. . .arguing this with a friend who was emphatically *not* a Buffy/Xander shipper. She argued that the fact that Buffy had sent Xander away with Dawn--and paired Xander and Dawn during the final fight in Sunnydale--was because Xander was the weak link and because the other potential partners for Dawn weren't suitable for some reason: I argued that it was because Buffy *knew* that Xander wouldn't hesitate for an instant to lay down his life to protect Dawn, more than any of the others. I believe that I had the better of that argument. :-)

This was my prompt! I am very much in love with this story. Because yes, Xander will always, always, always be necessary. And yay for getting the girl at the end!
