A Spuffy fic and Xander on top pic!

[lusciousxander.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for a well written Spuffy fic with some sort of Spander bonding. Like Xander accepting Spuffy, or getting along with Spike. No Xander bashing. Xander may have issues with vampires but he can be an understanding friend.

I also hope to find a Xander on top pic or cap. I wanna use it for a Spander manip. I only remember him being on top of Buffy in his hyena state but, sadly, Xander usually enjoys having people on top of him. Cordelia, Anya, Faith, even Willow. Help?

Try posting at find_buffy_recs as well. Seeking_spike is more for finding specific stories that you know exist . Plus there might be people there that aren't on seeking_spike and you'll reach more people.

Personally I recommend A Penny for Your... by Jack Of Spikes on the bloodshedverse. It's a wip but it's updated fairly regularly and it has Spike and Xander getting along fairly well by the last posted chapter.

Ahhh, yes, The Pack. Such a great ep for Xander on top pics. If this one doesn't work for you I have a whole bunch more from that scene and the ep.

If you find some good fics let me know, sounds like it'd be something right up my alley.

Oops, looks like it got resized. Let me know if you need it bigger and we'll get you the big version.

Countdown (http://www.allaboutspike.com/fic.html?id=341) by elsaf is a great one for that. It's Spike/Buffy, Spike and Xander.

There's also Bachelor Party (http://www.allaboutspike.com/fic.html?id=80) by Kimi.

Thanks for the recommendation and I'll try find_buffy_recs. :)

*drools* pretty banner!

The cap I want is with Xander's back on the screen, like Spike is on the bed and Xander is on top of him, but we see Spike's face as he looks at Xander but we only see Xander's back or a side of his back... does that make sense? *blush*

Thanks for the recs! I'm pretty much into Spuffy with nice Xander/Spike developments.

Barb C's stories have quite a few Spike & Xander adventures and even hanging out. 'Boys Night out' is a short story featuring those two. The epics are Spuffy. http://sleepingjaguars.com/buffy/

Her website is being moved this weekend and it's not working yet, though.

I have a few shorties set in season VI where Xander is at least tolerant of Spuffy, if not enthusiastic. "Please don't leave me" has some mild bonding and "Poppycock" has Xander saving Spike after Buffy beats him in the alley. I like understanding Xander, just haven't written him that way too often. *goes off muttering to self about possible plot bunnies...*

Thanks. *bg*

Yup, it does. Unfortunately I didn't cap those sections. But this scene still works whenever it's a Buffy reaction shot. Or them at the vending machine might work if you change the angle of the shot. That great sexy turn he does when he's listening to Willow and Buffy, I have every frame and a lot of it is him turning his back. Let me know if you can change the angle on that and I'll load into Photobucket or email it.

Also try these sites and see what they have:

I also found this LJ comm, btvs_screencaps. They might be more help.

Thank you for the link :)

You should! *g* I'm a Spander shipper, and I feel bad when I see Buffy bashing. It's amzing how Xander and Buffy's roles switch in the two pairings. I've always enjoyed to see a fic that is not biased. I like to see Xander and Buffy in character.

In some fanfic we see Buffy mistaking Xander's overprotective brother approuch by him still having feelings for her regardless to how many times her was okay with her dating 'human' guys for the fact that he thinks they're better for her than vampire boyfriends, because that's what the author thinks. But what the author thinks shouldn't be written from Buffy's POV, because Buffy never thought of Xander being jealous except with Angel (which is true.)

Buffy, if she saw Xander with Spike, may flip if it was pre-S6 because she doesn't want Xander with a soulless vampire after what happened with a Angelus, but she shouldn't be written as a bitch. If during S6, she'll flip because of the thing she got going on with Spike along side with her not trusting Spike.

Is it okay if you sent me what you have? Maybe I can do something with them. I think if I ripped caps from my S1 DVD, which is sadly with someone abroad, I'd be able to have a shot of Xander on top of Buffy in a clear way for the manip.

Thanks for the links, hopefully I'll find something.

It's not fair to have Xander bottoming for all these women and not once on top. *glares*

If you're still looking; a couple of my favorites are

Beer Good by Ozfan http://www.allaboutspike.com/fic.html?id=436 Two enemies bond over beer and frustration over the Slayer after her "Everybody Sucks But Me" speech from Get It Done. Sorry, no slash! Just friendship!

Woman http://www.allaboutspike.com/fic.html?id=390 by by LadyCat
Dawn has a problem. Xander's POV, set approximately three weeks after 'The Gift'.
Post-The Gift, Rated PG, Spike & Dawn, Spike & Xander, 6075 words.

I'd also strongly recommend Exquisite Corpse, by Thrombus and d.irge, but I got a 404 when I tried the link I had for that story! Well worth reading though if you can find it!

Thank you so much! And believe me it's no slash I'm looking for :) I'm pretty much into Spander friendship.
