I thought this story started quite slow, and was quite bored with it for the first page or so, but it did get more interestin and pull me in. I don't mind the POV story telling, can actually quite enjoy it on occasion. I liked this one after the story got me involved.

I really like anya being a vengence demon. But Ithought the actual end of the relation ship was a cop out for Xander. I would have like it more if they had explored more of him making a choice and admitting to partial responsibily to anya. Admitting that he had been waverine due to Buffy's reacton to him.

I also found the characterizations off. The characters didn't quite ring true. But despite that, I quite enjoyed reading this story after the first 2 pages or so.

When fan fiction has these flaw, it of course bring the score of the story down. But I thing the most important part of scoring for me. . . is can the story pull me in enough that I enjoy it despite the faults/flaw, this one did.

This was a nice little story but it had problems. I felt the characters weren't in character for much of the story. The author didn't manage make it believable that Buffy without memories would cling to Xander so much. I didn't believe that Willow wouldn't be mindful of Xander's feeling when she visited him at the construction site. There was just too much of this story that I couldn't buy for me to recommend it.

My score 70.
