A
LONG TIME (R)
by Mad
Poetess
There's something about Xander and Spike that just screams "slash". That could explain why "Spander" fanfic is one of the more popular pairings in the Buffyverse. In "A Long Time", Mad Poetess draws a delicate picture of their relationship in a non-voyeuristic manner. Spike and Xander seem happy together until Xander's suddenly on the wrong end of a slime-spewing demon with sixteen tentacles. He makes a life-altering decision that boomerangs through their lives.
