Some of my top favorite Xander stories/art for 2006

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to overlap some things I've already reced, or I'd include btvslover82, c_woodhaven and daedream_fanbot's stories with Xander in this list.

1. suki_blue's Teenage Dirtbag features a young first season 16 year-old Xander who meets up with an evil Spike. The pair form an unlikely friendship which slowly develops into passion. Most notable about this fic is the unhurried relationship and the wonderful Scooby moments. If you miss early Buffy, this is a fic that is most enjoyable.

2. suki_blue and amejisuto's long running collaboration has sprawled comfortably into 2006 and continues to be a delight whenever it's updated Grief Counseling. Spike and Xander are grieving the loss of Anya and Buffy after season five and slowly develop a bond. The story has a spread out and engaging cast of some of our favorite characters.

3. kitty_poker1's Dancing Fool gives proof that the author can write formidable spander. Not loud, flashy spander, but spander that is all about 'I like the quiet.' Check out Dancing Fool.

4. eyezrthewindows is known for her hot kink, but she can write very moving pathos as demonstrated with this recent S/X story Don't Move.

5. debart is one of the best manippers around and she turned her attentions recently to a second nude of Xander here. Not worksafe!
