Buffy appreciating Xander

[sosa lola]

I'm going to make a Buffy/Xander friendship video and there are so many moments where Xander boosts up Buffy's confidence with a pep talk or comforts her or tells her how much he appreciates her, but I was only able to find three moments where Buffy did the same:

1) Inca Mummy Girl, Buffy thanking Xander for bringing her back to life.
2) Buffy defending Xander against the watchers' "And the boy? He has no power."
3) Buffy telling Xander he's her strength in End of Days S7.

Can you give me more moments? Please? Haven't made a BtVS video in years. Very excited. 😀

Thank you! The "key guy" from Graduation Day is perfect.

Gosh, it's hard to try to remember... here are some scenes that I like:

• I’m not sure that it counts because it’s a dream sequence but I think it’s fun... In teacher’s pet, Xander dreams of saving Buffy from vampire Jesse, and they have a moment. I don’t know that it matters because it’s in Xander’s fantasy. I guess it’s more of a funny scene.
  
• Also, in the end of “The Pack”, Willow thanks Xander for saving her life, and Buffy looks on and smiles. It’s not a big scene but it’s sweet. It’s between Willow and Xander, but Buffy definitely appreciates him.
  
• In “The Freshman”, Buffy is really down when college didn’t start so well, and she has her ass kicked by a vampire. She returns to the Bronze, and tells Xander she missed him. It’s a sweet little scene.
  
• I love it when he runs after Buffy in “Prophecy Girl”, sees her drowning, and resuscitates her.
  
• And in “Killed By Death”, when he stays in the hospital to guard Buffy, and stands up against Angelus. He mocks him for loving Buffy, but he leaves.
  
• in “Primeval”, when Buffy is fighting Adam, Xander, Willow and Giles are making a spell, and Xander is the heart.

Good luck with that video!

Does BB&B count? At the end when she gives him credit (rightly or wrongly) for not giving in to tempation that is kinda picking him up when he feels really ashamed, although she is not excusing the act itself.

Hugging Puffy-Xander after hitting him too hard and he gives her a pep-talk. 🙂
I can't remember which episode though- S5 for sure. All I do know is that it was sweet.

Haha, I love that. Love the puffy-suit.

I'm gonna use this moment for Xander appreciating Buffy and boosting her confidence. "The problem is not you. Don't do this to yourself, please." "Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you."

Not exactly what you're looking for, but I love the scene after her loses his eye where Buffy looks at the pic of herself, Willow, and Xander. Would go well with the other scene from End of Days.

All my favorites were mentioned - but I truly love the 'you are my hero' speech, and the season 7 speech where he tells the potentials about Buffy

Would also go well with the pirate costume - a little meta

Yeah, there are so many moments with Xander complimenting Buffy, which is why I'm asking about Buffy appreciating him. "You're my hero" speech is truly amazing, "What would Buffy do?" has become a fandom catchphrase.

Thank you so much, guys, been quite busy with RL this week, but hopefully next week I'll start working on the video. I'm very excited. I like vidding. Last video I made for BtVS was probably way back in 2006.

It is a wonderful moment, thank you. Also, the moments @bespangeled mentioned reminded me of Buffy's "I'm so happy you're back I missed you" hug in the Freshman when Xander showed up. (I remember when I first watched this episode, my sister who read a hundred Spander fanfiction by that time and had more BtVS knowledge than I did told me that Xander wouldn't be back from his road trip until mid-season. I was so disappointed. But when he showed up like that, we were so surprised and delighted, and my sister fell off her chair, I think we were far happier than Buffy when he showed up. 😀)
