Why this must be read:

In the interest of full disclosure, I should admit that this fic was written for me in a [livejournal.com profile] maleslashminis fic exchange. I'm not recusing myself from reccing it, though, because it's quite possibly the most adorable Xander/Riley AU out there. In this fic, Xander is an elementary school teacher, and Riley is the father of one of his students. This story is sweet without being treacly, and it makes me smile every time I read it.



What wasn't in the file, because Xander hadn't known, and apparently Tommy F's first-grade teacher had forgotten to mention, was that Tommy F's dad was hot. Not just reasonably attractive; this was California, and it was second grade, so a lot of the parents were young and good-looking. Tommy F's dad, on the other hand, was the kind of guy Xander would notice in a bar and immediately classify as out of his league.

Of course, in this particular instance, he was also the parent of one of Xander's students, so he was off-limits no matter what. "Hi," Mr.--oh, crap, what did the F stand for? Xander sucked at remembering his students' last names--said, offering his hand for Xander to shake. Good handshake. Nice, firm grip. "I'm Riley Finn."


Go. Read. Love. Tell the author.
