Why this must be read:
Xander gets some new digs and...let's just say he won't be ending up on Cribs anytime soon. I loved Xander and Spike as reluctant, antagonistic roommates in the fourth season, and this story takes that to another degree. It gives some nice Xander angst, and I like the way that Anna has Xander and Spike complementing each other and being good for each other. This takes place mid-season four during the dreaded Initiative debacle (Maggie's still alive) that Anna actually makes interesting. Plus, there's Ethan. Plus, there's sex. Plus, there's kittens.
The Joy of Vamping, Xander thought. It would be a bedside table book, the kind you kept with your tissues and Vaseline. Mind: stop wandering. Exhaustion was taking its toll. He'd spent too many recent nights trying to sleep within six feet of a chipped and restless vamp who would not shut the fuck up. It made no sense. Three years backing up a slayer, three years of paying half-attention to librarian lectures read from doorstops, and okay, he was never going to be Xan'Dar the Mighty, striking fear into the unbeating hearts of vampires everywhere, but he'd learned a little something about battling corpses animated by unholy blood-lust, so why was he thwarted by one neutered asshole slouched moodily in a chair, talking him to death?
