Why You Should Read This:
This was my first Spike/Xander fic and the relationship drawn here between the two men is something I had never considered when I watched the show. Lit Gal takes Xander from a broken slave owned by demons to a wholly reinvented Xander who is both Spike’s pet and a warrior. The sex is hot, the adventures non-stop and most — but not all — of the Scooby Gang makes an appearance. The fic was part of the now-defunct Titanium Whip awards.
The white text on black is tougher to read with my older eyes but the (NSFW) illustrations are worth checking out.
This was actually rec’ed to me by a friend off this site when I was in need of ‘gearing up to watch season seven’ …
First Buffy’verse fic I’ve ever read… Loved it. Really lovely. Went on to read quite a few of her fics and even one of her novels.
