do you like Xander/Andrew? (if you do I have a really specific idea I love and fuck it lets share: one of those AU’s where your soulmates name appears on you one letter at a time over your life. Anyway Xander’s letters say ‘A’ and then ‘An’. It’s only on the day of his wedding he gets his third letter. ‘And’. So turns out Anya ISNT his soulmate and he does his whole canon running away breakdown thing)

Anon I am HONORED to be the person you think of when you think of Xander/Andrew. I hope to bear my title as the number one defender of mediocre Buffy men (affectionate) with the same humility and grace I've conducted myself with thus far. Unfortunately this is not my ship, but I like that it seems very in-character for Xander's (and Andrew's) love life to unfold in a dramedy of errors. I assume this also involves an absolute fucking crisis on Xander's part in s1 when Angel shows up.

#also obsessed with the implications this has for the rest of the world #how would willow react? what's on her hand? how does the impossibility of their romance factor into their relationship?#is angel on buffy's hand? how many letters? a = (it's him alexander omg)#an = (well maybe your soulmate is someone with the SAME letters has anyone considered that)#then angel shows up and it's 'oh no' and then anya shows up 'whew' and then the 3rd letter shows up as andrew looms wetly in the basement #do other people get married to their non-soulmates? is xander uniquely obsessed with this because of his insecurity that unless #he's not married to his 'soulmate' he'll somehow inevitably let them down?#does he use this as ammunition whenever he has a critique of one of his friend's love interests? that they're not each other's 'soulmates'?#are his PARENTS soulmates?#much to think about. i support your andrander aspirations anon #ask #btvs #xander harris #sure why not
