Fic! Buffy 'verse. 'Reveille' - Adult, Spike/Xander

I have *never* been this late with a charity fic, and believe me - i hate that i am. I hit a writing wall so hard and so high, i didn't think i'd ever get over it.

I hope by finally finishing this, i've actually knocked the damn wall down.

This was written for a fandom_helps auction, to benefit Planned Parenthood. The very lovely baudown was kind enough to bid and win a Buffy/Angel/Firefly offering.

Sadly, the email with prompts was lost in an email 'incident', but they *did* request Spike/Xander. I went with - what would have happened if Xander had joined the Army, like Spike suggested, in 'The Yoko Factor'? I fudged the timeline a wee bit, so that Xander ended up in combat.

So - here's the fic! Hope you enjoy! 5,706 words.
Warning: Some semi-graphic scenes of battleground wounds and discussion of said wounds in a hospital setting. A bit more on the 'war is hell' side than not.


( Reveille )

I still owe *another* fic - a Supernatural fic in my Wolfpack 'verse. That is coming soon!
