Xander frowned and looked up at him. “Buffy will want Dawn with her.”
Angel nodded. “Until Dawn’s anger makes her start striking out. She’s Dawn’s sister, and Dawn needs her sister to fight with and grieve with. Being her mother is going to be a lot harder.”
Dawn may never move in with them, but at least Buffy has options and choices, and face it, at some point she may be totally okay having Willow and Tara and Dawn take a little vacation in LA

Dagnabbit... Joyce! *cries*
I wish there wasn't this huge gulf between Xander and his Scooby family but I'm so glad that Xander has Angel and the rest of *that* family.
By the way, three chapters in one day? You rock!
...
Now where's chapter four? ;-)
Wee fixes: -"It's a hard lesson to learn, and one that took two more than two centuries for me to understand," Angel said. [that took more than] -she had to trust that God had chosen her for good reason." [for a good reason] -The cemetery workers were standing near some equipment, clearing anxious to get the casket in the ground [clearly]

I know, but there really isn't any logic reason for that bit of canon to change. At least Joyce can rest knowing that Buffy isn't in the same horrible position she found herself in during canon.
And you know me... once I can see the end, I just want to hurry and finish!!
Three chapters all at once were a hell of a thing to wake up to on my flist this morning. Things are moving along fast and furious.
I loved the bit about Xander being a consort (something that isn't real) because Anyanka decided he had to be one to fulfill the conditions of the wish. I am sure there will be more on that coming.
This chapter was so sad, yet so necessary. Joyce was a hell of a woman and a wonderful mother and I know her death was a canon event but it still hurts to see it again. You handled reactions beautifully though.
I hope that made for a good morning! I am so close to the end at this point that I really want to just get there... to finish... to be able to put this one to bed and have one less WIP pulling me in a different direction.
I'm glad that you thought my handling of Joyce was respectful. I love her as a character, and I really wish she hadn't died in canon.

Hm. That should be interesting.
A sad but very poignant chapter.

Can't wait until the next chapter.

Wow! A third great chapterof this wonderful fic. Thanks so much. I liked your kindly Angel even when I'm sad Joyce had to die.
