I enjoyed that. And the writer is me on a very important point - I don't think that Xander is gay (and Spike's sexuality just seems very fluid to me, gay/straight/bi, labels that don't apply - he's vampire), I just enjoy it when he and Spike suck tongue. And other things.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That's EXACTLY what I liked about it. Spike's sexuality is rarely -- if ever -- addressed. He just fucks who he feels like fucking, regardless of gender or demonic status. But it always has to be this big ordeal for Xander, where he has to ponder his sexuality ad infinitum.
Now, don't get me wrong; given Xander's nature, I can see him getting attacked by the Sexual Orientation Squickmonsters. It wouldn't be true to his character if he didn't address it at all.
But what I'm saying is, why does it have to be a "Xander's gay now!" thing, when it never seems to be a "Spike's gay now!" thing? Can't Xander mull it over and then decide that orientation doesn't enter into it and he just likes sucking on Spike's tongue?

Always Anti-fascist!
That was interesting for me, as somebody who's more "Slash? The hell?" than not.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I don't see Xander as gay *BUT*, and this is a huge *BUT*, and it could be the Canon's Bitch in me talking, Xander has more than his fair share of issues surrounding his sexuality. He likes girls. He knows he likes girls. However, I would guess he's had more than one wet dream about an XY, and may have done some fooling around to boot, probably with Jesse.
If I wasn't so lazy, I'd dig up all the supporting evidence.

Bill, my friend, strange deeds are afoot at the Circle K.
As one of my friends put it, "I wondered why Xander was in so very many stories. And then I realized, well, someone has to be the bottom."

(Suddenly realizes that Xander hasn't ever bottomed in anything I've slashed him in. But he has gotten a lot of blow jobs.)

I knew you were odd when you started posting Kissinger slash, but this is just too much! My world has been shattered.

Topping/Bottoming history in m/m slash. (Topping/Bottoming used loosely here.)
Billy Tallent - Manipulative bottom. See topping comma through. Xander Harris - Closest he's come to topping is giving hand jobs. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce - Switch. Spike - Bottom. Charles Gunn - Didn't get too specific, but Switch. Angelus - Top.I've never written a topping Spike. Bitch has always bottomed. Even in Het stuff, he's bottomed.

That was interesting for me, as somebody who's more "Slash? The hell?" than not.
As some one who's more "Slash? Duh." than not (for actually a host of carefully-reasoned intellectual reasons, but a different sort of reasons than W's, more meta and postmodern, really), that was really boring for me.
But. Ah. Not the point.
