Mockingbird: Chapter 8 Author: sparrow2000 Characters: Xander/Spike, Willow, OC’s Rating: PG overall Warnings: Angst, slash and character death Disclaimer: Joss and Mutant Enemy et al own everything. I own nothing Summary: Xander is still coming to terms with the events in Magpie , but forces outside his control seem disinclined to leave him alone. Note to the unwary: If you haven’t read Magpie , which is an Xander, Spike non-slash story, Mockingbird probably won’t make much sense.*g* Beta extraordinaire: thismaz Thank you my dear, for all your thoughts and insights, your patience and your love. This story is so much better for your input. Mockingbird is dedicated to twilightofmagic. I swore I wasn’t going to write a sequel to Magpie, but her comments about the tantalizing possibilities wormed their way into my head and started to gnaw at my brain. Comments are petted and called George Status: Story is complete to first draft stage. Will be posted weekly following beta
