Shirokishi Chapter 2?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Bleach
Fic Summary: I started writing this ages ago and do not remember what I was doing (besides the fact that it was kinda derivative). I do kinda like the concept of someone Xander's saved falling for him, because he's usually the one on civilian duty even in canon, but, uh. I don't think I carried the concept out effectively. If you look closely you might see some XDH (which was written about the same time) and prototype I Hope Tomorrow's a Better day here. I'm not sure how many chapters but it's being labeled as alternative paths because I have no intention of doing anything other than potentially copying out what's currently written. The Shinigami Xander dressed as for Halloween is not Ukitake, but there are some similarities. That being said, Nanashi, the one he dressed as, is a...complicated case, with what I'd like to call flowing weaknesses. He also has tuberculosis and has mastered a somewhat forbidden Kidou art known as blood magic, meaning that as long as he can manage to move, he can draw sigils in the air with his own blood, essentially making himself stronger spiritually the weaker he is physically. He's still weaker physically, and if he's too busy coughing to use the Kidou it doesn't help. He's at risk of getting severely hurt if the enemy gets too close, and there's also the risk that if he relies too heavily on the blood magic he could draw too heavily on his own life force and die. Fortunately, he doesn't have to muster the breath to cast the Kidou, just mouth the words. I had it not be Ukitake because I wanted to play with the blood magic concept. At the same time, I had fun playing with the idea of how the Scoobies would deal with a Xander who could both take care of himself and was really fragile. Spoiler alert: they have no idea and are really inconsistent, because they have trouble with complicated concepts, so they're kind of inconsistent. The Scoobies like to deal in absolutes: Angel is bad, magic is good, I have to handle things myself. So a complex situation baffles them a little bit. (Even Xander, though like everyone else he likes to pretend he's got it under control.)
Marcus, like most of Ichigo's friends, can see spirits. He's also rich, with a controlling family who definitely wouldn't condone his orientation or hanging out with the Scoobies.
Not sure if this is the next 'part' but it's here so I'm uploading it. I still haven't copied out the rest. I don't think. This part kind of ends on a cliffhanger, sorry about that.

Pairing: Xander/Marcus
Warnings: there is a kiss. xander's too shocked and weak to reciprocate, but it could be read as dubcon, so I'll warn for that. also nanashi->therefore Xander also has tuberculosis, just like Ukitake, so. I feel like that is some kind of warning.
