Reading other comments, I agree that The Pack definitely showed that Xander had some darkness in him, which is one of the reasons I enjoy writing him so much! *g*
And can I just say that somehow I managed not to notice ‘Crossover’ yesterday – god knows how, because it’s quite breathtaking.
As far hyena recs – hmm. One place I could point you at is my ‘Beastie Boy’ rec list. I have a series of genre based rec lists (inevitabily mainly Xander based), and that one is mainly hyena or vamp Xander, so you might want to take a look there.
However if it helps, the ones that spring to mind are Jane Davitt’s Predatory Acts. Spike does a reccie on the Hellmouth during the Master’s time and happens to run across a possessed Scooby. Naturally the vamp takes his new plaything home, but discovers that sometime toys have teeth. This is just so great and the hyena and the vamp together are beyond hot. The sequel is Preying on my Mind – it’s two years later, and there are some things Xander can’t forget.
Voices Carry by yin_again is way post-Chosen. Spike is bored in LA and keeps seeing things out of the corner of his eye. Maybe it’s his imagination, or maybe not.
And for something fluffy - Harmless Wolf Fun by dessert_first is short, sweet and very funny. Xander and Oz do some bonding and muse on the allure of meat based products.
I feel very weird about self pimping, but what the hell, here goes. But please don’t feel obliged to read, and if you do, don’t feel obliged to like them! *g*
In Smoke and Mirrors, I wondered what would have been going through Giles’ mind if he’d been on hyena- Xander watching duty instead of Willow. This is short and Gen
And Next Time, was a very early one-shot for me when I tried to get into hyena-Xander’s head at the time he attacked Buffy.
Anyway, those are just a few that come to mind - if you try any of them, I hope you enjoy! :)
