This is a wonderfully tantalising fragment of some mysterious episode in Buffy's life, with the evocatively-named planet and all. The way River recognises her power, and Buffy in turn sees something in River - there's a lot of promise there. Thank you!

This was beautiful. I really liked the pacing of it, the perfectly synchronized way the battle seems to unfold and the moments of recognition that Buffy and River seem to have with one another. Well done!
