The Series has a title!!! Kin of the Heart (as you can tell from the graphic)

Previous parts:
Part one: Bumbling to a Save
Part two: Family Ties
Part three: Devil in the Details
Part Four: Bad Karma

Part Five: Rust Upon Iron
Rated: Safe
Fandom: BtVS
Pairing:  Eventually Xander/Angel, but they're friends for now.

Summary: a tragedy will either pull Xander and Angel apart or help them pull together.

A/N: The title is from a quote from Bishop Robert South: “Guilt upon the conscience, like rust upon iron, both defiles and consumes it, gnawing and creeping into it, as that does which at last eats out the very heart and substance of the metal.”
