I'm loving your wonderful story all over again - Outstanding ending - beautiful tribute to Xander, all his friends and the series.

Wonderful chapter - love how you used the Kahlil Gibran poem - like your version of Dark Willow and the killing of Warren Mears very much -

the closing of this chapter is so beautiful -

Thank you so much. I wanted to give Xander a proper send-off.

Gotta love the Sunnydale PD. And liked the observation about Willows magic going too far.

Thanks!

Thank you. I always thought it wasn't so much that Willow's spells went *wrong* so much as they they worked too well. I was glad to get to play with that here.

Dawn’s insight about Willow really hit home. Buffy’s affirmation after Willow’s comment about Xander being at peace brought tears to my eyes. I’m glad that Willow promised to leave him there.

I was worried this chapter might come off to soppy, and I'm glad people responded to it. Thank you.

Excellent job with the funeral, dignified and moving.

Thanks. I'm glad it didn't come off too syrupy. I adore Xander and wanted to give him a proper send-off.

That was fast thinking on Dawn's part, with Willow so out of control, who knows how far back she would have taken them. Thanks for the fast update.

I like writing Dawn as smart. She's been really fun to write. Thank you for reading and reviewing!

That has to be one of the most beautiful poems I've ever read. I love the simplicity of the ending of the chapter, it closed the chappie wonderfully... but, *sob* WAHH!!:(

Thanks so much! It took me a while to find something fitting for Willow's reading and I'm glad you agree that it works.

Now I am I wondering what would have happened if Wilow had turned back time. Xanders Funeral was very nicely written. Buffy knows that Xander is happy, that was a good touch.

Thanks so much. I'm glad the funeral didn't come off too shmoopy.

wow...i am simply awed...that was lovely...so heart-breakingly beautiful...my own eyes flooded with tears at those words...you have done a lovely job with this, pet... :) on to the end :)

Oh, thank you. I'm glad I was able to make people sad over my poor Xander.

awwwww very very sad.

I liked the part about willow wanting to turn time backwards and Dawn realizing that she was going too far back and Dawn was fizzing out of existence.

Thanks. I've always though Willow's real problem is that she wants to fix everything. And sometimes you can't do that.

Oh, man, you brought tears to my eyes. Lovely, heart wrenching chapter.

Thank you. It was a tough chapter to write and I'm glad it touched people.

Okay, you're going to make me cry now...

Well, that's kinda what I'm going for here, so... thanks :)
