I guess the only problem is that you still haven't cured Buffy of
her
"Lamenting Heaven" syndrome. Yes, she knows suicide is evil and
she
loves Willow and realizes that the revivification was the First
Evil's
plot to get Buffy to damn herself, but she still seems to have no
reason
to prefer this life to the afterlife she was torn from.
But, still,
quality ficmanship.
Hey, I
just stopped her from committing suicide, one miracle at a time!
I was trying to write the beginning of her
recovery, not the entire process. She's got a way to go. If later
I decide to do a sequel, I hope to cover the healing processes for both Buffy
and Willow.

"Once, years ago, I saved the life of a wise old
priest.
Grateful, he made a gift to me of these few precious words:
If
you find yourself on a cliffside, trapped,
with a hungry tiger waiting
above
and a hungry tiger waiting below,
and by chance you spy a single
strawberry
growing from the cliffside...
pluck the strawberry...
and
bite into it...
and taste
it."
