Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9706397/6/"Well Captain, let me introduce you to my daughter, Princess Buffy," Joyce said dryly, not pleased with the way Buffy interrupted their fun.
"Ain't she a sight?" Xander asked with a smile, before adding in a sotto voice out of the side of his mouth, "I could smuggle a family of five off planet in the bottom of that dress and no one would know."
"Xander!" Buffy growled while Joyce broke up laughing.
"But seriously, if I turn up missing then send a search party into her petticoats. I'd send up a flare to mark my position, but ..." Xander broke off, easily dodging the slayer, whose movements were hampered by the dress.
"I'll get you yet!"
"Not in that medieval monstrosity," Xander swore, shaking his head. "The women from that time period were considered nothing more than property and thought everyone of lower social status than themselves were inferior animals."
"Not a fan of medieval society?" Joyce asked curiously.
"Big no on that one," Xander said. "Monarchy means a class system where the nobs, or nobility, could do far more than just get away with murder, because if a noble killed a peasant then it wasn't considered murder. I won't even go into how children were treated."
"Watching Disney with you must suck," Buffy said, shaking her head.
"Actually, it's a lot of fun," Willow disagreed, coming down the stairs in her traditional ghost costume. "The jokes can be a bit racy though."
"Jokes?" Joyce asked.
"Disney rewrote folk tales to make them more kid friendly," Xander explained. "The originals were filled with blood, sex, and tears. Happily ever after is a modern invention."
"So when you look at this beautiful princess dress…" Buffy said leadingly.
"I see oppression and bigotry unseen in centuries," he said bluntly. "I've talked to Giles and An- and others who know about the time period intimately, and they completely agree with my viewpoint. Today is much better than yesterday and I have high hopes for tomorrow as well."
"And yet you're dressed like a cowboy," Buffy pointed out.
"Space cowboy, thank you very much," Xander said. "The frontier requires a rougher sort of clothing and man than civilization, but rough doesn't have to mean bigoted or backwards."
