1. Prologue/Chapter 1 by AnniePants [Reviews - 9] 
(3507 words)
Categorizing this story was a bit difficult, because it deals with the possibility of a past life AU within canon. Individuals may be human who aren’t usually human, but vampires and demons do exist. Some elements from this story are based loosely on the novel The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare. Credit for the characters goes to Joss and Mutant Enemy. Getting to the Spuffy will take a bit of time, but it’s the core of the story, I promise! The NC-17 rating also will not come into effect for quite a while. The first several chapters will be pretty PGish...I've been reading this stuff for a long time, and this is my first attempt at Buffyverse fic, so any response, positive or constructive, is much appreciated! : )

As I mentioned in the last AN, I'm headed out of town for over a week; so I have no idea when I'll be able to post next. Hopefully it won't be more than two or three weeks. But I left the story at a nice place: no evil cliffhangers! : )
