Grave

Synopsis: Giles and Jenny arrive from England to stop Willow before she goes too far, but she's already gone. And the storm that's been brewing between Jenny and her estranged protegé finally leads to a battle of epic proportions, one that could easily end the world unless someone can reach Willow's last spark of humanity in time.

Ok... *cracks knuckles* Here we go. Round 2!!! DING DING!

It's actually quite funny because I found myself thinking about this exact moment several times today. What could I possibly say that hasn't been said already? It was amazing? Sure, but it's been said so many times it's almost worn out. It was so goddamned perfect that it makes me angry at the world they don't wise-the-fuck-up and read all of ToC completely to this point? Um, HELLO WORLD! THIS! THIS THIS THIS! I want to shout from my window right now that everyone who hasn't taken the time to read the entire RP is crazy and doesn't know how a perfect love story evolves! I feel like the world is missing out on something amazing here, and I don't know what I can do about it, but I'm going to damn sure try.

That being said, let me be more specific...

First of all, I love how you toss those little cookies in for us readers, you know the ones that make us get all tingly and internally squee with delight because of the perfectness. I mean, this... invisible but tangible

And now, be still my heart...

He reached out to her instinctively, his mind calling to her. As if in answer, she gripped his hand, and he squeezed it feebly, closing his eyes and focusing on her voice as she continued to try to reason with Willow.

♥♥ this scene... ♥♥ DEAR GOD THIS SCENE. Woman, you are the pillar of all things wonderful in this world. You gave me goosebumps. Don't get me wrong, these two were AMAZING on the actual show (SEE RANT ABOVE), but you...YOU...will always own these two in my heart. (again, see rant above) This whole scene is just beautiful. Why? Well...

♥ Hehehe, Anya, my other favorite girl for Giles. She wants to be there with him, but he's got his Jenny. Together until then end. *swoon*

♥ "Silly girl," he smiled weakly. "I'm dying." heheheh :-)

♥ His eyes slipped shut again and his wife slapped him awake, a bit more harshly than before. "Ow! Mind the cripple, eh Jenny?" OMG...NO WORDS. JUST LOVE. LOVE LOVE LOVE to the power of infinity, LOVE

...sigh... In my own defense - I am overworked and underpaid. My above comments are by no means a reflection on my writing/editing ability (even though that's my job...I get paid for it. Shhhhhh....). I am just going to blame the fact that this chapter has officially exploded my brain. Period.

Cheers! ♥

LOLOL! Never worry about that kinda stuff with me, seriously. I get ya. :D

HEEEEE. All of this stuff you're talking about? WAS MY FAVE STUFF TO WRITE. I love letting them get melodramatic. LOVE. IT. It was even a little bit more fun to write than the showdown. :D

"Ow! Mind the cripple, eh Jenny?" OMG...NO WORDS. JUST LOVE. LOVE LOVE LOVE to the power of infinity, LOVE. Bahahaha! Thanks. Had to inject at least a teensy bit of humor in with all the drama. ;)

Jenny calls him England. OMG... Not sure why, but the timing of this is perfect. I'm so happy that didn't seem out-of-place. I was a little unsure, but I love that nickname she had for him SO MUCH. Because Jenny doesn't seem like a 'honey'/'baby'/'sweetie' kind of gal. :D So, I felt compelled to throw it in while he was in dire straits.

He is dying, DYING and all he wants to do it profess his love again and again, and kiss her over and over again!!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME SPOON MY BRAIN BACK INTO MY EAR. IT HAS MELTED. My heart even stopped to squee at this. Gah. Perfect. So, freaking PERFECT. HEEEEE! Thank you so so much! I so love the intensity of

Let me say again, because I feel I can't say it enough: you are BEYOND awesome. Your feedback never ceases to bring giant, ridiculous smiles to my face. You know that this is THE ONE I was waiting impatiently to write, so the reaction it has garnered is beyond astounding to me, and it so warms my heart. :D NOW, let's get into it:

First of all, I love how you toss those little cookies in for us readers, you know the ones that make us get all tingly and internally squee with delight because of the perfectness. Hehehe! Thank you so much! I really do love tossing in those little things for you guys -- references to old chapters, etc., and see who picks up on what. It's almost like throwing in an inside joke of sorts. :D

Then, you make them fight as a united force. They work together flawlessly and you write it so... perfectly. Thank you!! I really did love how canon displayed them as being on the same page with each other mentally when they were working together on stuff, even if they approached it from different directions, it always
