen (@calenlily)
Summary: The first time Buffy takes him in her hand, he pops a knot without meaning to.
It’s a loss of control every bit as shameful as the demon coming forward the first time they’d kissed. He’s two hundred years old and he’s always prided himself on his discipline, he shouldn’t be embarrassing himself like an overeager schoolboy.
(Pre-Surprise in an Omegaverse AU.) (Rated E. 1,223 words)
Day 20: Angelus's Mercy: Part Two by MCorey1317
Summary: Buffy can't seem to stop finding herself in these predicaments ... (Rated E. 7,804 words)
Day 21: Being Known by Kean (@keanherself)
Summary: Buffy sees Angel on the cover of Snooped and a late night phonecall ensues. Set during the summer between S4 & S5 of Buffy and S1 & S2 of Angel. (Rated T. 3,392 words)
Day 22: Not Like Before by buffytargaryen (@buffy-targaryen)
Summary: Angel offers to help Buffy with her Homecoming pictures. Pining ensues. (Rated G. 1,622 words)
Day 23: I Can't Remember by MeTheMermaid (@casenpoint)
Summary: A week after The Hyperion burns to the ground, Angel shows up on Buffy's doorstep. With a heartbeat. If this is Buffy's greatest fantasy finally come true, why can't she shake the feeling that this is a bad thing? Buffy will have to decide if she can overcome their complicated past for the sake of their future. (Rated E. 6,986 words)
Day 24: Side Mission by Taaroko (@taaroko)
Summary: Angel invites Buffy for a romantic evening of clearing demons of indeterminate origin out of a cave on the beach. Or, what I like to imagine would've happened if Angel had made an appearance in "The Puppet Show." (Rated T. 3,162 words)
Day 25: The Chosen Princess and the Shadow Knight by KairosImprimatur (@kairosimperative)
Summary: Gather 'round to hear the tale of Summer's Princess, who set out from the land of Solandale to seek her destiny, to vanquish the Dark Master, and mayhapse to find her one true love and break the curse upon him. (Not rated. 2,362 words)
Day 26: the girl and the ash by claddaghrings (@bangelism)
Summary: there is no cure. (Rated T. 2,152 words)
Day 27: Our Little Family by twinkielove6
Summary: Buffy is having trouble dealing with her emotions after coming back from the dead. She needs to get out of Sunnydale and away from her friends for a little while, so she turns to the only person she needs right now. Angel. Angel has a newborn, Connor, who quickly becomes Buffy's son as well. Angel's soul has been made permanent and the pair live out their little fairytale. (Rated G. 2,294 words)
Day 28: Can It Be Right to Give What I Can Give? by asoulofstars & blackdragonhellfire (@asoulofstars)
Summary: By the time we see Buffy and Angel in "What's My Line?", they are a SOLID couple. They're happy and seem to be on the same page. So, how did they get there? Well, Eyghon prompted some emotions on both ends that needed to be addressed, and it gives them a chance to get past all of their overdramatics.
Canon compliant missing scene between "The Dark Ages" and "What's My Line? (Part 1)". (Rated T. 1,445 words)
Day 29: An Aspect Of by GraceNM
Summary: Just because Buffy’s looking in a mirror doesn’t mean she’s getting a true reflection. Angel tells her what he sees, and the effect she has on him. Post-Earshot. (Rated M. 2,314 words)
Day 30: Six Times Angel Lost Buffy And One Time He Didn't by aboutafox (@aboutafox)
Summary: There are things you don't get used to. There are cycles you don't break. Until you do. (Rated T. 3,387 words)
