Like how Buffy has to start taping boxes while she has 'the' talk with Angel. The girl has to keep moving.

"Of all the girls I could’ve been with, I can’t imagine anyone better than you.”
Oh, sweet Spike.

comment from last chapter carried overrrr... check! :)

i have big love for angel too and it's hard in this spuffy ficverse because so many writers seem to be so very angry with angel. so very angry with him that they make him be the villain and/or the dumbest guy ever. repeatedly. with much malice. "bad, angel, bad!" they say. "we will punish you for existing!" i can handle it in non-canon fic but when it's MY angel they twist around i get cranky. angel is a good man. a good man who should never ever be with buffy, but a good man nonetheless. he is here and entirely present in this story. you are made of awesome for that!!!

ok now I'M the one telling you everything in my brain and i should stop. but wait, we've already established i'm a pervert and i like that sort of thing. bad, jamie, bad.

I love how this chapter proceeds with the post-spell clean up. Angel and Buffy have been struggling for months in their non-relationship, and now that it's crystal clear that they're over, Angel leaving town makes sense. It's still a painful parting, but you've left me more sympathetic toward Angel than I was in canon. Angel and Buffy parting is amicable here, and there's no illusion that they have a future together. The spell has wrested a lot of choice out of Buffy's hands, but it has also pushed her and Angel forward, giving them both a chance to start over
