3.

4.
Regency AU (Giles/Xander, FRT overall) by
mireille719 Summary: A regency romance with Giles/Xander at the center.
Why should you read this? Every time I read a new installment of this fic I have the biggest grin on my face. Mir is so fantastic, not only with the ideas for the story, but with the way she writes everything.
5.
The Full Xander Harris Experience (Xander/Larry, FRT) by
mireille719 Summary: "We hang out," Xander said. "And then you'll understand that I'm completely serious when I tell you that I am one hundred percent, completely and totally, straight." / "You're one hundred percent, completely and totally, insane."
Why shouldl you read this? It's wonderful, brillaint, adorable, sweet, and kind of fantastic. I would've never touched Xander/Larry without Mir's writing to guide me along.
