Mid S5, although perhaps S4 might work

Xander had only left for a short time. To get coffee. There are coffee shops on every other street corner in this country. There was nothing, absolutely nothing, to inspire such a grotesque outpouring of emotion ( Read more... )

This is for karl_stahl's request for my still-open drabble meme, which was "Ethan Rayne, Willow, chaos magic". Not really a drabble, but I got to 100 words and I couldn't cut it down. Set post-"Halloween" but probably pre-"Dark Age".

This is for sroni2004's request for my still-open drabble meme, which was "Xander/Kennedy interaction". This isn't X/K, more X&K, because I'd have to rejigger Kennedy's personality to get them together like that. And this time, it is a drabble. Set post-"Chosen".

This is connected to "Someone To Watch Over Me", an AU post-"NFA" story where Wes survived and Faith had a daughter. Brought to you by the letter B and the number 3.

open_on_sunday's Country Music challenge is closed. nwhepcat drabbled Johnny Cash recently. jgracio hit his cover of "Hurt". I went back to the beginning after listening to Folsom and San Quentin today. This is Eyelessverse fic.

( Thousand Miles From Nowhere )

For open_on_sunday. I love writing Xander. With who else can you touch on Marty and Travis, Conan, and Carl and Mel in 100 words and have it be true to character?

( This One's Gonna Hurt You (For A Long, Long Time) )

Theme is Country Music and I go to the well again with Lefty. I wanna write Angel dealing with Bill Monroe with "What Would You Give In Exchange For Your Soul", but I just don't have the bunny.

( I Never Go Around Mirrors )

Xander and an OC talking about Xander's scars. Could be in bed, could be Xander's working construction and took his shirt off. Could be he's abducted by aliens. I have no idea what to put in the synopsis anymore. For safety's sake call it NC17. Post-Chosen. Spoilers through "Dirty Girls", at least.

Actually, I'd say G, even. I'm just defensive.
