Why this must be read:
Because I won't have Internet access due to moving on the 15th, I'm posting this crossover rec tonight. I waffled between an Alex Krycek/Brian Kinney PWP and a QAF/Smallville PWP with Clark/Lex/Brian, but then I remembered this one, which I can't resist pointing out.

An AU based on "The Killer in Me" (7x13), if Spike had left when he offered, and Xander had settled in Pittsburgh after the events of season 7. This is a WIP series, but I'm recommending Rain (and the sequels Snow and Sun) because the story stands alone as a good, if unusual, crossover of two fictional universes. The tone of the Hazy Shades of Winter series is dark, but I like these characterizations of Spike and Xander out of their canon millieu.

Rain followed by Snow and Sun
