Luv, this story is one of the most heartwarming ones that I've read *anywhere*! Which says a lot. I'm not much of a Giles/Anya fan, but you make this seem plausible; as if Anya reall can finally be the one who chases his demons away. I like that. Perhaps introduce a little more of Anya's humor to it (aka embarrassing statements) but in this case, it's really not necessary.
