Hey tomsmum! I've returned to the world.

Sometimes a crisis is just what one needs to forget your hangups.

Thank you!

I knew someone else would show up. I figured it would be Buffy but thought maybe Faith or Wes or even Tara if it was a magic thing. Oh this is going to be fun! I am going to love Mary's reaction to Xander's past. I can't imagine that he's going to get out of this without spilling some of the supernatural whatsits.

I am really looking forward to seeing Buffy and Xander's reunion. I'm hoping more of the cavalry show up.

Hey soraidh. (I'm back, at last.)

I would have loved to have brought Faith in. She may no longer be homocidal, but she still isn't someone Xander would want hanging around his girls. He should stick with Buffy for now.

Thank you!

Firstly, I think this is the first time Xander seemed to play an equal role in the sex. He wasn't being led, wasn't following, he was an equal partner and it is fabulous to see him stepping up that way.

Secondly, kudos to him for facing Mich down. This isn't his fault and the fact that he knows people who will be able to help is coincidence and fortunate, not something he should be made to feel guilty for.

Third, I'm looking forward to Buffy and I'm not. I'm never sure how she's going to behave and Xander/Giles is too new/fragile - I want Giles to come down on Xander's side if it's needed but I'm scared.

And the bathroom sex?! WAY hot!!!

Hey skargasm!

A major distraction was what Xander needed in order to just worry about what he wanted (ie. Giles' delicious body), rather than all the other stuff.

Xander really shouldn't feel guilty right now. Can't say I blame Mich, though.

Thank you!

You've done hospitals with children in tow, then and the explaining in a nice calm voice what this does and that does because that stops it being scary to the child and makes it slightly more scary to the adult?

And yeah, the sex because it fills in a minute or two of not having to think about the other stuff.

[drsquidlove]

Nope, I have never had that pleasure, thank goodness. It just seemed like the logical thing for Xander to do.

Sex is the best distraction. Especially if it's with Giles.

Thanks, thea. (Yes, I'm creeping back into the world.)

Yeah. Xander isn't especially forgiving, but Buffy... sometimes it takes a while, but she always does.

Thanks catbirdfish!
