This was such a sweet chapter. Angsty in a way but it still had me almost teary-eyed in the end. How both Spike and Xander were able to let go of some of their fears to find the common ground they needed.

And I do believe this chapter has the best description of a D/s relationship I have ever read. Spike holding the power for Xander until he needs to have it back. So simple and beautiful, yet it says all there is to it. I'll have to remember that one.
