Wow!  I suppose that was the paradox.  Good thing Buffy was able to keep up the charade enough to make a difference. 
Of course, the way Willow tells it, once past!Buffy figures it out, everything's undone. So Buffy doesn't know that! :D

Awesome!!  I love that there were consequences to PastBuffy realizing who "Anya" really is.

I am a little confused though on the Joyce situation.  Could FutureBuffy not change anything because A) she couldn't change the past that dramatically or because B) nothing could be done for Joyce.  If it is A - not changing the past dramatically I get it.  But if it is B - nothing to be done for Joyce I don't get it.  "Anya" could have told them and they could have taken her to the hospital to be checked out at least.  I just wasn't sure which it was.

Looking forward to more.
Hmm, the Joyce situation...I admit it, I tweaked canon a little here- we don't know if Joyce's aneurysm was sudden or not, but here I chose to make it something unpreventable, because I wanted Joyce to die and I wanted this scene, without the angst of Anya!Buffy realizing that it had to happen. So I ask you to suspend belief and pick the option that suits you best. :D

This was really a wonderful chapter - I loved the time you gave Buffy and Joyce together before her death.   This is one of my favorite chapter thus far.   Excellent use of the series characters -

Thank again for the qucik updates -  it is such a pleasure when writers can update their works regularly and with no long periods in between -  Your Readers do appreciate it.
 Thank you! When I realized that this fic could overlap with Joyce's death, I knew that I wanted to include a scene like that. I'm glad it didn't fall flat. 

Thanks for appreciating the speedy updates! I set up a deadline for my fics or I know I'd stop writing, so it helps me, too. :D

What an amazing chapter!!! Thrilling really. Wonder what's gonna happen next. The Joyce/Buffy scene made me cry, it was beautiful, and I especially loved that Joyce figured it out.
 I'm glad you liked it, and especially the Joyce scene. It was a tough one to write! :D

Brilliant chapter... you handled the Joyce business very well.  But what next??
 I appreciate that- I can't tell you how many rewrites it took before I liked what I'd done with it... :)
