Oh man. I am soooo not feeling sorry for Buffy and Willow. One would think that the two wouldn't go to that big of extreme in there revenge with Xander, but that is thinking that Buffy and Willow when thinking that they have been slighted they have working brains. ^_^ Oh yeah, I love this wonderful fic. (I'm normally not a Buffy and Willow basher except for certain seasons)

A great beginning. Lots of potential for character development. I would especially like to see more of Giles and Xander's relationship, whether father/son, mentor/student, or even lovers (although I think that one would have to wait and develop very slowly, perhaps growing from a close mentor/student relationship over several years). However, if you plan to develop this into a more extensive story, you might want to lower the Voldemort death-count a bit, if only because it would be hard for even hellmouth-blindness to overlook that many dead bodies long-term. A body count that high and obvious should attract outside law enforcement and media attention, which could lead to a serious problem. I hope that you will chose to develop this into a full story, it has great potential.

It's very well-written. Chilling. If you wanted to continue it, it would be absolutely *fascinating* to see how Xander develops, remembering how to do magic. (After all, he remembers being Soldier Boy, so he ought to remember how to do Voldemort-style magic. And he would probably consider it part of his "redemption" for having killed so many people, to then take that magic and do good with it.)
