Spoilers: Through season 5 of Buffy. Things go AU in early season 6, especially after Tabula Rasa. There's also a reference in this chapter to Connor before he comes back and goes all teen angst.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything associated with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It all belongs to Joss Whedon.
Note: I seriously wouldn't be surprised if this story's been forgotten by most. Honestly, I wouldn't blame you since I just sort of let this sit there while I happily explored the world of crossovers. But if you haven't forgotten this then I'm letting you know now that I haven't forgotten about this story - it's just not high up on my list of fics to write unfortunately. Fickle muse and all. But thanks to
pappy123 for getting me thinking of this again! Written for
