A note on font size: because most modern browsers allow you to adjust font-size to your liking, I have tried to stick to a simple layout, and a consistent font. Personally, I prefer my font size to be quite a bit larger than is standard, but I realize that not everyone feels this way. So I'm setting the font at a standard size which every individual viewer can adjust to their liking. Disclaimer: The Stories linked to below are not my own work, unless otherwise stated.

Avengers, TheWhen The Lights Go On Again by seanchai & elspethdixon NEW! Buffy The Vampire SlayerAfter the Fall by Josie_h NC17; Spike/Xander, OMC/OMC; Torture, Attempted Genocide, MPREG, Mentions of Rape & Murder, Character Death; It's a black day when humankind turns on the non humans. Survival can be as simple as a commitment to each other. I highly recommend this story, it is touching and bittersweet, with an appropriately happy ending. The apocalyptic event is more along the lines of an attempted world wide "racial cleansing" of "non-humans" by humans, but since it effects such a large number of people in such a lasting way, I think it fits into the theme of this list.
