Title: Family Trust
Pairing: Spike/Xander, Connor, Dru
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Not mine, never will be. No harm, no foul, no money made.
Notes: The past, present and future adventures of baby!vamp!Xander and his family.



Promises Kept

Xander, curled in a ball around one of Spike's shirts, rocked, whimpered and babbled to keep the terrors at bay.

"He's going to come back, he is, he will. He won't leave us alone. 'Going off to do a bit of business before we leave this dump'. He said, he's coming back. We're not gonna be alone. Don't panic, don't freak, don't make a fuss. Don't make him angry, make him leave, won't leave."

Spike heard the mumbling as soon as he opened the door, and cursed the fact that he'd had to leave his new childe alone so soon.



Waiting For The Cavalry

Crooked gravestones, wizened trees, grass that bit too long - the cemetery looked like it was stolen from a movie set. Xander bumbled his way between the tumbledown crypts, tripping over lumps of fallen masonry and tree roots. The noise he made was almost loud enough to wake the dead, but he was set on luring out the slayer pack in town.

Seven, maybe eight, untrained slayers had joined forces, feral instincts always to the fore when darkness fell. Spike had heard the rumours, formed a plan and called the family in, and Xander got to play the bait. Again.



Implicitly

Connor lay in Xander's lap, limp and frail and lifeless, and Xander didn't even try to resist the temptation to taste. He bent and licked the score marks left by Dru's sharp nails, shallow grooves of red across a narrow, muscled chest. The power that sang in even that tiny sample made him groan, and he lifted his head and caught Spike's curious gaze. He froze, and then blinked as Spike returned his attention to the road without even trying to warn him off from biting, deep and true.

Trust. Unasked for, though not unwanted. Trusted with Angelus' precious child.

I'm really loving all of the baby-baby!vamp!xander stories. I love the way you play with vampire clans and family relationships, where they intersect with our own and where they diverge. It's like an anthropological study of them. If anthropologists could write. Which they can't. Really, really can't. Really.

*glares at old anth text*

Oh these were beautifully dark. Each makes me worry and want to find out what is next. Love the middle one best, though hard to pick.

Thanks! Xander was never really trusted not to screw something up before, so he's kinda shocked at Spike not even thinking twice. :D

Thank you! Baby!vamp!Xander's insecurities are legion, but Spike is patient and loves him madly so he'll do whatever it takes to make Xander feel safe and happy. :D
