When I was a kid, I was Willow. I mean, my parents somehow picked out a summer camp that was Christian but advertised itself as welcoming to all, and really minimized the whole Christian thing. But when I got there, it turned out that they had Mass and people actually came up to eat the wafer, and the whole time, I felt totally out of place and strange being the Jewish kid.

Anyway--this whole story was like a big flashback. I only wish I had a Spike back then. Or a Xander. Or, better yet, both!

I'm not a big AU fan, but there's something about Spander that seems to lend itself to the strangest experiments, and I love seeing how you kept the essential characters in place in such a different place.`
