Moderator, I was wondering if maybe you could "stick" this thread at the top of Pens, it would be great. But it's cool if you don't. :D
Now, for the recommendations (hope I do a good job):D

Mission Statement by Bagheera is a must read. It takes place after season six, but it really is great. The writing style is great, very smooth and easy to read. It contains angst, cliffhangers, Love, smut, Miss Kitty and a whole lot of other things. It's a dark story though, but it's worth it. The ending will blow you away. It simply rocks!:D

Gods Served and Abandoned by Antigone Unbound is another one of my faves. It takes place after the episode "Family" and it mentions some big bads. Basically, Tara's past is shattered when her family's secrets are finally revealed to her. Mary does a great job at writing the pain that the characters are feeling. It's angsty, really angsty, but it has a lot of great moments, some smut which is delightfully written. I just keep reading it over and over. She updates regularly, and that's always a big plus. :D

W/T Season 3 Y'all by JustSkipIt is yet another one of my faves (I have a whole lotta faves). It's AU, kinda. Willow is sent to Texas in season 3 and she meets Tara. Love blooms between them. It's a sweet story. Minimal angst and great smut. Tara's family is nice in this one, and that changes things a bit. But in a very good way. It's pretty much a fun story that will make your heart melt. Other works by Debra are:
Paths Diverged/Divulged (Y'all's sequel) which is pretty angsty at first and just starting and
Turned which is also pretty dark. I recommend them all, but if I start about them, I'll never stop. :)

Red Ace is a total AU story. It's a Film Noir Style fic where Willow, or Red is a Private Eye. The whole fic rocks. The style of the writing is as always great, the vocabulary is dead on, the story kicks ass. The smut is droolworthy as always and well, just try it, and you'll get hooked!
I hope I did a good job and I think that's enough for now. But I will be back. :D
