User rahirah referenced to your post from The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Tuesday, November 27 - Wednesday, November 28 saying: [...] and Chapter 2 [...]

Ooh, not what I expected! Not the timeframe or actions. Definitely waiting for the next instalment.

All the changes are pretty oblique. They shouldn't be too predictable (hopefully!). What were you expecting, out of curiosity?

[kerry_220]

I’ve read a fair few time travels and Buffy usually ends up somewhere close to her tower dive or somewhere close to the first evil’s emergence. To be fair, she is usually there for some time.

This is very different because, well she’s a baby and it’s a very narrow time frame. It’s also exciting because you’ve left that baby in peril and we don’t know where Buffy is going back to.

Also, Spuffanon puts her in a timeframe where Spike is there to moon over from the get go. Not that I’m complaining about that. Pining is of the good.

[stuffnonsense]

Yes, this is definitely not that kind of time travel!

What's really interesting is that Buffy knows all this fighting stuff, but her younger body is not up to snuff! Luckily, the conversation with Giles went the right way...
I loved this chapter as much as the other one, I'll be very happy to read the rest of the story on Elysian.

Thank you so much for liking the bit about Buffy's body not being quite up to scratch, and for continuing to love the story. )

This was very exciting! I am really looking forward to the next installments and seeing what has changed due to future!Buffy's actions.

Next instalment up tomorrow! Thanks so much for being excited and for taking the time to review.

”All through the drive, Joyce was rolling out every bit of advice she’d ever come across on how to help your child (for which read six-year-old) feel less nervous about their first day of school

Thanks so much for reading, and even more for such a lovely, meaty comment! Chapters 3 and 4 are now available through the links provided

"Also a nod to one of (I think Quinara's) short stories, where Buffy gets old, and her fashion sense has become bad enough that she wrongly assumes someone is a vampire, when really they are fashionable."
Oh, I remember that one ^^ (vaguely enough that I'm not sure who wrote it -- I want to say rahirah for some reason, but could have been Quinara or someone else). It was great! :D

Found it - it was Quinara. https://archiveofourown.org/works/892532
