No, your eyes don't deceive. It grew from 3 to 4 parts. Due to LJ posting limits, I couldn't fit the very final section of this story. Still, you won't mind waiting until tomorrow to read the very, very end, right? (*puppy eyes*)
 ( Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with, and then the different branches of arithmetic -- Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. ) | |

| Yes, of course there was a very short soundtrack for Behold Little Padawan! this story that I listened to while writing (it tends to happen with me). Anywho, I'm offering up the soundtrack if you want to download it. There's a 13-track listing with commentary, followed by the download link. It's...eclectic to say the least. There's no album art, primarily because I have no graphics-making skills. ( Behold Little Padawan Soundtrack )The management would love it if you would comment when you download.- Tags:character: andrew, character: ensemble, character: faith, character: oc, character: xander, fanfiction: 2007, fanfiction: behold little padawan, fanfiction: buffy the vampire slayer, fanfiction: fic-a-thon, soundtrack: 2007, soundtrack: fandom

| No, I didn't skip a part. I'm posting two parts back-to-back to cover my Monday and Tuesday postings. All parts can be found here. Continued from Part 4A. | |
|
| There'll be something of a two-fer tonight. Sorry about not updating this last week, but I had logic hole in this part. Considering it's an "Andrew" part, it was like finding a bent straw in a haystack so you can fix it. So, here's the Monday part, which will be quickly followed by the Tuesday part. All parts can be found here. Continued from Part 3B. | |
|
| As you can see, it's been a busy couple of "news days" for me, so I got caught up in chasing down RL stuff instead of fanfiction. Apologies for the interrupted service. Now, back to the story in progress. All parts can be found here. Continued from Part 2B. | |
|
| Busy weekend (notice, if you will, that I haven't been around). And busy tomorrow night. Think of this as my Monday posting for the next part. And apologies for not responding to comments. I will get to them. All parts can be found here. Continued from Part 2A. | |
|
| Stooopid LJ wouldn't let me post this next part in one piece. Gah. *growl snarl* After this, to bed. All parts can be found here. Continued from Part 1. | |

| *pets my liquid Kava Kava* Worked late tonight, due to a tight deadline. That and the fact that I tend to lose all track of time when I'm writing, and boy was I writing today. Of course, I stupidly over-caffeinated myself, which meant I had to do some self-medication to counteract the effects so I can actually fall asleep tonight. Ummm, the liquid Kava Kava it works a lot better than I thought it would. *stares at pretty colors for a little bit* Wha? Oh, yeah. This is a late b-day pressie for ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) nwhepcat to make up for the fact that there was no way in hell I was going to finish Water Hold Me Down in time for her b-day; my entry into the slayerversathon for mara_sho; and my very belated annual Christmas story. I won't be posting on weekends, just FYI, especially this one. I've got a busy one lined up. Title: Behold, Little Padawan! (aka Five Adventures Xander Harris Never Had Wrapped in One True Christmas Story)
Author: Lizbeth Marcs ( liz_marcs) Rating: PG (Language) Genre: Five Things, future fic, adventure, mystery, monster hunt Characters: Xander, Faith, Andrew, OCs Pairing: None (typical, hunh?) Warnings: Links to Snopes.com, the Urban Legends Reference Pages may lead to disturbing stories and/or images. Please click with caution. Summary: As Andrew tells five positively true (he swears!) stories about Xander Harris to a gaggle of Chicago Slayers, a stressed-out, exhausted Xander blows into town to help with a demon hunt. Toss in Faith who’s hopped on the bandwagon for reasons of her own, and it’s another classic Harris Christmas Special. Author’s Note: Set Christmas 2006.

The magi, as you know, were wise men — wonderfully wise men — who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest…. | |

| Today was MarcsMom's Unbirthday (yesterday being her Birthday), so I ended up hanging around the ol' homestead for a bit. By the time I scraped the thin ice off my car, dodged people driving either at 90 mph or 15 mph on the highways, and made it home, I was mentally exhausted and not up for another round of playing dodge-'em with people who've forgotten how to drive when it's cold and raining. This is a unique New England thing, I think. People tend to "forget" how to drive in snow and ice in between winters. While the roads aren't icey (yet), people were driving in crazy ways. Thanks to the unseasonably warm winter weather, I don't think anyone has their winter "driving legs," hence the chaos I encountered at several points on- and off- the highways. So, there went my plans for the day. (Note to self: Email apologies.) I come home to comments on the part of this story I posted Friday night. Some people want to see Kennedy. *looks around shifty eyed* What? *hangs head* I am weak like veal. Written for the Dark Xander Fic-A-Thon. All previous parts here. Continued from Part 3. - Tags:character: buffy, character: ensemble, character: faith, character: kennedy, character: oc, character: spike, character: willow, character: xander, fanfiction: 2006, fanfiction: buffy the vampire slayer, fanfiction: fic-a-thon, fanfiction: nobody never gets to heaven
