FANDOM: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
FIC LINK: Sisters in Light
AUTHOR LINK: LittleRaven
RATING/WARNING(S): G
WIP?/WORD COUNT: complete, 1120 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Kendra Young, Sineya

FIC SUMMARY: Life, death, and life again. Three looks at the Slayer.

RECCER'S NOTES: A wonderfully imaginative world building fic (I received as a part of the worldbuildingex exchange), full of old myths explaining the origins of the Slayers. It's also a fascinating looks into Kendra's mind and the way analyzes and interacts with what she reads and learns about being a Slayer.

RATING/WARNING(S): T
WIP?/WORD COUNT: complete, 3190 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: River Tam, Buffy Summers

FIC SUMMARY: In her dreams, there was an angel, like in legends from Earth-that-Was, with blonde hair and a kind smile, and River knew that this angel meant her well; that she was here to protect her; that she was River’s sister.

RECCER'S NOTES: The entire idea of this story is such a fantastic way to make this crossover work - there are some brilliant reveals that I'm not going to spoil. It's a relatively dark fic (it deals with River's past abuse and current trauma) but ultimately it's full of hope. I love how elements from both canons and all the characters ring 100% true, which means that it can go from poignant to humorous and back again, often in the same paragraph, just like the source material does. Other than the central, touching relationship between Buffy and River, my favorite part of this story are quips between Buffy and Mal.

It's another exchange gift I got, this time at x_ship. :)
