I'm so relieved this is done. Basically, this is a standalone fic that would be a part 1 if I hadn't left it so damn late to write the thing. It may or may not become a series, or at least spawn a sequel.
Title: Zen and the Art of Joe McMeaty's
Author: Doyle
Pairing: Riley/Xander
Rating: PG * hangs head in shame *
Notes: For
zortified for the Choose Your Author ficathon. Season 4, AU after Doomed. Comedy, pretty much. ETA: Kevin has reminded me that I subconsciously stole the name of the burger bar from Invader Zim. Therefore I'll claim it's an homage.
There was an art to creating the perfect - or at least edible - Joe McMeaty's double cheeseburger. He'd been an employee two whole weeks, more than enough time to figure how to best enjoy his one free meal per shift. As he slid into the plastic chair opposite Riley, Xander was already ripping open four packets of ketchup with his teeth and separating the meat from the buns. Who said guys couldn't multitask? People who hadn't seen Xander Harris eat, that was who.
