Agreed. Trans-dimensional Harmonics and Desperate Lies are some of my favorite chapters I've written.
My beta for the story, "Amy" who I used bits and pieces of to fill in some of the gaps her sparse appearances left in Amy Madison's characterization and I once had a conversation about how...

---Sunnydale High Parking Lot : Friday Morning Before School---
Willow turns around and her shoulders slump. "Jerk... we don't feel like dealing with you right now. Can you just... go away?"
Jack twitches, fire erupting from under his shirt. Then he vanishes. Not burns up...
***POV Harmony***
---Sunnydale High – Hallways : Friday Morning Before School---
Cordelia looks at me sadly. "Everything is just a mess right now. I just-" She sighs. "I think we're going to try to work through it."
She thinks they're going to try and work through it? I think I might puke...
A/N - I've been told by the folks that read this on SpaceBattles that it may be worth noting that the darker turn Jack's life starts taking doesn't stick and that the story rebounds pretty hard very soon.
---Sunnydale Roadways : T = +8 Hours---
Diana Dormer was still alive?
Okay, I guess that...
---Sunnydale High – Pool : T = +10 minutes
Xander and Timothy do a fish impression for a moment. Under less obnoxious circumstances I'd probably find watching Xander's face as his mind reboots hilarious.
"...hey! Why am I evil Spock? You're the one-"
"No!"
"No?"
"You're not Spock." I point...

"I hope so. My name is Lindsey McDonald, I'm an associate with Wolfram and Hart. I'm looking for a Jack Winters." Lindsey smiles at me. I'm fairly certain he knows exactly who I am... Or at least he thinks he does.
Waving my people back, I...
Well, Jack certainly agrees with you... but his Mother basically carved "Buffy sucks and we hates her" (say it in the gollum voice for best effect) onto the inside of his skull.
Point of order: AIUI, Joyce died of an aneurysm / brain bleed that would be filed under 'complications from...

---Sunnydale High - Library – After Last Period Monday---
I race into the library. "Giles! This is horrible!"
...
I find him at his desk already polishing his glasses. "Yes. Quite. What is horrible, exactly?"
"Faith and Jerk have a rail cannon!"
"A what?"
"Oh! They're...
***POV Faith***
---Sunnydale High Classroom : Monday 3rd Period---
I take my seat in Ms. Tenghast's reading class.
Usually it's one of my favorite classes. A super easy class, just like X-man said, we just read a bunch of books and sometimes have to talk about them.
Today... it means...
***POV Angel***
---Summers residence - Backyard---
My right arm is definitely broken.
You have to help them. Get up off the ground.
Dru's newest childe continues yelling. "Was it all just some kind of joke to you?" His voice is followed by a loud cracking sound.
I try to roll to my feet...

---Winters Residence - Atrium: Tuesday Afternoon---
"Yeah. Walked in on her and Xander."
I stare at Oz. Oh, Gods Damn It.
I was really hoping that the silver lining in the mess my Brother made was that Willow and Xander would manage their little 'de-lusting spell' in peace. I could have...
---Winters Residence – Lab : Monday, Nov 16th - 1AM---
"So, what are ya gunna do?" Faith asks as she helps me carry the gurney down the staircase.
I glance down at Warden Liam's sedated body. "Put Liam here back together. Dump him-"
"No. I mean... I get that." Faith rolls her eyes at me...
---Winters Residence : Sunday Morning..? Already?---
My tattoos flare for a moment. I make a quick note of the time in the margins. That makes four times in about as many hours that they've done that.
It's a strange itching sensation too. I suspect that somebody, somewhere, is having a tough...

---Summers Residence : Tuesday of the Previous Week (happens during 33)---
"I don't know, Hank. Maybe because she's our only child and she wants to see you! Lord only knows why, because I certainly don't. But you go right ahead and enjoy your time in Madrid with your...

---Willy's Bar : Saturday just after Sunset---
Sitting down at Willy's bar, I order a pint of A neg with a shot of whiskey in it.
Willy knows better than to try and cut my blood with that orangutan crap he serves the fledges but I give the drink a sniff first anyway just in...

***Amy POV***
---Winters Residence : Tuesday Night---
I drag the last hamper into the laundry room.
The laundry I had sorted out into piles by color is of course all dumped on the floor in the middle of the room.
"Seriously!? Again? You're worse than Red."
Jack looks up at me from where...

---Summer's Residence : Saturday Evening---
I sip my hot cocoa and lament the length of Joyce's dining room table. Sitting on the long side makes it exceptionally difficult to surreptitiously observe Dawn whilst pretending I'm watching my Brother and Joyce play out their canon conversation...
---Winters Residence : Late Wednesday Night---
Faith practically pounces on Amy when we get back to the house. "Did you have a good time? How was it?" She's practically vibrating in place. I sigh. I recognize those warning signs. Somebody found the candy stash again.
Amy laughs. "Fantastic. I...
---Hotel, Budapest---
Amy opens the hotel room door. Her eyes are looking a little bloodshot and she smells like coffee. "Everything taken care of?" Her voice is low, but steady.
"Yeah." I answer in kind as I step into the room, closing the door behind me. "Did you sleep at all?"
"No." She...
