This was wonderul!
Thanks for posting this here. I need to get back on LJ and get caught up with the past season of Seasonal Spuffy and all that I missed. RL kept me from checking LJ and I got sidetracked by other things (and sites...ahem)
I really enjoyed this alterna-Season 6. The inclusion of Angel was an interesting twist.
Blue is the new brown, indeed.
Author's Response: Thank you, hun!
There are some marvellous fics on SS this time round -as ever! I particularly liked Miss Murchison's offering. *grins*
So very glad you enjoyed my little ficlet. *beams*
Summary: Buffy is the connection in a prophecy involving two Vampires being tested so they can continue down the paths set before them. B/S and other couples we already know about in season 3/6 on ATS and Buffy respectively. Set after Couplet and OAFA.

I appreciate your candor and courage in posting and preserving the first fic you wrote. It's sad to see so many other authors who have taken their older stories down and refuse to share them any longer out of some sense of unwarranted "shame" that the stories aren't any good. The shame is that bits of our rich fandom disappear every day for no reason other than pride.
I applaud you for realizing that everyone starts somewhere and that all efforts usually have some value. I'll happily read this story and will look forward to reading others of yours to see your progression as an author and storyteller. I love stories written back in the years before the series ended and before we all knew how canon would shake out ~ they are fearless and creative in many ways that the post-Chosen/NFA stories written now refuse to be.
Thanks for sharing.
Author's Response: It's been amazing the response. I'm glad people appriciate a plot beyond cannon.

I'm so pleased that Spike thought to buy blood and fortify himself for the expected trials. A rude awakening for Angel. ::snerk::
Interesting dynamic you've set up with between Giles and Buffy. Actually, your tweaks to each of the character's canon personalities are neat to read.
Author's Response: The Buffy, Giles dynamic is important to me, but Ange did go on a supply run before leaving. All's well.

The boys are so different, aren't they? So are the Buffys: the Angel-era Buffy vs Spike's Buffy.
I would think that the PTB would hold Spike to his first uttered wish, however impulsive or un-thought-out it may be!
Author's Response: all he cares about is getting Buffy in the end.

I started to read this story on your LJ (based on Sotia's rec), but think it's better for me to read it as you post it here. Why, you ask? I fear losing entire days and nights caught up in the web of this story ~ I have time management issues and could easily lose six or more hours per day, not being able to stop myself from reading just one. more. chapter.
So thank you, for posting it here instead. I hope you'll dole it out slowly, as the handful of chapters I've already read indicate it is a tale with much intrigue and mystery, and those are best savored gradually.
Looking forward to a long, scary, exhilarating, sexy ride.
Author's Response: Thank you very much!
I hope to keep you intrigued.

I have to re-read this chapter. I couldn't concentrate on anything after "magically sexilicious."
Okay. Onyx eyes. C r e e p y. Everything going on with Spike is just too weird right now, and I can't wait to learn more about what's causing it.
Author's Response: "I have to re-read this chapter. I couldn't concentrate on anything after "magically sexilicious.""
HA! that's FAB! great. thanks a bunch (pssst he gets weirder)

I'm wondering just how much of that Giles got. Like, did he happen to catch the part where Spike said Angel had huge black wings? Did anyone? I'm thinking that's something to follow up on ~ or is it really meant to be a simple "aspect of the demon" thing?
"Not liking" is being too kind with regard to my feelings toward Angel right now. How dare he?!?
Author's Response: Angel... with wings? hmmm Interesting, isn't it?
hehe
And if you hate him now......
thanks babes

OT RANT: My God, the feedback/login system for this site sucks ass! I log in, read a chapter, compose feedback, hit "enter" and it NEVER ACCEPTS IT on the first try! More often than not, it logs me off inexplicably as well, so I have to go thru the whole damn cycle again just to read a story in my preferred skin. AND must re-write my feedback an average of three times before I can get it to "take"! Site Owner - A freaking "contact us" button on the home page to report problems would be helpful. /END OT RANT.

Addendum to my previous OT Rant: A "contact us" button that *works*, as the one on the home page goes to a "404 Not Found" page. /End Addendum to OT Rant
Anyway, sorry tibialisant, didn't mean for you to get caught on the end of that explosion. So many things I love about this chapter, let's see if I can recall my previously composed feedback.....
"I like the poisoned wine." LMAO!
Oh Xander. What fresh hell have you gotten yourself into? I can not wait to see how it plays out. His remembering of the scene was ooky and creepy, but hot nonetheless.
I love the whole community action theory of how Spike got sent back - makes much sense. And I thank you heartily for the "watermelon, watermelon" thing, 'cuz that's *all* I hear in crowds, being aurally challenged. So glad to have a new way to refer to it!
Author's Response: I am sorry you exploded... (+ (
But anyway, glad you enjoyed the chapter. That is most excellent!
Thanks

Funny, I *was* thinking that wasn't all that hardcore! Nice and dirty, but hardly hardcore. Good to know there's more coming.....up.
Xander has turned into quite the sex machine (RIP Isaac Hayes) and I'm thinking Faith is liking the new look on him.
Off to the next chappy!
Author's Response: "but hardly hardcore"
Hee, I like to think of breaking the bedroom as a polite introduction. Wait til the shower scene... oh I do like a shower scene..
hehe
thanks for reading

Fun times! Hilarious that Spike thought to shield Buffy's nudity but didn't stop pumping. Several curiosities in this chapter.... the pharmacy, to be sure. That was a whole scene of wackiness. The misplaced memories bleeding thru Spike's mind ~ ouch.
Thanks for ending it on a light-hearted note!
Author's Response: I do that occasionally, sometimes... well...
anyway, you're welcome and thanks for reading

Ooooooh. Freaky.
I'll be honest. This story is not an easy read. You really make your readers work for it. I often re-read each section once or twice before moving on just to be sure I've followed everything. It makes me glad that you're doling this out in small bits because otherwise my brain would hurt too much to continue.
Don't worry, I'm nowhere near giving up and trust that things will reveal, resolve, and make more sense eventually ~ and I'm entirely caught up in the web of your plotlines, but I think I need to find some fluff to balance all this mystery and angst out.
Author's Response: You know, I hadn't actually thought about whether it was an easy read or not, so your comment is interesting and thought provoking. I haven't written anything in well over a decade and was truly doing this for pleasure's sake, knowing I would be rusty. I write it pretty much off the cuff as well, or as I like to say,'it writes itself', which probably sounds quite demented. (not to worry, I know just where it's going, it's the getting there that sometimes surprises even me)
I am truly and pleasantly surprised that anyone besides me wants to read it though, and very pleased to read comments about it. I hope that though difficult or challenging it is still a pleasurable read and I do thank you for doing so.
I'm afraid I'm not terrible good at fluff so be warned: gets angstier.
Thanks again

"But they are frightening me."
My sentiments exactly after reading this chapter! Yikes.... I'm gonna bravely forge onward. Glad it's light outside right now.
Author's Response: soooo... how are ya doin? Still light out?
Gets wiggy this bit, hope it satisfies.
Thanks

Oh yeah. Witchy Willow is feeling a need to vent. Or should I say she's feeling a need to "ventilate" someone?
Wouldn't wanna be Angel anytime soon. Or anytime at all, for that matter.
Can't wait for the fallout. These past two chapters were "Restless"-worthy, with Spike playing the role of the first slayer. Brava.
Author's Response: "Ventilate" HEE! good choice of word.
really pleased that you enjoyed that bit, creepy though it was. Thanks very very much
