The thing about life was that as soon as you thought everything was on the track to getting better, the world reminded you about how miserable you really were

Prompt Notes: Inspired by [info]tamingthemuse prompt #304 - Dystychiphobia (the fear of accidents)
Notes: Okay, two weeks in a row now, the tamingthemuse prompt has stomped on me and laughed. But fortunately, I have friends like [info]trillingstar and [info]ozsaur, who put on their shit-kickers and stomped right back. This week, Trill suggested a play on the Buffy episode where Amy casts a love spell on Xander that has almost every woman in Sunnydale chasing him down. Bam. Just like that - I saw the light.  Okay, so maybe not exactly like that.  Actually, there was description of school buses and kiddies and even some ALL CAPS.  So thanks, Trill!  Hopefully, now that the moving is mostly out of the way, Xandercles will be back next week! Enjoy!
