(I actually wrote this over a year ago, I was just busy with other things and never got around to posting it.

So, finally, long after practically everyone else in Buffy fandom made their contribution, I’ve done my own Xander-in-Africa piece.)


Check and Mate
Copyright November 2008

Setting: Buffy, post-Season 7
Spoilers: “Chosen” (Buffy S7-22), “Damage” (Angel S5-11)
Summary: Xander. Africa.




“Who knew?” Xander mused. “A white Slayer in Africa, much less a married one? Usually, they’re teenagers.”

She smiled. “Clearly I’m no teenager. And I’m … amply protected.”

Xander glanced toward her husband: massive, bronzed, eyes steady as a leopard’s. “I’m getting that. Okay: you’ve been informed, and don’t need help. I’ll tell them.”

When he had gone, she asked, “John, did this ‘Slayer awakening’ reach me because the Kavuru potion keeps me young?”

“Perhaps.” He shrugged. “Trouble has always found us. Now, you can fight.”

“Better,” she said, kissing him. “Now, I can keep up with you in the trees.”

So let me know what you think!

No doubt to be followed by a new novel, Tarzan and the Vampires, which of course seriously underplays her contribution to the fight. Works for me...

As a long time Tarzan fan I thank you. :) I've got all kinds of pleasant ideas to follow me through the day now.

That's amusing, and what an excellent last line.
