For the

lynnevitational, I've posted the first two chapters of my new S/X fic, If I Can’t Dance. I plan to have chapter three ready for next week.

Title: If I Can’t Dance
Author:

cordelianne
Chapter: 1 & 2 /?
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Rating: R
Word Count: Chapter One: 1,496, Chapter Two: 1,653
Summary: Set in season 5 and basically follows canon, although there will be twists and changes along the way. Chapter One begins shortly after "Buffy Vs Dracula" and Xander's line: "As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt-monkey!" Chapter Two takes place before and after "The Replacement."
Beer is definitely of the good. Beer makes the bad stuff seem all fuzzy.
Xander drinks some more beer and glances around the Bronze. It’s the usual Monday night deadness. Not actual dead people, just the not-many-people deadness.
A/N: Written for the

OK, I promised myself I wouldn't start any more WIPs, even if they're less than 10 chapters. But I read this anyway & really liked it & want to read the whole thing *right now*!! (It's sweet & funny & I expect it will continue that way, plus of course, Spandery hotness.)

I'm pleased that you checked out the story and are enjoying it! It's great that you're finding it sweet and funny - and there will be Spandery hotness at some point (hopefully soon)! I have parts of the story finished and am working to get the rest done - I plan to have chapter 3 up this Sunday. Thanks so much! :D
