 Summary:  Angel and Xander’s developing relationship is threatened.  Will they be haunted by the outcome?

Previous Parts

 

Part 3:

 

Angel spent the next day searching for contractors to do the needed work on the house.  He wanted to keep as much of the work local as he could and tried to find specialists in restoration.  It went surprisingly well and he had appointments with several firms over the next few days.

 

He called L.A. and talked to Wes, Fred, and Spike, reassuring them all that he was okay.  Angel didn’t really think they believed him but he really was doing better than expected.  Except for the whole seeing Xander’s ghost thing.  He kept that to himself, agreeing with Xander’s wish for just a little more time.  Even a few minutes a day was better than never seeing him again.

 

Now he was sitting in front of a fire in the library, sipping a glass of blood and reading one of the books he’d found on the shelves.  There wasn’t much of a selection but it was better than staring into the fire, waiting and hoping for Xander to appear. 

 

Just as he had the thought, he felt Xander’s presence and looked over to see him sitting in the chair opposite him, grinning at Angel.  “Don’t say it.”

 

Xander laughed.  “What?  I can’t make fun of you now?  Say you’re acting your age all huddled up in front of the fire with a book in hand that’s thicker than my arm?”

 

Angel smiled and put the book aside.  “Exactly.  No making fun allowed.”

 

“Not gonna happen.  But you know that.  So what have I missed?”

 

Angel recounted his day and showed Xander the plans he’d drawn up for the work on the house.  Xander pointed out a few additions that he needed to make and Angel added them to the list. 

 

Then they just sat in front of the fire for a while.  He’d never thought that Xander would be able to sit in silence but he was constantly surprised by him.  Angel ached to hold him again and knew that Xander felt the same way.  They never spoke of it but the desire was there in their eyes for both to see.

 

Los Angeles

 

Lindsey McDonald paced, waiting for the latest update.  He was getting irritated at the lack of information and was beyond ready to move forward with his plans.   Angel was out of the way, falling for the ancestral home bit just as Lindsey had known he would.  He was creating a train of dominoes and knew he had to move carefully or risk knocking everything down before he was ready.

 

His cell phone finally rang and Lindsey answered it after the first ring.  “What have you got?” 

 

“He’s apparently going to renovate just as you suggested.  We’ve got a contractor lined up to meet with him.  Everything is in place.”

 

“Excellent.  And the other?”

 

“Everything is well.  There’s a few weird things going on but the doctor says that’s just a side effect of the drugs.  We’re keeping a close eye on the situation.”

 

“Good.  Keep me updated.  This is our best chance.  I don’t want any mistakes.”

 

“Understood.”

 

Lindsey snapped the phone shut and smiled.  Oh this was going to be good.  The dominoes were lining up perfectly.  He just needed to be patient so he could knock them all down.

What is Lindsay up too. What has that home in Ireland got to do with it. If Lindsay thinks he can control both Angel and Xander boy is he in for a surprise. Something tells me Xander will figure this out first. And then tell Angel. When that happens Lindsay had better find a rock to hide under. Great chapter. Update soon.

Oh dear...what is my boy doing now? *cringes* It can't be good. I hope you punish him...lots ;-)

From: [identity profile] jasonsnene.livejournal.com


LOL. Told you this one should come with an Ash warning. *smooch*

From: [identity profile] grneyedwoman.livejournal.com


AH HA! Side effects. A whole lot going on here. *Big grin on my face*
Hugs

From: [identity profile] davinci-1985.livejournal.com


You have definite evil tendencies.

I can't wait to see next part, to know what is Lindsay up to.

PS: Completely unrelated to this post, but what are you going to do with Memoirs of a Harem boy?

From: [identity profile] jasonsnene.livejournal.com


Evil tendencies. Yep that's me. :D


Funny you should ask about Harem. I just worked on it today. The next part is finished but I'm unhappy with it and keep putting off posting it. Sigh. Guess I should just post it and move on and quit making you guys wait, huh?

Can I kick Lindsey's ass...um...just a little bit? Please...

From: [identity profile] jasonsnene.livejournal.com


Sure you can! But only if I can kick Angel's in your fic. What's with us torturing the boys???

From: [identity profile] vampsarecool.livejournal.com


Da hell. LINDSEY?! You must update soon cause I'm all ticked off.

From: [identity profile] jasonsnene.livejournal.com


Eep! Don't be all ticked off!! I'm editing the next part now. Should be up in the next day or two.

From: [identity profile] schnuffie.livejournal.com


Evil, evil, evil, evil you! Ha, I soooo know you are evil! *grrrrrrr* :))))))
More-more-more!!! PLEAAAAAAASEEEEEEE...

Poor Angel! What´s Lindsey up to??? *sigh*
More parts - more questions... :)))
That´s what you want, isn´t it??? *you are a such a SCHLINGEL* <- sorry don´t know who to translate that word, ha! But you are... :))))

From: [identity profile] jasonsnene.livejournal.com


lol. I'm not evil! I swear it!! :D

More very soon, I'm working on it.

Uh...SCHLINGEL? *is puzzled yet giggling*

From: [identity profile] schnuffie.livejournal.com


*hehehehe* Yes you are: a Schlingel. :PPPP
Here we say that to people who are evil, but in a really "cute" way!!!

From: [identity profile] kimalis.livejournal.com


poor angel, maybe he can call Whoopi and they can make some clay pots or something.

BAD Lindsay, oh he needs a good spanking. Let me know if i can take care of that for you. ;)

From: [identity profile] jasonsnene.livejournal.com


ROFL. I can just imagine a Angel/Xander making the clay pot moment! BWA HA HA HA HA

Heh, Lindsey needs more than a spanking. You should see the little ficcie I'm doing to make sure he gets what he deserves.

From: [identity profile] sablerose2.livejournal.com


Oh I told ya W&H had something to do with this HA! Lindsey is in for a world of hurt when the dominoes start to fall cause they never go quit the way you want them too.

Until the next update will be here waiting.

From: [identity profile] jasonsnene.livejournal.com


lol. W&H is predictable in its evilness isn't it? And you're probably right about those dominoes...

Next update soon!

From: [identity profile] lil-coyote.livejournal.com


Ha! I say HA! *bouncebounce* I think I'm on the right track with this one! C'monc'monc'mon! Gotta find out what's gonna happen!

From: [identity profile] mendenbar01.livejournal.com


So how did Lindsey manage to drug Angel (I presume his blood supply)? This is gonna so backfire on Lindsey. Lovely and luscious as always, Filbert!

From: [identity profile] zoesmith.livejournal.com


Oooooh!!! Ooooh!! OH MY GOD!!!

Lindsey is plotting again!! And Xander is alive and when Angel finds out *shudders* he's gonna go nuts!!

What a great chapter hun! This is getting better and better!

xoxoxo

From: [identity profile] jasonsnene.livejournal.com


Heh! I think I'd better stick Lindsey back in the elevator soon. :D

From: [identity profile] stangelove.livejournal.com


seems to me, Xander is alive and very drugged up. It seemed hokey to me that they wouldn't let Angel see the body. Lindsay obviously needs to keep Angel busy elsewhere for awhile. As usual he is going to deserve the ass kicking to come.

In a way this will be good for the boys to get know each other better. the easy banter and Xander helping Angel. They kind of went from "hating" each other to f-ing their brains out. they kind of skipped the friendship part, so this will help them build that up and make their relationship stronger.

From: [identity profile] loki-fox.livejournal.com


Oh, interesting chapter, and Lindsey...that's always a plus in my book. I want to see how these dominos are going to land too, that boy is always up to something. :p

I will say I'm a bit surprised at Angel, you'd think he be all over trying to find a way to bring his honey back to the living, instead he's working on house repairs?

Very interested to see how everything pulls together. :)

From: [identity profile] jasonsnene.livejournal.com


I just can't help making Lindsey the villain. He's just so good when he's bad. :D

I don't think Angel would bring Xan back, especially after what happened to Buffy. But you never know...heh.

I have a theory~


Xander isn't actually dead. Lindsey somehow got the surgeon to fake his death -- which would explain why they wouldn't let the group see Xander's body coz Angel would've been able to tell he wasn't really dead. And so, now, Lindsey's trying to plot Angel's downfall (yet again), and Xander's having an out of body experience.

Am I right?

Re: I have a theory~


...You gave me ESP. After I posted my comment, I went ahead and finished the rest of the Haunted chapters.


It was scary how it unfolded exactly as I thought it would.

So the question is:

Do I think like you, or do you think like me?

From: [identity profile] jasonsnene.livejournal.com

Re: I have a theory~


Heh. I totally giggled when I read your previous comment. I was like DANG! No surprise there! I'm predictable!

So, let's just suppose that you think like me. Cause really, it's just more fun that way. LOL

P.S. Put your year of birth on your profile so I can approve you at Rogues and Darker xander. :D

From: [identity profile] wolfchamp-2003.livejournal.com

Re: I have a theory~


Thilly gooth, the year is already up there.

And really, if I think like you, then you obviously think like me -- I can't really decide which is scarier.


Either way, Haunted was really good. As was New Order. And Breaking Through. And Honor Bound. And Rebellious Desires. And-- you get the point, right?

=D

Re: I have a theory~


I'm obviously loosing my mind cause I totally don't see it. All the smut is obviously scrambling my brain cells.

We should just think scary together. I like that. And when I get stuck on a story, I'll know who to call. You can just read my mind and tell me what to write.

Glad you enjoyed Haunted and the others. I'm having a blast writing. :D

From: [identity profile] wolfchamp-2003.livejournal.com

Re: I have a theory~


It says right there - 1989-06-13. And pssssssssh to the smut comment. It is scientifically proven (somewhere) that sex and sexual encounters actually heighten the senses.

I think, m'dear, that we could make a beautiful partnership. I'll just my handy dandy Vulcan mind tricks (ahaha, Xander <3) and pull those tricky words right out of your brain.

And is it sad that I totally got distracted by a pretty piece of fiction, and totally forgot I was writing this? I miss Xanzpet...

From: [identity profile] jasonsnene.livejournal.com

Re: I have a theory~


Heh. It totally wasn't showing me the DOB. Weird. Oh well, you're approved now. :D

Does it say somewhere that *writing* about sex and sexual encounters heightens the senses? Cause if so, I'm so heightened. If not, uh...no comment. :P

Heh. Vulcan mind trick. Heh. Yep, it would be a beautiful partnership. Except if you got my writers block. Cause eww...tis no fun.

I always get distracted by Xanzpet. Sigh. I must squish him and make him come back.

From: [identity profile] wolfchamp-2003.livejournal.com

Re: I have a theory~


If not, then you're in the same boat I am and just considered a smutty freak. Although, and this is a serious discrepancy, I cannot write a lemon to save my life. I've tried, so many times, and I just... freeze up. I can't write foreplay, I can't write the act... I can read lemons with the best of them, but I can't write them. It's a tragedy.

I meant to put 'use my Vulcan mind tricks' but my brain was working too fast and my fingers couldn't keep up :[

Why did he leave? I just recently decided to revisit xanzpetfiction, and yet again got hooked on all of his stories. But he's not ever gonna update again, is he? And I kind felt like my daddy died when I realized that. Coz he was -- is one of the Great Ones (capital G, capital O, kthnx) and I miss him.

Re: I have a theory~


Smutty freaks of the world...UNITE! :D

I never thought I could write them either...but then, I got bit by a rabid plot bunny (New Order) and just sat down and started writing. I was as surprised as the next person!!

Don't know why xanzpet left. He didn't really tell any of us, and he and I were pretty good friends. But his writing partner is still updating a few stories so we can still get our fix. I know he's still writing, so woo hoo! :D

From: [identity profile] wolfchamp-2003.livejournal.com

Re: I have a theory~


I've tried everything to write one. I once put on Barry White and blocked everything out and just typed with my eyes closed, but it read like a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad Ron Jeremy movie. With gay people. And childish euphemisms.

I think I'm destined (Digitally, of course) to be a Gen writer. I can't even really do happy thoughts. If you go to my journal, I think I have my story 'Your Favorite Sweater' up there. That's about the extent of my genres. Angst, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand... Angst. Even my poems are pretty angsty. I'm an Angst Machine :]

We should convince him to come back. Coz xanspet is the original Boss.
