Angel. I really love Angel and that even though they're broken up, he and Buffy are still friends. I like how you've written Buffy here too -- discouraged, sad, worried, hopeless, and yet Angel is able to talk sense to her while she goes from emotion to emotion, ending up at a pretty mean statement:

"You've both killed people --- maybe you can relate."

It's so shitty of her to say, but I think it's exactly where Buffy would go (and did on the show), and Angel reacts just like himself too -- with calmness as he refuses to back off or get sidetracked. He's a good friend, and his brand of "tough love" is just what Buffy needs. He even absolves her of her responsibility...by laying on the guilt with a trowel: "If you don't want to deal than that's fine: you can't save everyone, right?" HAHAHA!!! Poor Buffy :) Then he leaves her with such a simple mission: "Be there for her...That's all you can do."

Did I already swoon over Angel, because I really meant to.

Wesley's so irritating, just like he's supposed to be, but hooray for Giles': "Oh do shut up.", among his other English: "Shut the Fuck Up, Wesley, Before I Kill Yous". HAHAHA!!!

Loved this chapter :)

I can't say I share in your Angel swooning (At least on Buffy), but I think he would have had the best perspective on Faith of anyone involved, so he had to be involved somehow. Plus I hear they even share a comic and stuff (Which I will eventually get around to reading, even if a Buffy/Faith comic would have been so much better).

lol. I don't remember writing that last line. :p
