Stumbled across this series when you updated it with Pyro. I'm amazed that I haven't found it before. It's a great concept and I like how you're mixing and matching Xander into the various X-Men characters yet with a distinct Buffy-verse feel.
You definitely need to continue this series, I'm enjoying it a lot.
May I suggest Armor and maybe the Beast soon? Since you've done most of my other favorite X-Men characters, I'm looking forward to your interpretation of them.

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it so much. Truth be told, though, I think that Armor's abilities are too similar to 'Colossus', but Beast is definitely in the cards.
Also, if I'm being entirely honest, the odds of an update here are slim.

Marrow, not really. I kind of already did the powers in 'Spyke'. Storm... I'm conflicted. I'd kind of like doing it, and it wouldn't even be particularly difficult, but the power to manipulate the weather to the extent that Ororo can is way too powerful for the Buffyverse.
It had nothing to do with the story proper, which was fairly decent but really almost an intro/outline rather then a story per se, but the very firs thing that started going through my head as soon as I reached the end was /Disco Inferno/. *shrug*
EDIT: I should say, it had nothing to do with the text of the story. Just the feel of the story itself.

Fair enough, truth be told this probably should have been longer, but I've just been staring at it for months and finally accepted that this is just where 'Pyro' comes to an end.

Oh, that is almost perfect. There is that episode where he lights that book on fire so this is almost plausible. I could so see this one happening as well. Not in the humorous way like last chapter, but in the steely glimmer of dancing fire that lurks beneath. The cackle that you just know wants to let loose a la Hyena Xander. I could so see it.
Comments from author:
Not so much 'Hyena Xander', more 'likes to set things on fire and watch them burn' Xander, but, yeah, pretty much. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Nice new chapter. It cut off a little sooner than most of them do, they usually show him defeating at least one big bad with his powers, or at least a bunch of vampires. Although considering the power of flame, I think we can probably imagine how he'd defeat vampires.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and, yeah, it's a lot shorter than most of them are, but I've just been staring at it for months now with nothing new coming out, so...

Interesting start up to a Pyro Xander, though within the length of this short it kinds of lacks a tie in to the bit about watchers killing people. I would of expected something along the lines of so much death feeding the hellmouth and te blood of thousands of innocents distills into Xander or something like that.
Comments from author:
Yeah, I think that I originally planned for this one to involve Xander running afoul of the Watchers, but then... I don't know, I just left it alone for too long and couldn't manage to come back to it.
