I feel it for Anya.  No one listens to her and she has dozens of lifetimes more experience than any of them.  Really stupid they are sometimes. 

It won't end well for them if they don't look at themselves.

sigh.
End of S5, Anya proves that the reason she was never more involved was because she didn't care (not stupidity or obliviousness): she suggested using the troll hammer and the dagon sphere. I took that and ran with it. But they dynamic has already been set - no one is used to listening to Anya.

I know what's coming. At the end of this story I'm going to have a post-holiday let down. Which is about as good as it is bad! I am so THERE! I won't be critiqing the chapters, too busy reading!!! Must have MORE!

Thank you so much!

Thank you

So Buffy's a little more disturbed and confused than on the show. Can't say I'm surprised. In fact, then I was surprised that she returned with most of her faculties intact.

Also always hated the way that Anya's and Spike's knowledge and experience were largely ignored. Looks as though you're rectifying that.

I think the show skipped over a lot of the immediate aftermath: Buffy thought the hitchhiker was all in her head, after all. I'm just expanding it a little. Gotta make use of the knowledge of the elderly ;)

Um... can't help noticing that this isn't chapter 6 but rather chapter 5 repeated....
Fixed now. Sorry!
