This is the second "chapter" of a storyline I originally intended to be three or four chapters long? I wrote the first bit in '07 and then kind of... stalled on it. Mostly due to disenchantment with the entire Buffyverse.

I'm not much of a fan of seasons 6 and 7 either; I tend to use them as jumping off points for fixit fic of one type or another, or simply set something post-Chosen. =) Glad you gave this a chance!
