Yes, I feel a conclusion coming on. Although there are a few complications in my head that need sorting still. I'm still not sure how many chapters.
I have never made up my mind if this is an AU on normal canon or a variation on the wish-verse. I don't suppose it matters, since Buffy would not be due to arrive for a few months yet and I've always said that this story would be over before that. But on the assumption that she will arrive in this world, I decided that Willow would need a shove to make her hook up with her, since it was really Xander who was the active catalyst in canon.
Thank you so much, I'm so chuffed that you are enjoying it.
