You know this already, but I love this story. I love the insight into what season four Giles and thinking and feeling. He must be so desperately lonely. He's the lone grown up in a group of children; the woman he loved is dead; and he really hasn't made any other friends in Sunnydale that he can just be himself with. And Xander's feeling left out and left behind as well. For a fic with so many LOL moments, this touches on some very serious issues.
