This was pretty good. I've always wondered if we'd see anyone go into depth with the psychological effects of 'the Sunnydale experience'. You know they would all be wrecks long before the seventh year.

Excellent job. You story did a nice job of showing us Xander's character both under fire and afterwards. I hope Sunnydale has an Alateen chapter 'cause with his experience and his parents, the boy is a walking advertisement for "alcoholism as a way of life".

Very powerful way to bring insight into a minor character from the series. Rory had a story. The version you have created would make his behavior more human and understandable that it would have seemed from a teenage vantage point. Poor Xander seems destined for nightmares no matter what universe. It's hard to be a man. Being a superhero may have it's difficulties, but real life - that's a serious challenge.
Thanks

Thanks I spent a lot of time while growing up in around VA hospitals. My father was 100% disabled from Korean war. Heard a lot of stories from those men. Learned alot about growing up from them as well.

Very good, I assume those were Marines and that the battle was on Hamburger Hill. On another note; if there are multiple realities and several Xander results then that occured multiple times as there are multiple Rory Harris'.
