The plot thickens. Great development with Wesley and Harmony was a hoot. I also like to see the positive interaction between Faith and Cordelia here. The potential nastiness between Faith and Cordelia has been a subplot for a while but they hardly ever interact with one another and usually only in a group setting (I'm not criticizing you can only do so much before the story gets weighed down). So this little segment is nice because suggest there has been some sort interaction between them and they have resolved whatever issues/potential issues between them. It's probably all that's need because a subtle way of indicating things can make a story stronger instead of making a big point of smaller subplots.
A couple of questions: 1) I'm not a fan of Xander going back and being under a more domineering Angelus but if he didn't kill Xander the first time around and now they are lovers, wouldn't it even be less likely that Angelus would kill him or hurt him too badly because he's seen the use of humans? Is that attraction going to be more potent than anything with Wesley, even if it is for punishment? 2) If Lorne gets the PTBs to block the spell that allows the extra good luck etc. will Angel's soul come back or at least to the forefront as before? It seems like this is similar to the jello incident and probably the inspiration for the spell if Jenny is responsible. And will Xander and Spike think of the correlation? 3) And couldn't it be W&H (other than it being your muse)? In one comment you mentioned that the group really hadn't interfered with W&H's plans but wasn't a prophecy or two what drove them to try to bring out Angelus? I'm not sure where in the time line it meshes with you story.
Anyways, great twist and development of the characters and their relationship with one another.
