Summary
Although Angel and Wesley both are in the business of saving people, particularly once they join forces in AtS, there are two cases that stand out for each of them for very personal reasons: Faith and Connor. In these cases the distinctly different approaches that guide Angel and Wes can be seen.

Summary
Spoilers for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Merlin, Killing Eve and Avengers.
Although the EtL story type is highly popular, I think there are ways in which it works more deeply or successfully. What counts as "success" though is the crux of the story, as well as whether the characters are truly enemies.

Bookmarker's Notes
Open-Mouthed into the Ocean by stymphalides. "Years after Merlin and Morgana fled Camelot together, they receive a surprise visitor who promises change." A play in one act in a single room, wonderfully paced and which earns its slow and not entirely certain resolution.

But Now, I know by IgnatiousTheWarlock

I've seen a number of time travel fics featuring either Merlin or Arthur but this is the first I can remember seeing using Morgana. An inventive plot and it was great to see how things did (and didn't) work out.

[Vid] St. Elmo's Fire
lilly_the_kidSuch a good recruiter vid for Cobra Kai, and I laughed when Eagle Fang made its appearance. Also such a powerful moment in that line I'd forgotten about: "You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man."

Summary
In a black-and-white television show with a ridiculously small audience, Merlin reunites with his fiancé Arthur Pendragon in the 1950s.
This is completely normal, and has nothing to do with how long Merlin has had to wait for the Once and Future King to return.

Summary
Darcy cringes. “Souvenir from Clint and Natasha’s mission. Apparently it fell out of the sky in Bucharest,” she says, peering through the glass at the creature. “Don’t worry, they’re pretty sure it’s dead.”
Turning back to look at Steve, she yawns a bit, not bothering to hide her gaping mouth behind a hand, which makes him smile a bit for the first time today. “You know, I asked Clint to bring me back something, but I was thinking more like a keychain or booze from the duty free section of the airport.”

when you wake by sevenfoxes
Time loops are a favorite trope for me, which means I particularly appreciate it when someone does something different with it. Extended ones are a variation for longer stories but I had yet to run into one where the resets might occur at different points in time instead of the same one, and it's fascinating to discover why that might happen. It made the story more of a roads-not-traveled sort of tale than one about correcting particular mistakes. And I loved the ending.
