*sighs contentedly* They're back together! I'm super happy now. :)

Ooo! Angel's baaack! Great scene with him coming to her in the classroom. Eerie in it's mirroring of the night Angelus tried to kill her. Loved it. Very well done.

I LOVED that you made the snow their own little Christmas miracle. I much prefer to think that it snowed for them, rather than for Angel and Buffy up on that hill, so much cuter!

Hmmm...weird dream at the end there...I dunno how I feal about the almost-kiss-type-thing. Interesting, can't wait to see where it leads...

OH! The Scoobies are gonna have a field day when they find out they're back together! Is there any chance we can get a glimps of the reactions!? *is hopeful*

All in all, a great way to get those two back together, as they're meant to be. Keep up the fab work. I'm super excited (as always) to see what fate has in store for our Twosome! :D

Heee! Told ya I couldn't keep them apart for long ;)

As for the dream/almost-kiss: I've always been fascinated with the dynamic between Jenny and Angel. The whole, her-family-cursed-him, he-saved-her-life, he-wanted-her-dead, she-was-trying-to-save-him thing. I thought fleshing it out could create some interesting conflict for season three. Giles and Jenny can't have an immediate happy ending, after all! I'd run out of stuff to write about real fast! ;)

And yes, the kids will enjoy that the Mommy-and-Daddy of the Scoobs have reconciled :D

So glad you liked this, and I'm always appreciative of the comments!

'Cause, you know, season three doesn't have much conflict in it otherwise. :P
Nah, I like it, and I agree about the dynamic of their relationship being quite interesting. Major moral confliction going on there. I'm intrigued...

[calendar_woman]

Hah! Yes, Wesley's coming into things soon too. Plenty of hurdles for them in season three :D

Glad I've got you intrigued, though! And just so you never have a doubt, I'll assure you right now: Giles and Jenny are meant to end up together. The end :P

Not that I'm obsessed with this fanfic or anything >.> But, due to the weather, I've had the day off from finals. So, I've been refreshing the page all day. This chapter was so amazingly well done. It was like the Passion chapter was happening all over again, all the coincidences. The deja vu feeling from Jenny, the Angel and Jenny scene in front of the window, to the make up scene where Jenny and Rupert get back together. It was really cool how it all seemed to be one big deja vu chapter with Passion.... -really- cool.

And.. Wow. Angel and Jenny? The dream? Where are you going with this >.>

[calendar_woman]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this one; I had a lot of fun trying to write the parallels between this and Passion. :)

As for Angel and Jenny? You shall have to see where I lead you; but, just to give you a hint, I've always been intrigued with the Angel-Jenny dynamic, so I felt like fleshing it out and adding some extra conflict into this season. :D :D

[repowoman24]

I was refreshing this on my phone all day, seeing that I had school. SHH None of the teachers saw. <.<

This chapter was brilliantly done. LOVED it. Like Manda was saying, it was awesome how it was basically a deja vu of Passion. At one point, I thought that Angel WAS going to try to get her again.

So glad that they are at least semi-made up. I think we can all sleep a little easier tonight.

I can't wait to see what you have in store for the Angel-Jenny dynamic. THIS will be very interesting. :D

Also, I cannot wait for the addition of Wesley to the season.. I love Giles' reaction to him already.. I can't wait to see Jenny's.

[calendar_woman]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I had fun re-visiting Passion (only without all of the Jenny-almost-dying parts lol). Glad I could keep you guessing with Angel too ;)

I'm very excited to flesh out more of the Angel/Jenny dynamic for the rest of the third season before he takes off for L.A. Here's hoping I don't disappoint!

Also, Wesley is going to be SO much fun. Oh man.

I was at home all day yesterday so I'm not gonna lie, I spent most of it refreshing the page (as I see seems to be the case with most of the other commenters too, lol).
The scene with Angel was excellently done, I wasn't 100% sure which side he was on probably until Giles showed up. The parallels with Passion were great, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your Angel-Jenny dynamic. And of course the make-up sex was really hot; with sex like that there's no way they're ever meant to be apart, haha. Oh, and the snow! I loved that, it was so cute. I like the idea of Giles and Jenny in the snow much more than Buffy/Angel, lol.

[calendar_woman]

Aww, thank you so much! I'm glad you liked this. To be honest, I wasn't sure how everyone would react to the Angel/Jenny stuff, so it makes me happy that you guys are open to it enough to want to see where it goes.

And I totally get what you mean about Buffy and Angel in the snow. They were so... boring. Jenny's so playful -- she would've frolicked and had a blast, and probably would've thrown some snow at Giles. Bummer, I should've tossed that in, lol.

[queensmoot]

Aww, I can imagine Jenny doing that, and stuffing some down his shirt or something. That would be so adorable :D.

[calendar_woman]

I was thinking more like his pants :P

That would really get him. Plus there'd be some cute Giles-grumbling about soggy underwear lol.

[calendar_woman]

Thank you so much!! Glad you liked this. I definitely plan on doing more with the Angel/Jenny thing for the rest of the third season before he heads to L.A., and I am SO excited to start bringing Wesley into the mix.

More to come very soon! :D
