Part Six

Here is part two of the fic, co-written with Bit. Thanks for all the feedback yesterday and for all of you who, although bothered by Giles and Buffy are trusting us! I'm not going to promise happy endings because that's not how it works but I firmly believe that people like them, who've gone through hell, have breaking points and weaknesses as much as anyone.

And what they've gone through is enough to break anyone. We never saw the smiles slip off their faces after the post-Chosen euphoria died down and the grief for what was lost kicked in. We never saw how fragile the reconciliation between Buffy and Giles was, nor how Buffy reacted to the deaths of the two men she loved.

If we had, it might not've been like this... but I think it's not unlikely and consistent with canon.
