The Kin Series by lit_gal
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Angel the Series
Rating: M (Mature)

There are many of lit_gal's stories that I adore, but this epic and incredibly long series really is my favourite of them all.

Xander gets his mind blown, makes weird and wacky friends, somehow grows up and then eventually falls in love...with Angel. He lives through his world views doing a one-eighty and making friends with a very evil Spike, and creating a pseudo-pack/clan with Angel, Spike and Faith (and Cordelia...somehow), and through it all we watch as Xander grows up baffled and sometimes bruised, but better for it.

          Summary: When Xander has a little heart to heart with Angel, he inadvertently
          changes the world by sharing a few truths. The most significant change is a slowly
          building relationship between Angel and the boy who taught him a few unpleasant
          truths about destiny and morality.

This is an incredible series, and it never fails to draw me in, capture my attention with its amazing plot, gorgeous characterisations and character interaction, but it also keeps me captivated with a constantly shifting world of events that are fun, witty, painful, lovely and just incredible to behold!
