Re: Snippet: Second Chances

Anne-Lise,

Powerful stuff (loved Willow still remembering Buffy even after
forgetting her features, and the description of "her tacit caress") set
against an epic backdrop, where even the Hosts of Heaven are divided. I
would love to see this developed into a full-fledged fic--as enjoyable
as the snippet was, I felt cheated because there was obviously so much
more to tell. Most of your snippets are really just short fics with a
lot of the setup skipped, but this one felt like it was lifted bodily
out of a much greater work, and I want the full version, darnit! (And,
yes, I realize that would entail a serious job o' work. But I can hope,
right?)

My only real complaint is that Willow's story (Buffy's beloved suffers
in Purgatory, until returned by the PTB to fight at Buffy's side) is an
almost exact copy of Angel's, aside from the fact that B/W got the sex
that B/A didn't. Yes, it's a logical extension of how the show has
turned Willow into yet another guilty murderer seeking redemption, but
all that was missing was a miraculous snowstorm :p

Still, obviously, loved it. Thanks.

Dan
