Did William get Buffy pregnant? If so, then it should be fitting that out of all the misery and loneliness that Buffy and Spike have endured that something good come out of it like a baby that never would have been if not for how the timeline got changed. It was good that Buffy revealed to the Scooby’s all that she endured, it makes it more explainable as to her over-reaction to Faith. The scythe in this timeline has magical healing powers which I like and who have to say that in this new timeline that whatever magic’s it has to super-power the potentials, that it only does it on a temporary basis when evil out-balances the good in the world. That way, the potentials can be trained and “on call” as they may be needed and returned to normal strength once the evil has been kept at bay. Or even harness the combined strengths of the potentials to roll them all into Faith and Buffy like the spell used on the episode “Primeval” to super-power Buffy to defeat Adam on the TV series. Rupert is going to be a papa! The Scooby’s are growing exponentially and that is a good thing! Still, Dawn is a missing piece of the puzzle and can only hope that she is happy in another dimension. If the theme “hearts desire” is to be followed, then Anya could also use her own wish to improve their lives monetarily. Who knows if Buffy invented scrunchies in this new timeline and Anya is to be her CEO in running that enterprise. Your muse is writing this verse like a chess player with all the complex scenarios and strategies that make it unpredictable, which I like! Wraps up a suggestion box to fill with outrageous ideas to gift to your muse. First suggestion, is to have Anya invent the female finger vibe! He is naughty enough to research this idea to death! *Wears Glazed expression thinking of him being the little researcher rivaling Giles in that department!*

Author's Response: Damn my muse and his big mouth! I'm telling ya, he's getting waaaay to predictable ... you guys keep guessing my plots! I won't tell you which bit you guessed right, though ... but damn! You'll know when you see it ... it won't be until the next story arc. Ok ... rant over ... definately need some punishment for my loose-lipped muse! hmmmmmm .... {{heeehee!}}

Interesting theory on the scythe working differently in this world with the Slayers/Potentials ... I'll pass that idea on to Blue Boy and let him knock that around a bit... I haven't forgotten about Dawn in the other dimension and I'm pretty sure my muse has a trip planned there in the future to see how she's doing ... maybe she can come for a visit, assuming she's the 'good Dawn' that Buffy met in the 'wish-world' and not the brat from the Evil Joss dimension....

LOL! Female Finger Vibe ... yep, Anya would research that one for sure, pretty sure Buffy and Spike would help, too ... heehee! I'll defnately pass that idea on, too!! Right now ... @_@ heehee!

Thanks, as always, for your insightful and idea filled reviews! Even if you have already guessed at least *one* future plot line ... {{sigh}} -p4s 2011.06.27
