Absolutely lovely chapter in so many ways, and I'm so glad I had the chance to catch up. Loved Angel and the chicken soup and Xander's thoughts about Spike, and the hints of the revelations about awful things that Xander has seen/done and Buffy in therapy and Spike's matter of fact "Yes, I was dead but I'm better now," and Illyria and- well, everything really.

I love this story!
