Yeah, but the slayer line goes thru Faith, not Buffy. 

Oh, so excellent.  A real pleasure to read with loads of UST-y tension.  Finally!  Buffy figures out who she wants, the villian is revealed (after he stops and gloats)  and the cavalry is coming (we hope)  I do love all the wonderful touches in this story and that Giles' death is not just swept under the table.
Thanks for writing!

Oh Yay!  Blue light = cavalry?  And go Buffy with the sudden wisdom.  Such a heartbreaking, but exciting couple of chapters !
