PG-13. WIP. Start of season 9. Xander dreamed about normal life when he couldn't have it. Now magic is dead, vampires are showbiz darlings and slayers are considered murderers. In this new strange world Xander tries to live a life of an average Joe, but it's hard to stay away from the good fight. Xander/Dawn, Xander/Spike, ensemble. Plotty, occasionally funny, occasionally heartbreaking story of a man caught between two worlds.

PG-13. Middle of season 4, Spike spends Christmas at Xander's... tied up to a tree. (No, it's what you think, pervs! :)

G, Gen. Xander. Title says all. Funny and charming "5 things" story.

PG-13, post-Chosen. Spike/Xander. Xander finds Spike's amulet in the wreckage of Sunnydale. When he picks it up, Xander becomes the only person in the world who can see and hear ghost!Spike. Perfect blend of fun and angst, the story re-imagines Xander's ability "to see" in a new light.

PG-13, post-series. Xander and Faith sort out their relationship during an apocalypse in LA. Insightful character study.

Thank you for these. I'm so glad to see fic from shadowscast, not to mention the others.

I was incredibly happy to see Shadowscast writing BtVS fanfiction again. Hopefully, she'll go on in 2012.

Thanks for the comment, hon@

Nice to see the mix in length and genre here.

I'm looking forward to your story.

(And I thought you were too harsh to poor Scoobies. After new comic spoilers I have to take my words back! :)

I'm harsher on Xander than Joss, but I'll cut poor Buffy a lot of slack. I can never torture her with the way Joss and the writers are treating her. She needs a break.
