[fic] KHR - Five Things That Never Happened to Xanxus
Title: Five Things That Never Happened to Xanxus
Characters: Xanxus
Summary: These are things that never happened to Xanxus, but could have done, if only things had started out just a bit differently.
Notes: For cliche_bingo, prompt: "Fork in the Road AU." Full bingo card is available here. This fic is what happens when you say to yourself, "Gosh, I've been writing a lot of Xanxus angst lately. I wonder if it is possible to write Xanxus in such a way that he is, well, functionally broken instead of just psychopathically insane." And then you get tackled by a plot bunny that is the size of a goddamn linebacker. Teen and up; warnings for Xanxus doing the things that make him Xanxus. Part of the Choice project, which is 101 ways of trying to fix Xanxus. 12465 words.
Xanxus stared up at the old geezer--this smiling old fool was supposed to be the Vongola Ninth? please--and lifted a hand to show him the Flame when he asked for it.
