A poster in search of a story : Xander and the Evil Clown (Nightmares)

So last week I was making award banners for slayerstillness Challenge 53 - and then this happened:

  1)

Title: Why So Serious, Kid? (Nightmares) 2015

Artist: red_satin_doll

Characters: Xander Harris and the Evil Clown

Size: 706x469

All images 706x469 click for full-size:

        2 - 3)

I prefer the brighter version myself but in any case I realized (and my lovely beta confirmed) that it was too showy to be a proper awards banner and would only overwhelm the icons it was meant to highlight and honor. So I went with another design but I'd love to see this used for a fanfiction poster. I don't know of any Xander Nightmares fics off the top of my head but I confess I don't read a lot of Xander fic.  So if anyone knows of a story or any author would like to claim this, let me know and I can personalize it to suit.


Per velvetwhip's rec I asked sparrow2000 if she'd be interested; she graciously declined as she hadn't written anything that this would go with, but am I now reading her fic Cracks in the World. (Her prose is amazing.) Perhaps lusciousxander or aadler? eurydice72? Suggestions, anyone?

Alt # 3) I made a version with the tag line from the movie The Dark Knight because I couldn't resist.


Screencaps: Buffy the Vampire Slayer HD/Blu-Ray, Bloodqueen

And now a word from our sponsors: LAST CHANCE to cast your vote at whedon_elite Challenge 127 Close Crop. This is yet another "yes I voted but can I vote again a time or five?"  Because the icons submitted are an amazing, gorgeous, evocative set as a whole. Deciding what I don't like is a helluva lot easier than picking "bests".

Then check out the rules for Challenge 128 "Shades of Grey" (oh yes, please.)

YAY, thank you! "Creepy" is rarely a mood I manage to achieve but that clown, man - that's scary stuff.
