Ah, I have no rantiness. In fact, I think I'm past my anger and have now moved on to let the fandom frustrations simmer to a roiling boil again.
Cause fandom's for fun, after all!
As I've been wandering through fanfic, I've come across some...very odd pairings. And, as always, I must share the joy with you guys! Now, these aren't just weird pairings like, say, Jonathan/Larry or something. No, I'm talking pairings that will make you do a bit of a double-take. It's fun!
Let it be noted, though, that I caught these as they were going on my 'to-read' list. This means I have not read them. So these aren't exactly 'recs'. More like 'look how awesome/weird/insane our fandom is'!
5. The Carpenter and the Wood by JustHuman - Xander/Mr. Pointy
4. Strange Little Girl by Patricia - Dawn/Wesley, Dawn/Lindsey, Eve/Dawn
3. Redneckin' by Mydeira - Cordelia/Lyle Gorch
2. Going Towards Yes by K.V. Wylie - Giles/Ira Rosenberg

And yes. I am very curious about that last one.
As a bonus, here's something that is a rec. If you squint, it could be Drusilla/Andrew, too. But it's just a fun little ficlet. Read it!

That has to be crack!fic, right?
Xander/Mr. Pointy
I'm scared... *winces*
Cordelia/Lyle Gorch
I think they did exchange some dialogue in 'Homecoming'. I find it much easier to believe ships when the characters have exchanged dialogue. *nods*
If it isn't, I'll eat Willow's hat.

Yep. Same here. I have some other odd couples that never have exchanged dialogue, but Cordy/Lyle was just so random...I had to add it to the list.
I'm going to read that Dawn one right now... *shifty eyes*
It's strange, but I've actually seen a decent number of Dawn/Wesley fics. Dawn/Lindsey and Dawn/Eve, though, were different.
*has to go wash eyes*
Apologies?
Every few paragraphs, I burst into fits of giggles and had to stop reading until I calmed down...
That was EPIC crack.
Now if it were Willow's mother, it would have been interesting.
Did you find Xander/Snyder? I've read three fics years ago. The pairing doesn't surprise me as the number of fics does. And from three different authors. Guess they had a bet or something.
De Sade would be proud. *runs to wash my browser history with bleach*
