Nice update. I thought for a moment the spirit wasn't Jenny but actually the First. But you specifically mention Willow feeling Jenny's hand so I felt a bet better about the mysterious 'helper'. Of course Xander will forgive Willow. If there was one constant all through the series it was "Scoobies screw up big time!" Even Joyce and Giles screwed up. But everybody eventually got forgiven. Even Faith. I look forward to more of your delightful story.
Whoosh! Well, /that's/ a relief! Was afraid we'd go the Willow Screws Another Spell Up Scenario, glad you didn't fall into that trap.
Be thinking they have the beginnings for a series of talks during Willow's Xander ride - and that sounds so naughty now that I read it back... - that might close the gap between the two. Maybe it'll get them to expand and bring in the others so that similar things won't crop up in the future. Thing is, Xander will have to tell them a lot more of what he's done so they get a better understanding of who and what he is now... and I don't think any of them are anywhere near ready for that.
Too bad life on the Hellmouth isn't about to cut them any slack, 'cause if they don't start working this out soon, it WILL bite them hard...
Comments from author:
Xander will be opening up to the gang about his experiences in the altendata-verse but not for a while. First there is the meeting with the Council and Travers to get through. Thanks for the review.
