Poll#4: Crack AU

[lettered]

I have meta on canon-based fic, AU, and crack; then I have kind of fun crack thoughts; then I have crazy crack ideas.

I seriously needed an option for:

Angel is an independantly wealthy, but still phenomenally successful business man . . . . . who owns an art gallery

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

sadly true. or, is also an artist who is about to have a major show at the Summers gallery.

Hahahaha, yes.

*hugs the crazy crazy AUs, which I love. No lie*

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Dude, totally forgot about that one.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Who is also a stripper in his spare time.

[i-palimpsest.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm I might even read that one!

Re: <-- awww.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

He does, Oh, he does.

Sometimes she uses him like facial cream.

Hooker Buffy is much more likely to smell like cream of cum than vanilla, is all I'm saying.

Oo, love your icon.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Were you serious about Angel the drug addict?

Because I totally know of one.

[43100.livejournal.com]

LOL! I was!

Mainline, by incasink

It's A/S, both A and S are recovering addicts. To me, this was like a story about two original characters, but parts of it were hot.

[43100.livejournal.com]

I've always thought most AUs were basically original characters, but hey. The only AU I could really get into was Angel/Xander, and I think that was because it resembled a harlequin romance novel quite a lot... *NoLife*

Thanks for the link, I need something to read during a cold. ;.;

[tkp.livejournal.com]

This is like a harlequin romance without all the trim. That is, pretense at plot and pesky taboos don't get in the way. I enjoyed reading it.

Hope you feel better!

[tkp.livejournal.com]

It would be a heady mix.

That Angel wishes they would bottle and sell.

Did az2mom write Human AU B/A or did I make that up?

Also, is there good B/A AU (Oh, god, call me now and hear how that sounds when I say it) and where would I find links if I'm curious? Yellow.

There was going to be a poll question about how you pronounce that; I forgot.

A2z hasn't, but chrisleeoctaves has: Past Imperfect. I prefer Chris's non AU stories more, though this is a fun read.

My favorite B/A all human AU is alleynyc's fic Road To Nowhere. I think quite a few of the things the Angel character in that fic goes through are things that I love about Angel in the series. It's not my favorite story for the portrayal of Spike, though.

My favorite B/A AU of all time, however, isn't all human, but rather one of those kinda alternate realities in which Buffy's still a Slayer and Angel a vamp, but everything else is different: Domestication, by indie. This is the kind of crack you call crack because you can't stop reading it and want it injected into you with a needle. Or at least I did when I read it--it was when I was first getting into B/A. But from what I remember of it I highly recommend it to anyone looking for compulsively readable B/A AU.

There are more--I can shell out Angel the babysitter or Buffy the hooker if you want, but these are the bestest, imo.
