shakatany | A Favorite Fic: My Scorpion (S/X)

firehorse's My Scorpion is a beautifully written fic that goes AU sometime around the beginning of S5. In this tale Xander goes to Spike with a proposition: he'll help Spike with the chip and in return Spike is to take Xander with him when he leaves Sunnydale. What I liked was that it's all Xander's idea--he goes to Spike and propositions him. Xander knows what he wants and so does Spike. It's the perfect example of why Spander is my favorite 'ship--they are usually two bois who are equals and, as this Spike says, belong to each other. For me the icing on the cake of this wonderful fic was the epilogue. I always appreciate times when kindness is rewarded.

BTW: there's a set of photos mentioned at the end--I wonder if anyone's ever tried to make a real version of them especially the last *drool*
