Flights of Fancy

Having the benefit of knowing what went on between Spike and Xander downstairs and Xander's realization that Faith feels odd woman out, like she is the one who lacks a place in the family was great for the readers. Angel could have used that bit of insight too, but he did get there and has done what he could in dealing with Faith's need to belong. And she is being very brave here, I think she deserves her family's backing and a chance to spend some time with Blair. I agree they are all changing and growing in healthier ways. Of course that is part of the reason for fanfic, the need to fix what went wrong, even if the road is a bit bumpy getting there.
