Warnings/Squicks: yet more abstract writing
Summary: How to build a world
AN: Yesterday, my Xandra told me she needed William… that resulted in Angel Hair, this follows that and there will be at least one more to complete the set.

Xander woke up panting. It was the dream again. The one that turned his world upside-down and made him rethink everything he thought he knew. It was the dream of the sandy-haired young man wooing him with words. Words he wasn’t meant to know. Words that painted pictures in his mind so vivid that when he woke he wondered which was his dream and which was his reality.
It never took long for the harsh realization to kick in. His world was brash and garish, arrogant and loud. His was a world of action and violence, nothing like the warm world of words built around him as he slept. A world moulded of the purest materials- words. And what words were used for that construct, words of beauty, promise, and devotion. Words as sweet as the golden honey of his hair.
In his heart of hearts, Xander knew the words were true. He knew the hand that wrote them and the mind that thought them. He knew William.
