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."
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

(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.

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

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Beautiful and strange, didn't make me cry, but intriguing, yes.

How could it not make you cry? It made me cry at the past-future lines. Which I'm now wearing as a tagline.

I am a delicate little thing.

I'm not always sure what will make me cry. Sometimes, these days, stupid Hallmark commercials make me cry. Sorry.

Thanks for all the fish.
See, I think that you can be very firmly het and have one (or a few) person of the same sex that pings you. For me, Xander is straight, except where he likes to rub up against Spike. It makes perfect sense to me.
