It felt kind of mean to kill him off, but it was still pretty fun. : )

I just finished writing the last chapter, so it'll be up as soon as it's beta'd!

Thanks for commenting! : )

Of course! This feels like it's all slotting into place nicely. I thought at first you'd be sending Billy back into the past but of course it has to be Penny! It makes so much sense.

But to have Dead Bowie being a proper villian! You evil swine! :-)

Can't wait for your final part!

I'm glad it's working! It was kind of crazy trying to figure out if I was tying up all the plot ends in this chapter... : )

Well, someone had to be villainous. He did end up with a more dramatic death then Billy though, so maybe that's something!

Aww damn, poor Billy. I'm still hoping for a happy ending that Penny doesn't die! *ignores the title*

If it's any consolation, the ending actually ended up being a mite more optimistic then I'd planned. That's not saying Penny lives, but still... : )

Thanks for commenting!

Is it bad that I just kept reading when Billy died and I had an epic spaz when Moist burst into the scene?

I thought it would be Billy, but no! And then I thought she would send him back half dead and everyone would be okay except for him but now SHE'S going back and this doesn't really have to be AU!

Except for she has super powers and the sharapnal isn't really going to hurt her because the roof caving in didn't and everyone's going to be happy and live awesomely together (what was Horrible's and Hammer's 'arrangement' by the way? :D) and Hammer and Horrible will have an 'arrangement' and they'll live happily together with Penny.

The end!

Ah! It's almost done :(

Billy was actually killed just so it would have to be Penny who went back. Originally he was going to be OK, but then I realized that it would make much more sense for Billy to go back then Penny...

I'm finally noticing all the plot holes that slipped by when I was writing this. : O I think Penny really was just lucky that she wasn't hurt when the roof fell in, and that it had nothing to do with any possible superpowers... Billy and Hammer's arrangement was to have a smexy three-way with Penny if they all survived. ; )

OMG. RETCON RAY.

Pleeeeeeeeease tell me this was a reference to what I think it was.

Also, you killed Billy! D:

Torchwood? : ) Yeah, kind of. I was desperately needing a name, and 'retcon' was definitely suggested by Torchwood. : )
