Why this must be read:

If you like Xander at all then this is the fic for you. The story works on a couple of different levels, first as 32 self contained drabbles (all of which are good) and second as a longer fic charting Xander's development over the life of the series.


Xander rolls a pencil along the top of the desk as Ms. Bossman calls attendance. It's the six-sided kind, not the round, so it makes a soft clicking noise. Schoolbus yellow -- is that on purpose, he wonders, or just coincidence -- except where the paint is flaking around the teeth marks. He's a biter.

"Jesse?"

It's the second time she's called his name.

"He's not coming back," Xander says. He stares at his hand, the pencil bumping along underneath.

"Oh," she says softly. "Thank you, Xander." She asks no questions.

They never do.

He can't believe he's never noticed that before.
