Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
You're goin' to Jackson; go comb your hair!
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson.
See if I care.

Xander slid the cue through his fingers.

The tip tapped ever so gently on the cue ball.

But they'll laugh at you in ( Read more... )

Okay so Lady Anne/Buffy simply appreciates Xander more than she did before. Cordy is more than making up for it, methinks.

That is my second favorite Xander pairing, so I'll consider this a present.

As Buffy says in S3: "I love Xander. I just don't love Xander." While rather AU, I am trying to keep within the bounds of the series with this YAHF. Buffy in S2 just isn't about to give up Angel for Xander because he showed honour and heroism. But she is more than willing to express gratitude and appreciation for his finer qualities.

As for Cordelia, it's less appreciation than obsessive, lusty hatesex. Which I intend to explore in another fic set in this 'verse.

I'm sure Xander would tell you that hatesex is better than no sex at all...

Interesting parallels between Xander and Cordelia's relationship and Buffy and Spike's relationship.

Some dark sprinkles on this otherwise delightful soft-serve.

I'm looking forward to seeing how far you take this setup with the sequel.

This story was really fun.

Despite all the sex, I have no problem calling this genfic. And excellent genfic at that.

Now that I'm back from pre and post-vacation stress, have I told you how much I like this? No. Then herewith I do.

And you still win at the YAHF. Will you go the canon route and let the knowledge fade, or go the fanon way and keep it all?

Re: Cordy. I don't think it is hatesex. They do like each other, they're just to caught up in their respective backgrounds to actually accept it. I hope they do. (And there's no fluke this time.)
