New Things Series




A crossover Series with The Sentinel. Xander gets drugged by the Initiative and strange things happen, sending him down a new course in life. Watch Xander struggle to get and maintain control. Watch Oz fight against himself. Watch Xander and Oz fight to hold onto what they should have and build something that is strictly them.

This series is written in groups as a single story line. The first story line is all marked 1-#, etc. If it helps you understand it, consider it chapters in a single story, all of part one is chapters in the first story and so on. (PG and x/o unless noted)
