This is another well written chapter (well, duh).

If Xena's been floating around enough to recognize languages by accident and blurt it out, why didn't she bring up that Miss Calendar was unconscious to derail Willow's deduction?

Willis?? at the end?

[1] Thanks!
[2] Xena doesn't *run* Xander she isn't really there; she just provides some odd memories that bubble up at random moments;
[3] Xander couldn't resist seguing into the classic 'whutchoo talkin bout Willis?' that Gary Coleman became famous for.

Well this is a fine pickle Xander has gotten himself into.

He does have a few options at this point, but it can't be fun to be hauled into the air and shaken about by a Slayer.

Totally Awesome... Hoping for more soon!!

Thanks. I plan to update in a couple weeks.

Talk about an inconvenient time for Buffy and Willow o find out about Xena still hanging around, given the far more pressing case of possession affecting Giles and Ms Calendar right now . . . ! :)

Finding out that your boyfriend may only be your boyfriend because there's a dead woman in his head? Never a good time for that one.

Great story so far. I love how well you are getting into the characters heads.

Thanks.

uhoh, this could get ugly...

That's why I ended it there. Because I'm like that.

Great chapter! More please!

Thank you. I plan to post the rest of the "Eyghon" section in two weeks.

Ha, I knew I was right to check for new stories 3 times a day!

I've been reading various interesting stories on this site while waiting for the new Diane Castle ones, and while they have been entertaining, there is a clear diference in quality. Most of the stories from the "top fics" section are not as well written as those.
It's really nice to get to read something without any noticeable mistakes in either writing or story, and written in a fluid and easy to read style.

Wow, all these compliments are going to my head. I think I'll go tell my teenaged son to vacuum the upstairs. (That will cut me down to size.)

Ooh, this promises to be interesting. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Stuff always seems to happen to Xander.

Nice new chapter, keep up the excellent work. :)

Thank you!

Never liked this episode of Buffy where Giles completely closes everyone out while they are being attacked by Eyghon. It did nothing to stop it and endangered everyone's lives. Buffy is being a fool here throwing herself at Xander like he is a threat, she needs to be taught a serious lesson on how you treat your friends. That no one realizes that Miss Calendar was knocked out is a serious problem and Giles should have known better, he didn't deserve Miss Calendar and that your secret was so much worse than mine bit made me sick. Really looking forward to how you handle this mess.

Even more annoying than the 'Giles mad at Jenny for hiding the Kalderash secret' part was the after-the-fact realization that Jenny is about to do the exact same thing to Giles, starting with the end scenes of "The Mark of Eyghon". She's hiding this mammoth secret, and she treats him like crap for several episodes for having a past? There's a ton of hypocrisy running loose in season 2, but then the writers had to do something to separate Giles and Jenny in preparation for Angelus' big strike.

Why can't they skip this stupid ass possession cliche with the passive aggressive ridiculous complaints about Xander having character growth.

Xander can't just be honest and upfront about remembering some stuff. Seriously move the story along not even worth a dumb chapter and follow up about making Xander normal again.

Move on and get back to story content. It doesn't even make any sense Xander has the memories of an adult or he doesn't which means he only remembers some things.

Wait, who said Xander can't be upfront about remembering some Xena stuff? You're criticizing the part I haven't even published yet! Wait until the next section, and then decide if what you just wrote is a relevant critique.

Poor Xander. Now he's going to have to admit to lingering Xena-ness. He'll never live it down. And of course they're all totally missing the fact that Jenny as unconscious for a bit. Sigh. This is the crack team that foiled Spike at every turn? .

Let me think... Spike foiled by Joyce hitting him with a fireaxe... Spike foiled by the Order of Taraka not doing their job... Spike foiled by too much gloating and the Halloween spell breaking at just the wrong moment... Spike foiled by too much gloating when he had the Ring of Amara... Spike foiled by too much gloating and being captured by the Initiative...

I recognize the quote, but this crack team hardly ever foiled Spike. He beat himself repeatedly.

option A xander tries to explain and still gets tied up. option B xander use pressure point to get Buffy to release him but either way he going have to explain. I don't think that going to go well especially with Buffy's Xander must be the normal one so we have take away anything that makes him special. that something that always piss me off about the Angel/Buffy series everybody but xander got something that made them special

There are other options too!

Likin it but please avoid Yaoi....

You should know by now that I never do anything expected. Or rational. :-)
