Because nobody likes a vague DISCLAIMER: All characters belong to the fantastical Joss Whedon.

Summary: A series of drabbles. "He's not right for Buffy, but maybe that's because I hope to be right for her." Xander's thoughts throughout the ages (aka seasons and beyond). His take on moments of Buffy's life (more specifically her men) and how it affects his own. Expect B/A mention!

Spoilers: Anything BTVS TV series and some Angel series canon.

A/N: I've always liked Xander as a character, even when he was just funny. Then, when he became the insider, the "heart" of the group it was interesting to see him grow into more than just comic relief. How he goes from a naive teenager who sees things in black and white, to the man who sees everything. I've always respected the conviction he has in his opinion, though I haven't always agreed with him. This is me trying to make sense of it all.

Reviews are always welcomed and appreciated!


PERCEPTIONS

She's the whole package, and it takes me all of a second to realize it. All of a second to lose myself in the sight of her, but i'm too preocupied with how I'm going to meet the girl to acknowledge the pain and embarrasment I should be in. Then, when I do, it takes all of a second for the dork in me to surface too. But I won't give up, despite the first impression she must have of me. Besides, I've got time to get her to warm up to me, it's only the first day after all.

Or so I thought.

Who's That Guy?

I don't like him. And it's not just my jealousy gland talking either. Something about him is just off. He's not right for Buffy, but maybe that's because I hope to be right for her. But deep down, I know I'm not. Never will be. I'm "one of the girls", I'll never transcend. Doesn't stop how I feel though. And Angel, well she's into that whole bad boy thing he has going on, I can tell. All girls are, why would she be any different? How I hate the way of the world.

At this point, the best I can hope for is that she'll tire of his good looks, or get a lobotomy.

Yeah, I don't like my odds either.
