I Am What Am I by MMcGregor

Great story I do love a good time travel and this is a good one. The story opens with him talking to his daughter as he is preparing to go back and do it all again in order to prevent one of the loves of his life from being ripped from heaven. He knows this is the right thing to do and not everything will go his away. He has to live with knowledge that his beloved daughter may not be born and that he will have to live over the worst times of his life but it is worth it to prevent the end of the world.
The author does a good job with the flashbacks so you get an idea of how he became the man known as Protector Harris and just how he became involved with Faith and Buffy. After he slips up he decides not to hide anything because it did not work well the first time so why repeat it. The author describes him well near the end:
He was Xander Harris. Sometimes that meant he was the Zeppo, an under-achieving do-gooder. Sometimes it meant he was Protector Harris, an over-achieving world leader. Sometimes it meant he was Teacher, who passed on years of knowledge and wisdom to others, so that the world might be better served. Sometimes he was Daddy, who cared for no one as much as his baby girl, who was more confident now than ever that he would one day see his daughter again.
