Hmmm, I liked that little curve you thre in there with the will-be-done spell still somewhat active.  It takes a bit of the harshness away from Giles departure. (though I know the show had no choice in the matter.). 

  I am starting to remember details now and I am excited to get where I think I remember your story going.

Love the way Buffy 'came out'. Loving this. 

Can't wait for the Xander - Buffy blow up over Spike.

Superb! No really.  You just fixed so much of went wrong with Buffy.  My heart is a flutter.  Cheers!

oh wow...*that's* not good...he had to send them away before he told them that part? interesting touch about the spell-that-wasn't...great chapter :)

Buffy certainly seized the moment to come out!

love it. thanks
