This fic rocks my world(s)! I am truly in awe of the amazing scope that the story covers and the depth of the writing.
First, I always wished that Buffy and Riley would end up together...even though it never happened in the show. So thank you for the wish fulfillment.
Second, Anya being such an important part of the plot was gratifying. I always felt that Anya deserved such a plotline in the show. I've always liked her character. Thank you for more wish fulfillment.
Third, I think this is way more interesting than season seven was...because the thought of an ultimate evil which wants to bring down hell on earth is far less interesting than the thought of humans in a universe much like our own discovering that evil exists and can take form(ULFs). Its interesting because that idea alone tests our concept of magic and what it means in the Buffyverse and in our universe.
Fourth and the most important point, I'm so super happy that Willows and Taras in many universes are together! Those images alone make my day. I must have read this fic over 7 times before I decided to reply....because I was so busy bouncing over the last parts...over and over again.
And...I decided to reply to shift this back up to the top of the archives yo. Everyone should read this fic...its gorgeous.
