I'm very excited to see how those plans turn out. The way you've set the stage there is a lot of potential for interesting plot developments. I'll be looking for the next update. Nice job.

You do relied you have a year before spike shows up. I love the idea but I hate to wait through all the first season drama. But keep going.

 *Just knowing it’s going to happen doesn’t necessarily give me the power I need to stop it.*
Very true, and I'm glad Buffy realises this from the start. Can't help thinking about ways the potion might end up making things complicated... magic always has consequences..
More please..

She put the clear, water-looking potion that can cause brain damage if over-used into a WATER BOTTLE???
OK, Buffy's not thinking too clearly here.  I hope she doesn't come home from the Bronze thirsty...

Actually, as I was reading, I thought how great it was that you built in problems with the memory potion.  I like that - you have made it useful and a problem all at the same time - that is very JW of you. :)  I also LOVE how you had Buffy realize she might not be able to change everything.  That makes it more interesting.  Good chapter!

The potion sounds kinda tricky -- I look forward to more.

I'll be checking in on this fic to see what you have in store! Keep it up!

Loved it..and the memory potion is just right. Enhanced sharpening will make it hard to miss the details and clues even if sometimes fate will be just fate.

Ah so Buffy had to bust her memory a little. But having this advantage (to remember) is something that will be very useful.
Looking forward if she can save Jesse too.

I love magic in these fics! There's always some logical and reasonable reason for the magic to do something crazy and unexpected. I can't wait to see what you come up with for the memory potion! Buffy gets trapped in bad memories? Buffy remembers Spike and all sorts of feelings crash over her? She is thinking about a fight and a bunch of other fights in her head distract her? Or something I could never guess?

I love Joyce recognizing something different in Buffy, and seeming to react as if Buffy isn't a ditzy sixteen year old, even if she doesn't know why. Buffy's POV in this story is also fresh and interesting without slowing down the narrative.

Thanks for updating and looking forward to more!

Happy about the update! I like all the ideas for your stories, though some of them seemed a little detached from how the characters think, but this chapter was really impressive. Buffy's thoughts and feelings were perfect, being old enough to be a different version of her, but fitting her personality and priorities very well. I like how you don't fill the chapter with paragraphs of description of irrational feelings or inward arguments, and the simplicity of your descriptions makes the action of the scenes and characters very real in my mind. Great job.
