Buffy/Xander is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer het pairing.
The ship was more common in early seasons but seemed to lose the appeal as the series progressed. It was considered a doomed ship and an unconventional couple.[1]
Canon
Common Tropes in Fanworks
- Friends to Lovers
- Family of Choice (Also possibly a reason the pairing was never canon[2])
