make it excellent

this could probably be seen as this ‘verse’s version of Slayer’s Mad Whelp’s To Build a Home, only it’s not as stable a situation. It’s a little elaboration, really, on themes in stolen inheritance and son of a gun. As such, there are warnings. He’s trying to take care of himself, sort of, but he’s a complete disaster, and only about half of that is Constantine’s fault, the poor kid.

porting to Ao3 is going well!  though, uh.  there's a lot.
 

Main Points:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Constantine|Hellblazer
Summary: Giles looks after Xander, as much as he's allowed.
Word Count: 1448
Rating: Teen, with the warnings. because it wouldn't be constantine or hellblazer without the warnings
Warnings: underage drinking, mental health issues, themes of self-harm, vague discussion of familial abuse (the Harrises), both of which of the latter are pretty strong in the chosen song for this fic (but “I need your love the most when I least deserve it” and themes match the general state of him). Viewer discretion advised; take care and seek help if you need it!
