Panda Mel,

Thanks for reposting this fic here, and I'm sure the 400+ people who
aren't on the other list are glad of it, too (Hopefully, they'll send
feedback and let you know, personallty.)

You nailed Buffy's dialogue under stress perfectly. Loved how, in the
middle of professing her love for Willow, she's congratulating her for
getting back with Tara. And describing Spike as "so huge-ah, in a
waaay negative way", LOL.

Above that, liked Buffy's focus on her need for emotional honesty, and
her not putting pressure on Will, without getting all "I know you could
never love me" self-pitying. Willow's resuling incoherence, and
frustration at Buffy's running off at tangents were also well played.

And just too see Buffy smile and enjoy the friendship again-yes, that
would be enough for me, too. Not that romance wouldn't be even MORE
wonderful.

Angel's appearance is inconvenient (and isn't it still day? I'll have
to reread), but he's going to have to be dealt with, so bring him on.
(And if you've got an Angel/Spike throwdown scene up your sleeve, I
won't be upset at all :) ).

Keep it coming!

Dan
