"Spring Break, Sidekick Style" by Perri Smith (PG)
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: a little Buffy/Angel, but this is primarily a buddy-fic

Why this must be read:
This is a fun, classic, old-school Buffy fic. When Giles goes chasing after Buffy and Willow - who have managed to get into trouble on their Spring Break vacation - Xander is the only Scooby left to keep an eye on the Hellmouth. There's more trouble than he'd hoped, and he's forced to turn to the only other person in Sunnydale who can help him: Angel.
There's lot of fun, snarky banter, a little bonding - forced though it may be - and a little perspective-sharing. Best of all, it really captures S1 Xander and Angel - the slightly-hyper wise-guy, the cryptic-guy hesitancy. A lovely bit of nostalgic fun.
Spring Break, Sidekick Style
P.S. - if you're interested in Buffy and Willow's side of the adventure, the companion piece to this is Spring Break, Slayer Style, a Forever Knight crossover.
