I love S/X set in this time period, between s5 and s6.

“Oh. My. God.” Dawn takes a deep breath. Xander grips the arm rests. “You are totally in love with -”

There’s a groan from the couch.

“ - chocolate,” she finishes. “And I need some right now.” Dawn literally runs from the room.

Hahahahahaha Dawn! I love a good Dawn.

He jumps up and hugs Willow. “You’re here! It worked!”

Now everyone is giving him weird looks. It’s sad that this is a regular occurrence.

Poor Xander. :D

“Did you get in the chocolate again, Xander?” Willow holds him at arm length and inspects him, like she’ll find chocolate smeared on his hands or clothes.Haha, Willow is so Xander's mom! His mom that he imagines having hot Sapphic love. Er. I should stop with this train of thought, shouldn't I? But Xander finds moms hot! *fondly remembers Xander's Joyce!crushing

Oh! This comment makes me so happy - it's a good argument for taking so long to reply to comments: I get to reread awesome ones like this!! I'm so glad that you like S/X having their relationship in the context of their lives and not isolated, it's something that I enjoy too. I just feel the show is such a rich universe that it's hard *not* to include the others characters - it's often way more fun too!

hee! Yes, Xander does find moms hot! Aw, Xander.

Thanks so much!! *beams*
