Interesting take on the episode. Hee, it's nice to see all the background thoughts of the characters: especially with the Willow/Tara aspect. It was lovely, reading some of that.
The flashbacks were good too, typical Xander. Nice to read some of the Willow and Xander friendship as well, theirs was always a good one.
Heartbreaking end though, as it has to be, with that episode.

This was great. I loved the way you built out the events of that episode. Sad, yet so sweet with the Willow and Tara moments.
