Yes, Bottie's so awesome! I had a heck of a time figuring out the best way to bring her back to life in a way that more or less fit the Bufftyverse. (Although it was even harder with Tara.)

It's a great idea for a fic! He's only popped up a little in my stories so far, and as far as I can remember he and Bottie haven't interacted ... I'll have to keep that in mind. I actually do have a crossover fic half completed in which he has a larger role, but my original fic writing started picking up and I haven't had time to finish it.
