I had read this in the past, lost it, and then found it again thanks to the good readers of bloodclaim. So why do i like this story? I love visions of Xander as a successful & independent man after the demise of Sunnydale. I want him to break free of the girls b/c there is a point when you have to be selfish. I also love that he has continued to follow a passion - restoration. The visuals of his home -- the place & the building, i covet both -- are clear, warm & inviting. I can see Xander in this place, curled up in front of the fire with Spike.

Its also true to the character. In that once free from the "saving the world" Xander would indeed so no to Spike because though he may love him completely, Xander knows he cannot go back to that roll.

I love that the others are so accepting, and so genuinely happy at Xander's success. While i enjoy buffy or willow bashing now & then, I also like the reminder that they canon-wise they were also friends - family.

So, yeah, the story is smooshy & perhaps sappy at times -- its a warm, fuzzy story about love, and growing-up, a little angst, and figuring out how to go on, and finding that which you thought was lost. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that type of story, because it fills that need for companionship and a happy ending.

I'm glad you wrote and shared this story.

In Sunlight or Shadow Sequel?

I love your story and I was wondering if possibly... are you going to do a sequel? I hate sad endings, I was upset that Xander had to die again for real this time. It kinda messed up the ending I had planned out in my head, I'm one of those 'and they lived happily ever after' kinda girls.

Anyways, loved the story but not so much the ending.

Hi.

Hi there! I was looking for buffy icons and yours were the best. I just wanted to know more about the spike/xander pairings and what are the gay icon from? I think it's Queer As Folk Us, but I haven't seen it, so that's just a wild stab in the dark.

Hi, I hope I am doing this right.

I was put onto 'Gingerbread Homes and Christmas Wishes' by LadyQ, who does a wonderful job of keeping me informed of good stories and authors for my site The Spander Files http://spanderfiles.com/

I would really like to add you.

This is a wonderful story and I'm so pleased LadyQ pointed me your way.

My site is just an archive site for Spander stories, grouped into categories.


May I archive you please? Do you have more Spander stories I may add?

Gingerbread Homes and Christmas Wishes

Hi, Darling,

I've just discovered this story on the Spander Files and am going to find it difficult
to say just how much I loved it.

The story was written so originally although the basics of it are pretty well
standard. The quality of the writing was stupendous - especially considering that you're only a baby! Your presentation is so mature and well constructed and, thank god for gay males wwriting slash now and again, the sex was miles away from the all-too-frequent cliche. I have to say that, for me, the whole thing reverberated with echoes of Repossession - and I don't say that lightly.

Thank you for a gorgeous Christmas story, you old romantic you, I loved it and, when I get around to updating my website would love to include it in my Spander recs.

*Hugs and kissses and a million good wishes for the new year*
