This was amazing. It was a fitting end - well, not really an end - for Willow, really, and everything between him and Xander was very touching. I do see what you mean about "surreal," but surreal can be beautiful and this was. I shall reread often, I'm sure. Thank you!

Heh, thanks, and I hope it has enough h/c in it to meet the prompt. I am pleased that I came up with a new take on the post-Grave story, at least!

This is lovely. I usually avoid G/X (actually, Giles with any of the core Scoobies) like the plague, but this is by YOU, and I'm so glad I didn't. This danced - light and lovely and sad. Beautiful.

Ah, Giles with any of the core Scoobies is where my brain usually takes me. But I'm glad you liked this!

This was wonderful! The numbness and avoidance of actually thinking about Willow and then the slow realization of her intentions. The Xanderbabble when finally talking about his emotions and his exact rating of hetero/homo-sexuality. And then finally the gentle grief showing through in the end. Bravo!

I figure Anya worked out those exact ratings, much to Xander's surprise. Thank you!

This, this was absolutely gorgeous. I love every aspect of it. I love your brain.

My brain drives me nuts sometimes :) Thank you!
