I know I haven't updated this one in a while. Sometimes the muse is a little stubborn bitch, but at least Spike did get to be the big, bad demon here. And you're right that Giles had Ripper going, both with Wesley and with the Council team. Giles and Jenny will be good back up for Buffy since Angel and Xander are pulling away.

And I may write something with Blair and Faith... we'll have to see where the muse goes. However, Jim will not be coming into the picture for years. Blair is still working on his Master's degree here.
