Well, that kernel of happiness and freedom didn't last long. Xander's caught up in a tsunami of emotions, it's no wonder he's all over the map. Finally facing his anger at Buffy and letting it out may give him the closure he needs to move forward and start living again. I guess we'll see.

Not entirely fun to write. Damn the boys and their demands for realism.

Thanks for keeping up with it =]

Spike is doing such a good job of guiding Xan through some very rocky emotional ground.

Ouch! Well, that was hurtful but cleansing. Xander is just one big kettle of emotions right now. I am so glad that Spike is there to help Xander through his pain.

Yeah, you're really good at this angst thing, aren't you? Stop it.

Although I'm really proud of Xander for dusting all those vamps. Poor vamps, death by stone angel. Ha!

Xander's emotional meltdown was... well, it was kinda awesome, but in a wow, that was really realistic kinda way, not the, yay! Xander is freaking out way.

Does Willow have a spell for tracking souls? That's just.. odd.

I find it funny that people assume Heaven is a happy place. Now, I'm not saying it isn't or that I don't want it to be, it just struck me as funny that's all. Maybe I should have left that out... oh well.

Now they can go home and Spike an sleep in Xander's bed again. With Xander. Go cute!

Thanks for sharing, happy writing, and update soon please!

Tabee :)

I dunno about good, but the boys keep demanding it. I'd like some smut about now but nooo they want plot. Hmmf.

Not sure Willow actually has a spell for tracking souls, but I figured a little bit of poetic licence was called for.

Don't really think heaven is happy perse but I don't think "she's content" really has the same punch.

Thanks for another fun comment.

Acceptance! He need that and I'm really glad for Xander that Spike is there and helps him. That he told him, she is happy was the first step for Xander to really accept that Buffy is gone. Whoaaa what an emotionally and wonderful angsty written chapter. Did I mention I do love your fic?
Thanks a lot for sharing.

*g* Thanks so much, I'm really glad people are still liking it. I was worried it'd be too angsty for some.
