Welcome to The Human Condition, home of all the excellent Buffyverse human AU fic you can shake a stick at.
Though why you’re shaking a stick at us, I don’t know. It’s very rude. And dangerous. You’ll poke someone’s eye out.
We're so excited to be opening! We tried really hard to get the archive up to a decent size before we launched, and more will be coming soon! We have our eye on a lot of great fic, but we hope you enjoy the first wave.
All of the fics you’ll find here are wildly AU from canon, though you’ll find recognizable characters and familiar scenarios. Here, our boys (and girls) leave the world of vampires and become federal agents or hookers, soldiers or dancers or teens or high-powered execs.
Or just normal, lonely people.
No matter who they are, they’re breathing new life into our characters and our canon. It’s a testament to the possibilities created by the genre that we’re opening a new fic archive more than a decade after the series began.
A decent portion of the fic you’ll find here can get dark and disturbing. Some of it is downright human horror. Watch your step and read your warnings. There’s a great deal of strong adult content. If you’re under the age of consent, kindly fuck off elsewhere, thanks!
