Here's a link to my Buffyverse/Anita Blake crossover.

I'm suddenly wanting this same crossover, but featuring taciturn Oz and emo Richard.

The writing is excellent and I enjoyed reading it... but I couldn't finish.

Bummer. Your loss.

I saved the link. There's something about Spike/Xander that gives me the ookies but the dialogue is so authentic I might wade back in. Possibly after a night of drinking.

Come over to the dark dorky dark side, Laga....

And don't get me wrong. I loves me some guy/guy fun. It's just that particular couple making my brain itch. Though it would serve to explain their antagonistic relationship over the years... oh god! It's starting already!

I have a vid to send you when I get home from work. We'll get'cha.

Brokeback Sunnydale?

I have to say Spike/Xander never works for me. I enjoyed the fanfic for the hilarity of the Anita Blake crossover, but S/X is always a "Huh?" for me. Not that it bothers me, I just completely don't see it. Of course, I tend to be relatively slash-blind. (Except, oddly enough, for my current WIP, where the moment my male leads had their first scene together, I realized that my fanfic-inclined CP was going to slash them, and I have to resist the temptation to deliberately lay on the UST for her reading pleasure.)

oh god! It's starting already

It gets everyone, Laga. Once upon a time I swore I didn't have any clue what people saw in slash. Why the heck did anyone think guys together were hot.

I don't even recognize that person any more.

On the show I could never ever see Spike and Xander together, but I actually enjoy reading some S/X fics. It's just..separate in my head somehow, some writers can write it and make it work. I've tried to write Spike and Xander but I can't at all, because when I do I can't get past the fact that Xander loathes vampires and really doesn't like Spike or Angel and I just can't see him in canon having sex with either of them.

It's sort of aside place I like to visit.

It gets everyone, Laga.

Well, not everyone. M/M slash is so profoundly not my beautiful cake I can't even say. I'm not bothered in the least by other people finding it beautiful, but I just... don't.

At least, not the seriously porny, get-the-reader-hot stuff. Playing with subtext and messy character issues that the original writers and actors have left hanging and unresolved, I'll cheerfully go along for the ride. But for pure porn, if there isn't a woman involved somewhere I just feel like I'm standing outside a playground, my fingers laced through the cold chain-link fence, watching everyone frolic around in a game I'll never be invited to play. Throw a woman into the mix, and I'm all "Woo hoo! I have a sex proxy!" (And, er, yes, this does mean that I sometimes find f/f PWP kinda hot, 'cause, two proxies.)

I'm sure it all goes back to some unresolved grade-school issues about feeling left out and snubbed and getting all sulky about it, but it seems to be pretty firmly hardwired into me by now.
