Reactions and Reviews
Oh, *man*. ANOTHER brilliant Spike/Xander story, and this one? Comes complete with an OFC that makes me have faith for OFCs everywhere.
Funny, sexy, bleak, painful, dead-on characterization, and just impossible to put down. I remember the Spike was trying to get me to read this while it was still a WiP, but I'm glad I waited -- people could've gotten hurt, otherwise.
*g*
Wonderfully done. [1]
Modus Vivendi (which I have certainly spelt wrong) was the first [Spander story] I read for the heck of it, and I was surprised to love it. [2]
Spike/Xander. Xander moves to L.A. to start a new life after breaking up with Anya. When some of Spike's enemies see them together, they give Xander a little message to deliver to Spike.
Why you should read this: This is chipped Spike without the Buffy obsession. A bitter, dark Spike like espresso, one who's been robbed of his physical bite but not his verbal one - think "Harsh Light of Day" and "Doomed." Spike isn't often written this close to season 4 canon in fanfic, especially in slash, and that makes this exploration of his personality all the more fascinating. There's a very good original female character who is interesting in a cold, calculating sort of way. [3]
