Very, very nice. I know you warned about choppiness, but I really think it worked. The jumps in time enhanced the story instead of distracting.
I'd like to see more of this verse, there's so much potential in it. Just the adjustments to the new personalities & memories would really throw them for a loop. Willow would have so much knowledge/wisdom dumped into her head that it would alter the way she saw the entire world and all the people in it. Especially since Aereon was very manipulative and ruthless.
Buffy & Xander would almost be in a strange sort of role-reversal. Buffy thinks of Xander as a 'brother' while Xander lusts after her. Riddick saw Kyra as a child while she lusted after him. And they were both damaged emotionally from trauma, so it would be interesting to see how Buffy & Xander dealt with the fallout of their new memories.
Anyway, no matter if you continue this arc or leave it as is, it was a fun and wonderful read.

I'm surprised that Buffy didn't leave Angel for Xander after being possessed by Kyra.

[shrugs] a) There's more than one way to lose a soul, and b) the relationship could have morphed into a more fraternal one. Haven't written anything about that. Onto something else, now, but have thoughts for continuing this in the back of my brain.
ooooooooooooo...I like...Are you sure this is going to be a one shot deal? I would love to know how Faith deals with Xander now...

It's a one-shot for now. Hmm... There have been some major changes in the personality of each of the three, so I can see Faith's introduction to the group as being ... different.

Dude! You just keep churning out these wonderful fics. I am in awe. Also, the way you chopped up the scenes made it flow wonderfully...if that makes any sense. lol

Very cool. I think the jumping back and forth in time helped tell the story more effectively. Also, I realize that this is a one shot, but I believe that there would be more stories in this particular verse; if you wanted, you could really take this into some very interesting territory. All that aside, well done and keep up the great work.
POE
