bookish dreamer

Gah! You know, I'm really not sure about recs for X/T because, as you said, there are few (at least in my experience) which are not a threesome. I think a lot of writers don't want to violate Tara's strongly-established sexual identity, which I certainly understand and support, though I do think that Xander and Tara present an interesting dynamic, at least beyond canon. Most of the sole X/T I've read are strictly friendship fics, but according to others, a small movement is growing to pair them romantically. As for Xander/Darla, I've been literally searching for years, and the amount of available story is truly miniscule. A lot of people express dismay when I mention I'm intrigued by this couple, but I believe they have all the same potential romance and drama as Buffy/Angel. I'm actually working on my own Xander/Darla, but as it's really my first time writing the pairing, I don't expect it to be very good.

Anyway, here are some links of the X/D stories of which I am familiar:

sexymermaid was kind enough to write me an X/D drabble found here (http://sexymermaid.livejournal.com/235931.html), entitled "The Dance."

xanfan27 also wrote an X/D drabble for me in her spring_with_xan entry. It's called "Jealousy," and can be found here (http://community.livejournal.com/spring_with_xan/33957.html#cutid1).

There are a couple of X/D stories on this (http://www.geocities.com/pilamsega/thesire.html) site, too.

I think there are also some on the USCL site, but you really have to hunt for them.

Hope it helps! BTW, I'm a big fan of yours! Your stories are beautiful; thank you for sharing them with us.
