YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!! That's how I feel. :D Loved the B/G..& I loved that Buffy ended up kissing everyone in the group. Especially her response to both Cordelia & Oz (b/c you KNOW how I feel about Oz!). I also liked that her Slayerness was like, "I'll fuck that demon up before I fuck him" with Angel & even knew something was up with Jenny. & the B/G....squee! Glad they'll take it slow. Wouldn't mind a sequel where we see Buffy teasing Giles a bit (& maybe him getting a little of his own back at her). ;)

Even though I'll never like people referring to Buffy as a necrophiliac - partially 'cause I don't think the definition is wholy accurate since vamps are moving dead people instead of unresisting/non-reactive bodies - I will admit I can't stand the BAngel 'ship. My reason for not liking it, however, is 'cause I think they were horrible together. Same thing with Spuffy. And Jenny... Once the truth came out about her, I couldn't stop thinking of her as Janna. I'm not sure what I would have done if I was caught in a similar situation, but from Buffy or Giles' perspective, I can't help but feel utterly betrayed by her actions - or lack thereof. Even if she didn't know everything, she could have been looking into it on her own or told them what she did know so they could try to find out.
As for a sequel, it does have some possibilities, doesn't it?

"Wow, I need a life outside writing/reading fanfic." - Meh. Outside lives are for boring people. ;)
This was sweet. A little rough of Jenny's people, and Jenny by default, but still sweet. Not sure how I feel about Buffy/Giles smooches since those two have a purely platonic relationship in my head, but it worked nicely for this ficlet.

Hey, at least Jenny thought the Slayer curse was idiotic, too. That was kind of a last minute addition to avoid being too bashy of Jenny. Guess it didn't work out as well as I'd hoped if people still think I was too hard on her.
I'm kinda surprised that nobody's really mentioned the fact that everyone kissed Buffy. Thought that would get some kind of response. Guess they were too blinded by the B/G-ness to care *grin*.
A very nice little holiday tale. And while I understand Jenny leaving, it still leaves a hole with the gang that Giles is going to need time to heal.
Comments from author:
Yeah, and Buffy will need some time to get over Angel, too. So it's good that they have over a year of pre-courtship before they can 'finalize' their relationship.
