Remix! Buffy + Smallville
Buffy
Not Fade Away (Key of Life Remix) by Lar
Harsh, bittersweet Dawn/Faith with a really good Dawn voice. I liked it a lot.
A Few Things Anya Knows (The Billy Pilgrim Remix) by Hepcat
First off, I’m so jealous of the clever Remix title. I wish I’d come up with it. *g* Secondly, what a gorgeous story of how Anya deals with change, with life, with love and with death. A celebration of life in the face of death, and yes, sometimes beautiful does mean red, wrinkled and squalling. I like the structure, the way the story, like Billy Pilgrim, is unstuck in time, moving back and forth between now, then, and later. Jossed by Chosen, of course, but still, a beautiful story of love and hope.
Keeping in Touch (the Two Times Two Remix) by Sängerin
Another post-series AU, this one positing Giles and Xander as the only survivors, it tracks Giles’ path through the new Watchers’ Council hierarchy and through him we follow Xander’s progress around the world, until they meet again. Understated, poignant and nicely in character.

Buffy/Smallville
An Englishman In Smallville (The Legal Alien Extended Remix) by RivkaT
I almost didn’t rec this because of the dismissive and denigrating attitude toward Xander (sub-par? sub-normal? WTF? Even if the author thinks that, there’s no way Giles does), but it is a fun romp through two worlds that really don’t go together, except they sort of do, if pseudo-small-town weirdness is a measure. The Lex-Willow and Buffy-Clark interactions are priceless and I just love Lex taking it all in, accepting demons and witches with his usual curiosity and aplomb.
