Ficlet: The Incredible Xander

[speakr2customrs]

Our external central heating boiler blew up today, sending a jet of scalding water across the back garden, and now we have no hot water or radiators and will be thousands of pounds poorer shortly unless the house insurance covers it. If I ever manage to get past their insane automated phone menu system and get through to someone I can ask, that is

Aaargh!!! Now is a very bad time to have no heating. Glad your plumber is on the ball at least. That safety vent did a good job. When our boiler was replaced last spring the new plumber had a few choice words to say about the previous guy, including the fact that he had set up the vent to release into our daughter's bedroom rather than to the outside. Does not bear thinking about!

As for 'Hulk fuck!' I think I strained something trying not to laugh out loud because there is no simple way to explain Hulk/BtVS crossover smut to a five year old. Glorious!

Well, Hulk is a very angry green man, who loves Glory very much. They have their own house and three hot meals a day...

Lovely stuff, S2C. Trust Spike to think of the potential.

Thank you!

He refrained from telling you that I was out in the yard putting stuff in the recycling bin which is... right beside the heating unit. I heard a 'thunk' then boiling water started to run out of it towards my slipper clad feet!

But fortunately I side-stepped pretty quickly, and the steam mostly vented vertically!

Thank goodness the spray of water went into the garden and no into the house!

Hope you can get it sorted out soon and that the Insurance will cough up!

Thanks! So do I, and that I can eventually navigate my way through the automated menu and get through to a human.

Oh dear. Incredible Xander. He would save the day - I love his treatment of Adam, while your (and his) handling of Glory was just what Spike said.

Hmm. He wouldn't have needed Hulk form to sort out Dark Willow, though I'd fear for Spike and Anya in
Entropy, but he could have made one hell of a mess of the uber-vamps in
Chosen...

Great fun. I'd vote for it...

Thanks!

With no Buffy death and resurrection Season 6 should be a gentler, happier, time - and the fake vision of the future wouldn't be convincing without scenes of him turning into Hulk!Xander and smashing Anya, so perhaps he wouldn't leave her at the altar in the first place.

Separate reply to express sympathy over exploding boiler. I hope none of the plants in the garden were damaged - Incredible Hulk Wombat would be a scary thought...

Hope it's sorted quickly. This is really not the weather for heatlessness, even if you haven't had snow as such. And I devoutly hope the insurance coughs up.

Thanks!

I had planned to have a shower today - I had been putting it off because of the cold weather but I really need one - but that plan had to be abandoned as hypothermia is not a fun way to die.

The heating is being sorted out quickly - the plumber managed to find an in-stock boiler and he's already brought it round ready to be installed first thing tomorrow morning.

Thank you! I haven't done Hulk!Xander versus Olaf; my favourite troll is mighty, yes, but not in the same league as the Incredible Hulk.
