Place of Despair

Well, there's a story behind this one.  Short version is I watched a bunch of Judgment, then started watching Yakuza 0, and I'll have an idle thought/prompt coming along that will be too late 'cause I don't have the patience to wait to post this.  The Yakuza/Like a Dragon series has the same sort of goofy/serious balance I love & is present in Buffy.  So I got to thinking about poor one-eyed Majima who's awesome but such a tragic figure and one-eyed Xander and then Angelus came along and also I apparently have no self-control.  This is the result.  I will be tagging Yakuza because I am warping the space-time continuum again as well as the Buffy timeline and am placing Ethan's debut in Season 3, including a Majima!Xander (which I probably won't be writing as this version of Xander has his special brand of crazy). 
Xander keeps using Angel instead of Angelus until he knows better.  I'm using it because I'm slowly burning through my available tags.
I probably could have split this up, but it feels better as a bunch of vignettes.
The warnings for this one are no joke.
An allergy attack contributed some to the writing here, and I worked with that and one hand that can type.
