I'm going to weigh in with some old-timers since my favorite Buffy fics are in the bookmarks already, so here are my old favorites, both are NC-17 for m/m slash. What attracts me to both is not so much the boinking, as the characters & how well the stories are written.

"In A Dark Time" by A. Leigh-Anne Childe, (aka Anna S!!!)
http://www.drizzle.com/~eliade/
[When I went looking for a functional link to this fic didn't know these two authors were one & the same. I've been reading Anna S' Buffy Season Noir & was blown away to learn she was Childe. Whee!]
X-Files fic: Mulder/Krycek slash set during the episode Sleepless. Even if you've never seen the episode you don't need to because the author goes to such length to make sure the reader knows what's going on. Explores a lot of character depth & interaction (seriously NOT PWP), set right before Scully's abduction. Mulder & Scully friendship. Amazingly hot, rather kinky m/m sex. Lengthy story & harsh in places, but that's my preference anyway.

1st runner up:
Dorothy Marley's "Rebound"
http://dmarley.mattachine.com/
Crossover between X-Files and Law&Order. Mulder/Ben Stone slash. I approached this one with caution because I'd never figured Ben Stone in this kind of role, but wound up loving this fic. Two lonely & intelligent men rebounding together - what's not to love? Tender and rather believably in character if you can accept Ben is gay & Mulder is bi.

I read nothing but BtVS and the odd AtS now and again, frankly I'm not too enamoured with any other television shows so my favorite will obviously fall under the Buffy category.

There are *so many* but I have to say the one that has really stuck with me is Annie Sewell-Jennings The Last Summer, there were a couple references here and there that I'm too keen on but I absolutely love that fic. I love it for its grittiness, darkness, nuclear holcaust, and the love story that still manages to believably get woven in. And I love the ending. Because it is completely appropriate if completely depressing. The first time I read this piece it wigged me out, the fact that I read shortly after you know my country was attacked didn't help...I could have read it a year ago and I don't think I would have been less affected. The link is in the bookmarks section of the group site if you haven't read it.

Okay I can't stop with one...the recently rec'ed Daemons Luminati...it's made a spot on my favorites list though I just read it for the first time last night. Sun also used to have this series that she took offline...she wrote it before we knew anything about Spike's past, she had this OC named Lily in there that I fell in love with, the story was all about Lily as far as I was concerned...and Rachel Anton's Geek Series...completely rules. And another nuclear holocaust fic, shortish, called The Bomb's Go Off by Rowan.

With such an abundance of greatness out there I can not possibly pick one...but The Last Summer is at the top of the list...because it is freaking beautiful in a really distorted way.
