Absolution by The Prime Minister !
Rating: R
Pairing: Lina/Xellos, others
Warnings: m/f
>>: This series is the sequel to Circumnavigation and Penance, so you'll be rather lost if you don't read those first. It's an epic read, but trust me: if you're a L/X fan this is one story that you don't want to miss. If you read only one Slayers fic in your lifetime, make it this one!

...and what will stop it by Za Metallium
Rating: PG
Pairing: Lina/Xellos
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: “Love's what makes the world go 'round.”
>>: In other words, don't fuck with Lina.

Circumnavigation by The Prime Minister
Rating: R
Pairing: Zelgadis/Amelia, Lina/Gourry, Lina/Xellos
Warnings: one-shot, m/f
Summary: When Amelia falls ill Zelgadis, Lina, and Gourry reunite in Seyruun to search for a cure. Zelgadis finally starts coming to terms with his feelings for the princess, but saving her may mean giving up on his humanity and any chance he'll ever have with her. Meanwhile, Lina tries to work out her own feelings for Gourry. And what does Xellos have to do with all of this?
>>: This is the first story in the most epic Slayers saga ever written (in english, at least). You can't really call yourself a Slayers fan if you don't at least take a look at this.

Devil's Advocate by kitsuneonna
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Lina/Xellos
Warnings: wip
Summary: I love this summary: 'A heartwarming tale of horror! Violent bloodshed and romantic moonlit beaches! Er, that doesn't sound right... ah, just read it.' Over a century after Lina and her friends parted ways she starts hearing rumours of a cursed island. Lina has a hunch that it might be Wolfpack Island, so she decides to investigate in hopes of finding out what happened to her old traveling companion.
>>: This may never make it past the first three chapters, but what's there is intriguing and well written.

Five Days of Dreaming by fuzipenguin
Rating: R
Pairing: Lina/Xellos
Warnings: one-shot, m/f, dubious consent
Summary: Based off of this prompt: "As soon as you're born you start dying, so you might as well have a good time." Lina grieves; Xellos helps to take her mind off of it in his own unique way.
>>: I also recommend checking out fuzipenguin's other Lina/Xellos fics here.

Games We Play by Tharah
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Lina/Xellos-ish
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: Mazoku don't don't do many things the way that humans do, board games included. Lina agrees to play a game of chess to take Xellos' mind off the holiday, but does she really know what she's getting into?
>>: Rather interesting. This is my kind of Valentine's Day fic.

Gone by Za Metallium
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Lina/Zelgadis, Lina/Xellos
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: Zel finally becomes human again…but is that really what he wanted?
>>: Darkish. A fun take on the cliche for both Lina/Xellos and Lina/Zel shippers. Be sure to check out Za's other stuff for a couple of other interesting 'Zel gets his cure, but...' stories.

Love-in-Idleness by Za Metallium
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Lina/Zelgadis, Gourry/Amelia, Amelia/Zelgadis, Xellos/Lina, slight Lina/Gourry
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: A mischievious trickster decides to make trouble for Lina-tachi, and this time it‘s not Xellos.
>>: One of my favorite stories by Metallium. ^_^ Take a look at her other stuff too! Most of it is quite fun.

Surely Not by Za Metallium
Rating: PG
Pairing: Lina/Xellos, Lina/Zelgadis, slight Lina/Gourry
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: 'Lina is deluged in unsolicited advice.'
>>: Hah! ^_^ A hilarious account of what might happen if Lina agreed to go on a date with Xellos.

On wo Ada de Kaesu by Za Metallium
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Rezo/Eris-ish
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: “It's so hard, Kei-chan. I love him so much, and he isn't even kind to me any more,” Ellis sobbed.
The chimera wrapped itself gently around the crying human, its approximation of a hug. “Of course. But you told me yourself that love is never easy.”

>>: An interesting take on how Kopii Rezo came to be. Also check out Tsukau, a rather dark little piece starring Eris and Zelgadis.

One of Those Things by Za Metallium
Rating: PG
Pairing: Lina/Syphiel, Lina/Xellos, Lina/Zelgadis
>>: A silly little three-shot in which Zelgadis finally works up the courage to ask Lina out but encounters a grave misunderstanding. XD
Oh, Nothing
Isn't That Something?
Everything's Crazy

All Mine by Zoe
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Lina/Xellos

Facades by Sean Gaffney
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Lina/Naga friendship
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: After an accident Lina is faced with both her own inner demons and a very different Naga the Serpent...
>>: To date this is the only Lina/Naga fic I've found that isn't completely painful. And okay, so technically it's purely a friendship thing, but this is probably the closest I'm ever going to get. -_-;

Fishy by Shira
Rating: PG
Pairing: gen
Warnings: poem
>>: This is a silly little poem about Deep Sea Dolphin, and what she does in her spare time. It's rather cute. ^^

Hidden by PenguinKye
Rating: PG
Pairing: gen
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: 'Xellos is a mazoku, not a fluffy bunny.'
>>: This is a shout-out to all of those Xellos fans out there who like to romanticize him. Rather novel. ^_~

Himitsu no Kodomo by Masked Rose
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: gen, Zelas/Xellos, others
Warnings: incomplete, m/f
>>: This is a rather interesting account of how Xellos came to be created and the first several hundred years of his life.

Kokoro by Za Metallium
Rating: R
Pairing: Lina/Xellos, Lina/Zelgadis
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: kokoro - heart; mind; spirit.
>>: A rather nice portrayal of how a person like Xellos might make a move on the girl he likes. Somewhat dark, naturally.

Lost in the Dark by Arthur dean Hansen
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Lina/Gourry
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: Lina ends up back at her hometown after the unthinkable occurs, but they aren't very happy to see her...
>>: Not usually my cup of tea, but this made me smile. ^^

The Man Who Would Be Immortal by Eigwayne
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: gen
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: Humans are always searching for the key to immortality, but this is an affront to the one who controls death. When one sorcerer starts getting close the Hellmaster decides to pay him a visit by posing as a new apprentice.

The Sorcerer's Folly by Ashe Rhyder
Rating: PG
Pairing: Lina/Zelgadis
Summary: One thousand years ago a sorcerer sold his soul to follow his beloved unseen, hoping that she might one day become the kind of person who could return his feelings. Present-day, Lina Inverse investigates a local legend in a small mountain town while worrying over the rapidly deteriorating health of one of her closest friends. Could the two be connected in some way? Well, it wouldn't be much of a story if they weren't.
>>: A heart warming tale of unrequited love, and what some will do for the emotion. A little too sweet for my tastes, but that's just my aversion to conventional romance acting up.

The Worst Thing by Zilchtastic
Rating: PG
Pairing: gen
Warnings: ficlet
Summary: The worst thing about Xellos, Lina decided, was that he didn't hate anyone.
>>: An awesome little ficlet about Xellos' true nature and his relationships with Lina-tachi.
