I loved it.

Thanks so much!

This was a clever premise, very well realized. I love the idea of Tru mucking about in the Buffyverse and finding it too weird for her taste. Her take on the Angel and Xander dynamic and the gang taking the advice of mysterious strangers was also a delight.

*g* Well, all Tru has is time travel and resurrected corpses. Just think what else the Buffyverse has to add! Thanks for commenting.

Fantastic! I've always wanted to have Tru saving someone in the Buffyverse, but could never figure out how...

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Thanks! Honestly, I think there's potentially a lot more to this story, but I did enjoy just dropping Tru in at that point (and it does explain how Xander found Angel in a crisis; one of those annoying unresolved queries). Maybe someday I'll write an epic version...

I haven't seen Tru, but this was fun. Also, I like the little tip o' the hat to Heroes. I am always trying to explain to people that, no, Claire is not like Buffy, except that they are both cute blondes. *sigh*

Well done, lassie.

I think 'she saves dead people' sums up Tru enough to be going on with! I was very tempted to get in a 'save the cheerleader' too, but juuust managed to hold off. Thanks for reading!

Well, we all know Buffy used to be a cheerleader, so we get the 'Heroes' reference anyway. :-) And I liked how you fitted this in before Season 3 so there would be no Eliza-Dushku-lookalike related confusion...

Nice!

Thanks! I so badly wish, for the purposes of this fic, that Tru came before Faith. But sadly that's beyond my powers...
