Buffy: Carpentry by Nwhepcat
Carpentry (Xander | G | 700 words) has Xander and carpentry. So so beautiful and insightful, adding on to Xander's character in a way that works. And, oh, it ends on just the right note. The story evokes so many emotions without a single one feeling forced.
Excerpt:
He breathes in the fragrance of wood. Some part of him, he thinks, knew he'd found his calling back in shop class when he learned that this scent spoke to some quiet place deep inside him. Strange how the wood doesn't release its richest perfume unless you torture it. Cut it down, cut it up, kill the living thing to create something. Sometimes it's something beautiful, meant to last an age. Sometimes it's a Wal-Mart hutch.
