Five Fics I enjoyed in Earlier 2013

[lusciousxander.livejournal.com]

1) Cousins to the War by jo_anne_storm: Okay, I've never watched Teen Wolf but I heard a lot about the similarities between Xander and Stiles and got curious. I don't regret a second of it. I'm glad that it's Stiles visiting Xander instead of the other way around. I'm also glad that Stiles is Xander's cousin and not his lover.

2) Natural Fear by antrazi: Post S7. Xander can't see well anymore. Is he going blind? What should he do?

3) Keep Me from Falling by theladymerlin: S7 Ficlet. Xander, Buffy, Spike friendship. Spike is being tormented by his newly acquired soul and the First.

3) Cooking for One by punch_kicker15: I've read a lot of awesome drabbles, but this one is the only one the came into my mind. Post-Hell's Bells. Xander angst.

5) Sticks and Stones by angel_grace01: Xander Harris and Greg House: who's gonna win the fight of wit? And then we get a slashy ending.

Nice list, Cooking For One is particularly good. Thanks for posting.

Somehow I managed to miss all these last year - hangs head in shame. Will definitely check them all out, so thanks for pointing them out, hon :)

That first one sounds intriguing -- downloading!

All of these are new to me and I just gobbled up half this list in pretty short order. Excellent list - esp as someone who, admittedly doesn't seek out Xander-centric fics - or really male-centric fics generally, although that's been changing slowly - so I have to be "enticed/seduced" by really good stories and prose. These definitely fit the bill! thank you!

Gosh, thanks for the rec! So glad you enjoyed the drabble.

Thanks for the rec!

Thank you for the rec. I'm happy you liked it. :) It's funny as I'd just been thinking about that little ficlet recently since I've been contemplating making it into a longer story. Maybe this is a sign. *g*

Glad you enjoyed it. :)

[lusciousxander.livejournal.com]

You won't be sorry. :)

Thanks for writing it. It's so rich on the details and has a good grip on continuity - loved Stiles eating from Double Meat Palace and Dawn's reaction to it for example - and it made me want to watch Teen Wolf.

You're welcome. :)

I hope you enjoy them!

I'm in love with it. I guess because it's different than the fics I'm used to read, not to mention that it's written from Stiles' POV and he isn't aware of the truth behind the life in Sunnydale so it was refreshing.

I feel proud. Sometimes it's fun to read outside of your comfort zone.

[lusciousxander.livejournal.com]

You're welcome :)

You're welcome :)

That will be awesome! You're got a good beginning there and I can see it going for a wonderful chaptered fic.
