OMG! Xander/Spike drove me from my fandom!

[korilian]

And I didn't even realize it was happening! 

I mean I was always skeptical about the Xander/Spike pairing, because I will never, ever buy Xander hooking up with a vampire, even if he does have that thing with the demons, but that never stopped me from reading a lot of good slash fic with quite a bit of enjoyment. 

And then came S6 which left me hating Spike with a fiery passion. 

Let's face it, Xanderfic can tragically be split up in roughly two sections: 
a) Xander/Spike slash and b) the mostly god awful overly macho Xander, who gains a superpower and shows up them eeeevil women fic (like, way to get your masculinity back people, by saying the guy hero isn't good enough without a power boost). 
There are exceptions, but they're small pickings in comparison. 

So Spike (whom I loathe) + Xander (whom I cherish) = me skulking off to the SGA fandom for a slash fix I can actually stomach. 
Basic math. I half forgot how much I love my Buffy verse til I decided to check in with liz_marcsWIPs for the first time in foreveh. 

So... Xander fan, no apologies, even if it does turn out I'd rather see him miserable, stressed out and alone  then having hot gratifying sex with the undead menace.
