Top Five Xander/Buffy Fics

[lusciousxander.livejournal.com]

Some are friendship and some are shippy.

1) If I Act (a Little Strange) by waddis: There's a difference between getting old and getting older, but neither one feels very good. Xander is turning 30 -which is approperaite seeing as he's obviously a month or a few weeks older than Buffy so his 30th birthday is either in last December or today. Happy birthday, Xander!

2) Lost and Gone Forever by hkath: Buffy sent Angel to hell in S2 and left. She never came back. Heartbreaking piece about the Scoobies, especially Xander, dealing with Buffy being gone and living S3 without Buffy.

3) We All Fall Down by coalitiongirl: Missing scene, takes place just after the last scene in "Killed By Death." Xander helps Buffy heal in the only way he can. I really wish this missing scene happened. So powerful and gripping. I couldn't stop reading.

4) Still Standing by secondalto: Xander comes to Scotland to heal. Buffy and Giles are there for him. Especially Buffy.

5) Ivory Soap by outoftime: Set Post-series. I don't usually go for hot Xander/Buffy fics as I'm usually more into chracter moments (either showing how close Xander and Buffy become or dealing with one of their issues and fights) and friendship. But I enjoyed this hot ficlet in the shower.

It's good to see a mix of friendship tales in with all the shippy ones. Thanks for posting.

You're welcome. I can't help but love the friendship between Xander and Buffy.

I'd read a couple of these but not all of them, so thank you for reminding to revisit the ones I'd read and enjoy them all over again, and to discover the new ones and fall in love with them. :)

Just popped over to #3 -- some interesting ideas there about how Xander might have been better off not getting what he wanted.

It was interesting, I really enjoyed how it went. The show doesn't take these risky choices with Xander sadly
