Comments and Disclaimers for "untitled Spike/Xander fic pieces"

A/N: Here's another extremely fanon-driven fic I played around with a couple years back. The premise: there's some sort of prophecy (when isn't there?) that puts Xander in danger because he has a "pure soul" or some such. Giles comes up with the solution of putting a little tarnish on that soul by binding Xander to a demon, namely, Spike. (Yeah, now I could find plot holes big enough to drive a truck through in that, but back then it sounded good to me.) Giles uses a binding spell, something like a mating ritual (of course) and it has unforeseen side effects, like the fact that Spike is now bound permanently to Xander and his demon sees Xander as his mate, something Spike doesn't know how to deal with. Xander doesn't understand the effects the way Spike does and just deals with it by treating Spike as a friend.

Of course, I'd eventually planned for Spike and Xander to fall madly in love and be so thrilled that they were bound together for eternity (with immortality for Xander), but I never did more than play around with a few scenes before abandoning it. Which is fortunate, because the characterization is more than a little OOC, the fanon is just painful, and despite some interesting concepts floating around in there, it never would've made a good fic.
