I will have more out, hopefully this weekend, but I agree this is the end of a conflict and question Xander has carried around in him for a long time... he knows he isn't weak and he may be cracked, but he isn't broken, at least not in the way Leshar tried to break him.

And I do like Xander feeling strong... even strong enough to challenge Spike even while still accepting Spike as his Dom. He's found a way to meet all his needs.

And thanks for the typo catches. You are so good at catching this stuff. I'll fix that before I post to the web!
