Hey, swordfighting in tiaras, or salt-and-burning in tiaras. Heroes all, right? In sparkly damn tiaras.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
He studied it, turning it over and over in his hands, mesmerized by the spray of light that emanated from it, lighting up the upholstery like a thousand tiny klieg lights. Made the interior look different, even more beautiful, he thought, and the Impala’s interior was plenty beautiful. He cradled the tiara, lifting it up and down, impressed by the weight of it, the heft. It felt substantial—like a real crown, and not one made of glass. The diamonds, or crystals, or whatever they were, were seated in silver mountings, and there was one large rhinestone that dangled in the center of the tiara, surrounded by other, lesser stones. He touched the stones with his fingertip, felt the sharp edges, the cool planes. There were three small combs attached, and he ran his fingernails over them, drawing out a tinkling sound. Musical. He strummed the tiara, admired it--and suddenly, he wanted to put it on.
This was a thing of beauty to run across first thing in the morning.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Isn't it just a wonderful crackfic? I want to pet it, and name it George.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
King George.
What? He was mad, it fits.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
...entirely out of the blue, and apropos of nothing, as I was in my bunk falling asleep last night I found myself craving, of all the random things, Girl!Xander fic. Sticky, unexpected, potentially meaningful Girl!Xander/Willow, segueing almost accidentally into Girl!Xander/Spike. Rather angry, thoroughly filthy, Season 6, post-Hells Bells, post Spike/Buffy, post Spike/Anya, with an awful lot of baggage and mutual antagonism and...er. Yeah. Anyway. There was hotness.
So presumably, fandom being what it is, somebody somewhere has already written this?

I know of Girl!Xander with Boy!Anya fic. It also includes Boy!Buffy and Girl!Spike. Lots of smut ensues. Will it suffice until you find exactly what you're looking for?

I thought it was excellent, myself. I'm going to have to go back when I have time and see what else she's got hidden. I found the story through a link in someone else's lj, so I wouldn't have found it my own, either. Following fandoms can get quite convoluted, particularly with crossovers.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Killa? A ton of excellent fic in several fandoms. Coincidentally enough, I was looking at wikipedia's entry on Kirk/Spock, and they attribute the first K/S story posted on the web to her.
