I'm such a sucker for Time Travel! I think it's my favorite fic-kink. And this story is very satisfying.

I am curious to know if there'll be repercussions to warning Giles about the mark of eigon. I'm not sure how much you plan to deal with that, but I'm intrigued!

[cindergal]

Thanks! Very glad you enjoyed it.

As far as repercussions, there will be at least one - but I'm really not going to go into that very deeply because this was really meant to be just a light, humorous piece (she says, three years later). *g*

Ooooh, sequel sequel sequel!

[cindergal]

Hee, thanks so much Barb!

But no no no on the sequel sequel sequel, I'm afraid. It took me years just to write this! But there will be epilogue epilogue epilogue! :-)

"Willow, the amount you don't know about magic could fill a bloody ocean!" he snapped.

Ooh! Smackdown: Ripper!

It worked! Now what!

[cindergal]

Yup, they're back to reality now. What will Buffy do? *g*

Thanks for reading!

She remembered Giles' warning about not doing anything to change history. Then again, when had she ever followed the rules? Hey, it had worked out okay for her, so far.

"I know all about what you're planning to do," she whispered. "Don't. Don't do it. Don't let any of them do it. Your friends will die."
Hmm... good idea but...

And then she took Spike's face in her hands and kissed him..."Aww..." Deirdre said as they reluctantly pulled away from each other. "A slayer and a vampire! That's kind of poetic, don't you think, Ripper?"
Hmm... where have I heard that phrase before...

"Willow, the amount you don't know about magic could fill a bloody ocean!" he snapped.
Oh Giles, you have no idea.

[cindergal]

Hee, well, don't look for anything that major to happen because of Buffy's warning - there's only an epilogue left, after all, and this story isn't really about that. Sorry!

And yes, I used a similar phrase on purpose, there.

Thanks so much for your comments!

Ah, nicely done. And now, will we find out whether Buffy's warning about Eyghon changed anything important? Or get a chance to see how Spike and Buffy's new relationship works out?
Loved Giles smackdown of Willow's arrogant comment about how the spell should have worked.

[cindergal]

Thank you! And yes, we will get to see a little bit of all that. :-)
