Pairing: Xigbar/Luxord
Rating/Warnings: PG/none really, just an occasional innuendo, blah blah blah
A/N: I abuse semicolons. . . I also cheat and use themes that were obviously meant to be nouns as verbs instead.
This was my first time ever writing Luxord, so I was like, 'Xigbar, yeah, let's write about Xigbar a lot!'
You can tell which ones I was struggling on. xD Or maybe not. Perhaps I'm just that good. Aha. It was much harder than I thought.
