A great story. I liked the part where Angel was thinking about Buffy.

*The Grammar Avenger*: A few spelling mistakes, one that really rang my bell being the use of the spelling "their" for the word "there." Common, but glaringly obvious to a reader who knows his/her grammar stuff. Contemplations is spelt with one p (dunno if that's a typo, but figured I'd point it out). A few typos- maybe another read through before posting could eliminate those. Two sentences I read didn't complete a thought or were unclear or redundent. "How he wondered what would Buffy do if her where to drive a stake through it." I know you're making a reference to his heart, maybe the heart she owns (as you mentioned earlier) but it's unclear, you might wanna clean it up. Also: "... found out what he was and she driven mad, almost to the brink of insanity." If you're driven mad, you go insane, it's a given. Redundent.

*As a Reader*: Grammar aside, this was an interesting take on Angel's outlook on life. Very Buffy/Angel. Good paragraph on Darla. Reincarnation thing is different, a brighter look than the "Angel's going to rot in Hell" theory. Rather uplifting, yet ironically depressing. Kudos.

Good detail! I personally hate Bangel over Cangel but your story and it rocked. Are you planning more?

fascinating take on the three people Angel loved. Very nicely written.
