I know you're away, but I just had to leave a comment. This was fabulous! I loved everything about it. Xander worrying about his kids, and if he had enough medical insurance, the Xander/Buffy meeting, Xander's thrill at finding out Giles had talked about him nonstop, Xander's decision to back up Giles, the whole plan of action, Riley showing up (that was a real surprise, but a good one). I love this whole fic; thanks for sharing it. :D

I was away, but I'm finally back, and can squishy-hug your comments.

I'm glad you loved all the bits! I love Riley; it was fun to bring him in.

Thank you, boundbyash!

Just breathe through the 60 hour work weeks and remember: there is another world outside and presently you'll be released into it. Meanwhile you're making people happy with this.

Creeped out, but happy.

Thanks, thea.

Luckily my 60-hour weeks were full of good stuff, but then they were followed by even busier weeks. Until now.

Hooray! I'm glad other people loved Riley, too.

Heh, I'm not that much for descriptions, since I don't absorb them when I read them. I'd rather just get on with seeing what they do.

Thanks luscious!

So much love for this! I can't wait until it's finished so I can go back and read it again.

Thank you, amy! I hope it lived up to your hopes.

"Just because I'm over here, and I've broken all contact, that doesn't mean I don't miss you like crazy."

She bit her lip, and blinked. "And just because I let you go doesn't mean I don't miss you."

They smiled at each other, and everything was suddenly a hundred times easier.

Ah! How sweet! Yeah, they've been through some shit but they are still there for each other.

Something chittered and Xander grabbed for Giles and Giles yelped and Xander almost fell on his ass trying not to get staked, and they both clutched their chests, panting.

"What the hell was that?" Buffy asked.

"That was me making a fool of myself," gasped Giles.

Xander shrugged, wiping off his sweaty palm and getting a better grip on his axe. "Sorry."

LOL!

Now it's Showtime!

Thanks mulder!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Core Four will always be there for each other in the end.
