You know, they don't have to have sex. Because you are right. And it is hard for me to see them doing anything now, after all that has happened. It's why I don't see Xander/Angel - there's too much history. And before last year Xander knew that Spike was evil, etc, but it had never really touched him and his. But I think that the realisation of the attraction, that Xander acknowledges it, is a very important bit of character developement - the graying of Xander. So I'm okay with the no sex. Mostly.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Thrive to spite them
I know they don't have to ahve sex, and I think that's where I'm goign with this. No sex for Xander, even though he knows he's attracted to Spike and wants him, because he doesn't like Spike, because he doesn't want to become Spike.

Thanks for all the fish.
Very good. Nice and grayish, I think. Or at least off-white.

It's worth it. I can remember when she first started this stuff... Damn, it was forever ago. But we kinda joked around until it became the DE -- Damned Epic. And then she started Route 66 -- Imposters in this Country -- as a little sidelined PWP from a list challenge. And then that ate her brain.
It was not forever ago! It was just, umm. Late June! So, you know, only kind of forever ago.
It was fun to watch.
Mmm... Spicy brains! I think the top sign when something has eaten my brain is when I'm wandering around the house thinking about other things, and suddenly, I'm dashing to the computer and typing. Fucking brains. I miss them.
I'd say that the writers have purposefully started to reintroduce elements of William into newly-souled Spike.
I so totally called that. Hahahahaha!
I can't wait to read askye's story. Panting with eager, here.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
And he's letting Spike STAY in his apartment because Buffy asked and maybe Xander's afraid of where Buffy might let Spike live if he said no.
Oh, I really like that interpretation. It makes a lot of sense.

Can somebody help me? I have the first two lines of a filk of Rudyard Kipling's If, but I don't have a copy in any of my poetry books, and I need to check I'm remembering the thing right. I feel sure there should be somewhere I can go on-line, but I don't know where. Any thoughts?
