. I remember up to this point althougg I'm sure I've read a little farther ahead in your story.

  I like this change for Xander, even though it seems like it may not be all good.  I just think that his chaeacter in particular was badly in need of a role within the group that may not have been there for him.
I mean after all this time he had to have been well sick of being gopher/handyman.  I kno that his friendship was important, but after a few years of all the rest of the core scoobys contributing tangibly with the world defending/saving and him not, that would have to have worn on him.

I expect you have one, too. But dear Rupert probably never let you know. Itll be filed away somewhere in the Council headquarters.   - Hee, Giles has got some esplaning to do. 

okay that last little bit gave me chills...adorable little boys are not supposed to growl...i feel so sad for xander..wonder what will happen next...great chapter :)

OK, I've been nice, I've been patient, but where the bloody hell is the rest?? Please tell me you aren't saving it till next Christmas??

loved this chappie, so glad that I could get it posted for you...can't wait to see what Eric really is....

Oh, I love it! And I can so see Xander as Santa Claus! But poor little Eric. -Lisa

*gasp* i knew there was something about that kid.. he was too.. i dont know.. but it was not normal...

Xander as Santa! Didn't see that coming until almost the last second. Somehow I think Eric might find himself being adopted....Nice update. I hope you get the log-in problem sorted out soon.
