Aw. Lovely reworking of both the episode and the fairy tale. Thanks for participating!

Love this! What a wonderful idea and beautifully executed.

[zanthinegirl]

really nicely done. The Slayer dream was perfect; that filmy dream-logic and repeated visuals work for me. And that episode makes me crazy; I like your re-do much better! Though I'm low-key craving curry now...

Very nice mixing of canon and fairy tale. With a hint of Spuffy to come.

That was great! What a good fairy-tale dream.

"But he’d just… left at some point in the middle of the night."
Oh no, oh man. Season 5 Briley is just painful on so many levels.

"To sarcastically suggest that maybe he should see a doctor if he needed four hours in the bathroom."
Hee >:D

Poor Buffy.

"And not random stuff about the sun going down if she kissed Riley. She’d kissed him lots of times, now, and she still had no idea what that meant."
Right? :D

That's a good crystal to have.

Oh, very nice! I am into this symbolic basket of Scoobies.

LUMBERJACK SPIKE \o/ I like that he's also obviously a wolf.

"“I… just like having a bit of wood about, is all,” he said unconvincingly, looking down at the ground and kicking at it like a little boy who had been cornered doing something wrong. Then he sighed. “Thought maybe your mum and the little bit could use some firewood.""
Eep <333
He's been cornered doing something right <3
