Hello, world! Although I'm not really active in fandom these days, I have recently been quietly working on a short Spike/Xander story.

And now it's finished and I get to post it. Hooray! I hope you like it.
Story Info
Fandom: BtVS & AtS
Rating: Teen & Up (for a bit of swearing, a bit of violence, a bit of sex)
Length: 8,184 words (complete!)
This is a post-Chosen AU in which Xander finds Spike's amulet in the wreckage of Sunnydale. When he picks it up, something interesting happens...

"I want to go," Xander insisted. "Hey, you never know. Maybe I'll see something you guys miss." ( Read more... )
