I'm taking some of my stories and rewriting them to improve them. I've spend a couple of hours expanding on Share and Share Alike, which I'd originally kept as a pure drabble.
Note: Xander is watching a Babylon 5 episode, “The Parliament of Dreams”

“After we're married, half of your money will be mine.”

What the hell? Anya could see he was watching the tv. Couldn't that towering pile of wedding magazines keep her busy for at least one episode? Xander clicked up the volume. - How's your aunt? - How's your brother? I can't believe I'm going through all this with you again.

“Xander.” Anya yanked the control out of his hand and muted the volume. “Were you listening to me? Once we're married, half of what’s yours is mine.”

“Yeah, and half of what's yours will be mine.” The control was right there, lying on the couch between them. Knowing better than to pick it up, Xander stared at the tv and added in the muted dialog. - Will you follow me into fire? Into storm? Into darkness? Into death?

Anya's magazine hit the coffee table with a heavy thud. “That's not fair. I worked hard for my money.”

“And my job's a picnic in the park?”

“That's different.”

“It always is honey.”

“So I get to keep my money?”

“Nope, once we two become one, it's share and share alike.” Oh God, unless … unless she caught on to prenups before the wedding. Before she could read the terror on his face and ask what he was thinking, Xander grabbed the control and turned on the volume. - Taste of it and be not afraid. For I am with you to the end of time.
