I saw the comment about her lying/not lying and was all what the hell?
I think I agree with you about S4. She doesn't like to keep secrets from those she cares about so it was probably a relief when Riley found out, plus cover stories get ridiculous as we see on SG-1. And I'd think part of her would like to not keep the secret here.
That said, as you've set it up, she's being treated normally. Nothing more is expected of her than is expected of everyone else and they obviously respect and like her, which has got to be a wonderful thing after the last couple years in Sunnydale. These are people who can take care of themselves and care about each other and no one person is more important (even if Mitchell's the leader) and it's such a healthy situation that way.
While I think they'd take her revelation more or less in stride (well, hopefully a little impressed that she could bench press Teal'c *snickers) without it changing their attitudes about her, the fear has to be there: that they'd find out and suddenly expect/demand so much more from her... And wow I've thought about this way too much and currently have far too little sleep. *g*
Shall shut up now.
That said, I look forward to your author's note rant.
Oh right, sadly I have absolutely no graphics skills though I have friends who are wonderful at them, including animations. That said, one my friend's has a list of links to icon tutorials including this one on animated icons.

Hopefully something there will help. :)
