Pairing: Spike/Xander
Rating: R right now, will be NC17 in later chapters.
Disclaimer:Not mine, never will be. No harm, no foul, no money made.
Warnings/Squicks: Kinda fluffy at first. (~snerk~) Eventually there will be anamorphic smut and tail!p0rn.

Posted at: My journal and bloodclaim.
Beta(s): Who else? The wonderful kitty_poker1. Thanks love!
Notes: First of all: Happy Birthday darkhavens! Secondly, I blame this fic on a number of cartoons, animes, and various comics. The two biggest culprits are the short lived Jaguar comics from the 90's, and a book called Uhura's Song by Janet Kagan. Just imagine everything from X-Men to Star Trek being thrown into my head and shaken together until this fic falls out. And of course it's going to be muli-chaptered because I am unable to write a PWP.
Sigh. The things I'll do to write tail!p0rn.
Cat Magic: Chapter One.
“What did you do, Willow?”
“Xander, that's not fair! It's not always Willow's fault when something weird and magical happens!”
Xander turned to Buffy and growled. “It is when Willow's standing there with a guilty look on her face!” He turned quickly to glare at Willow and she gave a little squeak. “WHAT DID YOU DO?!”
“It was just a little spell. It wasn't supposed to do...that. I mean, I've been worried. You haven't really dated anyone for over a year now – since Cordelia, really – and I just wanted to make it easier for you to meet girls.”
Willow looked like the six year old with her hand caught in the cookie jar that she used to be, big eyes and tears hovering on her eye lashes. That didn't touch Xander at the moment; he was just too angry. He also ignored Spike snickering in the door way behind him. He'd settle with Spike later. Buffy was chuckling behind her hand and looking guilty too, so she'd been in on this as well.
“So you decide, for my own good and without my permission, that I need to date so you turn me into some sort of cat man?!! I look like a reject from a bad anime cartoon, or one of the fifth string X-Men! How the hell is that supposed to help me pick up women?!”
Xander couldn't believe it, couldn't believe that Willow would be so...manipulative. Well, yes he could but he thought he'd cut her off at the pass. He'd been gradually trying to get her to open her mind to the fact that he just might be gay, even talked to her about it once or twice! For her to go and put a spell on him was so uncalled for.
“Xander, it's not that bad. I mean...you look kind of cute!”
Spike all but doubled over laughing and Xander turned and hissed at him. “One more giggle out of you, Bleach Boy, and I'm using your duster as a cat scratcher!” Spike waved him away and Xander ignored him. He'd pay the vampire back later.
“CUTE!! Willow, my ears are almost on the top of my head. I have fur and claws. I HAVE A TAIL! A TAIL! I am not cute!”
Buffy snickered. “I wonder, if I scratch your tummy will you purr?” She then reached out and grabbed the tail that had been lashing behind Xander.
Xander felt his new ears flatten down to his head and he could hear a sort of coughing growl come out of his throat. His tail felt extra sensitive, and not in a good way at the moment since Buffy was yanking on it. Without even thinking he leaped at her, claws extended.
Before he could connect, though, someone had him by the neck and was shaking him. Xander stopped his attack, noticing how wide Buffy's eyes were. Still, he couldn't help but give another low coughing growl.
“Stop it, Harris!” Xander turned to look at Spike; he'd been the one keeping him from hurting Buffy. The vampire's true face was showing and for a moment Xander snarled back at him before even trying to stop. “Calm down, you git, before you cough up a furball!”
“Funny, Spike, real funny!” Despite his tone of voice, Xander didn't turn and claw at Spike. He couldn't help the way he was growling, or that his tail was lashing backwards and forwards or the way his shoulders hunched as if he was about to attack. He glared at Buffy. “Don't touch the tail!”
“I'm sorry, it's just so weird and I wanted to feel it...”
Xander snarled again, and Buffy put her hands up defensively. Willow's eyes were wide and she made a little eeping sound that Xander doubted he would have heard an hour ago. He swung around to look at her and she started to stammer.
“S—sorry, Xander, I'm so sorry! I know I can fix it, I just need a few ingredients...”
“Red, I think you've done quite enough. Come on, cat man, let's get you to the Watcher's.”
Xander allowed himself to be pulled out the door but still complained. “I can't believe you did this! Look at me, I'm a Thundercat!”
He continued to grumble all the way to Giles's apartment, with Spike walking in between him and the girls. The small part of Xander's brain that wasn't pissed off was glad; he didn't really want to hurt Buffy and Willow but he was seriously pissed off. No amount of brownies or cookies could make this go away, and not just because he doubted he could eat chocolate now.
As they walked in the courtyard to Giles's condo the girls pulled even further back. Spike looked at him and Xander could hear him whisper. “Best calm down a bit, luv, otherwise ol' Rupert might think he's under attack.”
Xander nodded and took a few deep breaths. It did help him stop growling to himself at least, and he could feel his hair lay down and his ears perk up. It was a very strange feeling, one he wasn't sure he could get used to. It was almost as if he was hypersensitive, especially under his clothes where his fur rubbed at the cloth. Then he pushed away the thought that he had fur because, really, that was weird and hopefully he wouldn't have it for long.
Xander couldn't do anything with his tail, and he was sure if he thought about that sentence too much his head would explode. Spike made a small move as if to tame it but stopped, probably thinking that Xander didn't want anyone touching his tail. Instead, Xander managed to bring it up and loop it around Spike's wrist twice, and got an amused glance for his efforts.
Xander just shrugged. The girls were going to find out about why he didn't need a girlfriend tonight anyway, so he might as well make himself happy, even if that did mean holding his lover's hand with his tail. He raised his hand and knocked on the door, and tried not to get fascinated with how his claws didn't seem that long at the moment but earlier had seemed long and razor sharp.
Then Xander realized he was looking at claws and started to freak out again. Spike gave his tail a small squeeze and it calmed him down. He could hear Giles move through the apartment and make his way to the door and grinned. If this new weirdness hadn't happened to him, he'd be bettting Spike about what Giles was going to say when he opened the door.
Xander made a small bet with himself as the door swung open. “Hey, Giles, I seem to be having a bit of a problem.”
Giles looked at him and blinked for a moment. “Oh, good lord!”
Xander bounced. He'd been right. Now he just had to hope that Giles could fix this. Otherwise, instead of Twinkies as a treat he was looking at a saucer of milk.
