I love to see that some one else thinks the same way that I do. When I first read the original story a few minutes ago and started to read the wording of the ritual my mind latched onto Xander. First off it's the only really fair thing to do after how poorly he was treated in the story within a few paragraphs. Secondly it helps full fill all the requirements of his wish, that he could see their faces when their plans fail. How better to do that than have Xander himself being the one to kill them?
It's a good story idea and the only sad thing is that it really has no future. This is marked complete and this version of Xander would be so over powered that it would either cause problems or the author would invent stupid ways to make Xander fail.

Thanks for reviewing. ;-)
Actually, I'm making a short series centered on this story, and the second story is 'Being Ground Under The Wheel," which is already posted to this site.
I'm working on the next story after that, but I'm not sure when it will be ready to post.
I would love to see this expanded into a longer story. I love the idea and I think it would make a great series of one shots of a bigger story showing everything Xander does not get back a those who opposed him.

Anything more is completely up to my muse's whims, although I do have a companion piece to this just about ready to post. It should be up soon. ;-)

I loved this, but I thought Xander would take longer to kill dead boy.
Comments from author:
Yeah, that's apparently a fairly common idea.
I could point out that by doing so, Xander would be lowering himself to the level he ascribes to Angelus and other scum, but I'm also halfway agreeing with you.
The comment was just too good to pass up, though. ;-)

LoL. I thought of doing one like this for your story. I saw the loop-holes you left. It would be a fun story to write. Hope you decide to do more with it.
Comments from author:
Yeah, taking advantage of the loopholes in a Big Bad's rhetoric is always a lot of fun. ;-)
And I've got at least another dozen characters I could use for this idea. Its just a matter of following my muse's whims. ;-)

Love your Anya. And now the ass-kicking begins! I have enjoyed all the stories in your series, but this one amuses me the most. Of course almost any story with Anya in it has to be a winner. Lol!
Comments from author:
Very true. Anya is a fun character, mostly because she's so outspoken and blunt. Sort of like a metaphorical crowbar to the face. ;-)

I don't know. A Torch Nova Burst seems a bit too quick and merciful for The Circle members. They really should have more time to think about the retribution they are going to receive for their crimes. I mean that when they finally end up in Hell, they should actually be grateful be there instead of remaining at Xander's tender mercies.
Comments from author:
True enough, but why waste any more time when you know they're going to be suffering for eternity after you snuff them out?
There are many, much more important things to do - like lunch, catching the afternoon cartoons, and other far more enjoyable things he could be doing. ;-)
