A/N: Now I've killed two of Wes's girlfriends in 24 hours. I feel mean. Now, what to do with Virginia... ;-)


Also, I rec'd five non-LJ stories over at buffyversetop5. Check'em out, they're pretty darn good. I was thinking about reccing some Kennedy stuff for us non-haters, but my teflon memory could always use a jog, so all suggestions welcome...

Wesley really is probably the only one who'd care enough isn't he? I always find it annoying that when they kill off a character there's generally never any follow up on those it affects. Joyce's death was one of the few times and I still regard that as one of the best eps. That scene where Anya wails about how she doesn't understand death and Xander punches the wall is one of the most powerful in the whole series.
