( In which Xander experiences new heights )

Hello! Of late, I've been so very bad about posting and actually being around LJ but I am trying to fix that! :D And my first step back is to finally post about the completed Round Robin fic I participated in: Living Conditions.

It's an honour to have my name on a fic which is also written by some of my favourite authors: electricalgwen, reremouse and savoytruffle. This is a Round Robin fic where each author wrote two of the nine chapters and we all collaborated on the ninth. Post-series, Spike runs into Xander in London. Both have had changes in their circumstances. Low-key shagging and angst ensue.

I really love this fic and hope that you do too!

Title: Living Conditions
Author: Multiple authors: cordelianne, electricalgwen, savoytruffle and reremouse
Chapters: Parts 5 to 9/9 *COMPLETED*
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Big questions, vagueness and sex talk. A Xander divided against itself trying to stand. Curtailed sex, reminiscences of evisceration, and destruction of furniture. Brooding, boorishness and the Olympic dream.
Notes: This is a round robin fic, with each chapter having been written by a different author. There are four authors and nine chapters total (we will write two chapters each and collaborate on the ninth).
Summary: A number of years post-Chosen/NFA, Spike pays Xander a visit. He finds a changed Xander, but Xander’s not the only one who’s changed. We blatantly ignore the comics.

You can find all chapters HERE in memories.

Part Five by cordelianne

In which Xander's job is fraught with danger - but the perks aren't bad

Thanks to work being crazy-busy and me going to yoga 5 days a week, I'm finding that I'm behind on replying to comments, commenting and reading. A special thank you to everyone for the wonderful comments on Five Times Xander Doesn't Tell Spike He Loves Him (And One Time He Does) - I've been grinning for weeks over those comments (and am still replying!).

However I have been writing! And not just FINALLY completing Outside Pride, I am also consumed with (some may say obsessed with) a new human AU S/X fic for fall_for_sx that I'm frantically working to complete for Sunday... so look out for that! I'm excited to share it.

So yes, this is the conclusion of Outside Pride, much later than I'd wanted but the chapter is what I wanted it to be so that's important. I sincerely apologize for the delay (writer's block can be a bitch). The entire fic is just over 15,000 words. As George Saunders says, An ending is stopping without sucking. And I definitely aimed for this to not suck. I really hope that you enjoy it!

Title: Outside Pride

Pairing: Spike/Xander
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2,851

“She’s, like, so whatever.” Cordelia says with a flip of her hair.
“I know. Totally.” Harmony says with a flip of her hair. “Wait, who are we talking about?”
A/N: Huge thanks to the completely awesome and wonderful savoytruffle and spookymonkey for their invaluable pre-reading, betaing, ideas and support. Any mistakes are mine.
