Worst thing about this pairing

(Anonymous) 2013-10-14 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Is that it's the ONLY active Xander pairing in the Buffy fandom. You'll get the occasional het ships with him as background, and crossovers where he's paired with any and everybody, but the only consistently written pairing for Xander that I've seen is Spander. It's aggravating to someone who doesn't ship this, at all! Where is all the other slash? Xander/Riley, Xander/Oz, Xander/Graham, Xander/Andrew, hell, Xander/Angel(us)? It's even more popular than the canon pairings! Faith, Anya, Cordelia, still less than the Spike stuff.

In the early days of Buffy fandom I seem to recall a lot of Xander/Angel. Next to Spander, isn't that a fairly large sandbox?

A lot of Buffy fic was lost when sites like geo cities went under so there may have been (and I do remember a site with several Xander/Riley/Graham fics)more but there aren't any on the main ff archives anymore

It's much harder to find. I'm with you Nonnie.

I noticed last night when I was going through my recs, that I had a fair amount of recs for Xander paired with other people.

I don't have time to go through and pull out for you this morning. Here's the link to my recs: http://lunabee34.dreamwidth.org/tag/recs:+btvs

Be aware that the further back in time you go, the more dubious quality the fic recced might be. My tastes have changed over the years. :)
