Mar 21, 2014 19:19

Guess what? I have new fic to post! Woohoo!

Okay, let me explain more fully: I wrote 90% of this story a couple of years ago, but stalled on the ending. Since I already had That Good Night sitting online as an unfinished WIP, I refrained from posting any of the new story. But in the past fortnight, after finally tying up my Fragments-verse ( Read more... )

I hope you enjoy where I take this!

You tease, you. I cannot wait to read but don't have time now. Aargh!

I am a teasing, teasing thing.

Well, it'll be posted in five weekly installments, so maybe you can catch up before the end?

Ah ha ha. What a great start! And...i already suspect Willow of being a bit of an idiot, heh.

Interesting, old school Buffy! I love it. :)

Hmmm, Willow. :-)

So happy to see you here! I hope you enjoy where I take this!

My first thought was "AH, oh yuck! But it's shadowscast, so let's see where she's going with it." Then I thought, "Oh, AU, Willow is the Slayer. Not sure that's my cup of---ah ha! I see what has happened here...." Next chapter, plze?

Haha, thanks for your faith! I knew it was a bit risky, readers-wise, making this story look at the outset like an entirely different kind of fic from what it actually is-but I was really committed to the gradual reveal!

You worked it beautifully. Just enough hints to keep a reader going until things begin to come clear. Nicely done!

What a totally excellent twist to S6. Looking forward to seeing where you take us. :D

Yay, happy to have you reading! :-)

(Timeline-wise, btw, Dawn has just started at the newly-rebuilt Sunnydale High, so this corresponds to early S7.)
