I really like the way you handled the 'reboot', and that Spike finally ignored Angel's ranting. Thanks!

Thanks. Funny how everyone is calling it the "reboot" now instead of a resurrection. That was fun to write, those flashbacks. Glad you're enjoying it!

Yay another brilliant chapter. Loved the ressurrection, inspired move to have Buffy relive so many pivitol movements in her life. Great interaction between Xander and Dawn. I found him quite likeable whereas usually he irritates the hell out of me. What can you say about Angel. He's not just delusional, he's totally lost the plot. His vision of the future sounds spinechillingly Angelus like. At least Spike isn't taken in by his bollocks. Can't wait to see what happens next, Buffy seems to be opening up, but with her it can be one step forward two steps back. Looking forward to more, Loved it.

Thanks Jane! The main reason the resurrection flashbacks work, is because I was working with such awesome source material: those monologues and conversations I chose from the show were themselves inspired. Unbelievably good stuff. As for Xander, I don't see any reason to emphasize his bad qualities. He's supposed to be a flawed but sympathetic character with a deep, abiding loyalty, love and respect for the women around him he calls family. And, Angel. Well, I tried to give a certain logic to his reasoning on the subject of Buffy. It makes sense in his brain that as immortals, he and Buffy would ultimately end up together after she adjusted. Anyway, so glad you're still enjoying it - and reviewing. ;-)
