what does he want with him once he reels him in?
There's the question. He wants Angel. And he sees Xander as a tool to snag Angel. But neither he nor I yet know how that might work (or not *g*)

I know nothing about Star Trek slash. I actually went with Spock and Bones because I always found Kirk too embarrassing to be taken seriously. Yep, Spike's thoughts on Kirk are really mine, while Xander's objections were me trying to be fair to the guy. *g*

Sorry about the pins in your feet. Hold still, I've got some tweezers here and I'll try and pull them out. What do you mean, you're sitting down? Oops, sorry, you're on your own there. *g*

Thank you for the lovely comment. I'm glad you are enjoying it.
