Yeah, running from a slayer, not smart. That will always be a losing proposition. Of course, summoning a vengeance demon, also not smart, but what other option does Buffy have?

To quote Dr. Sam Beckett, another time traveller: Oh boy!
I'm still not sure which Doctor is the First and which is pre-possession (since you haven't had him touch anything and Buffy hasn't forced the issue).
And Buffy is going to Ethan Rayne for help? After the messes with Eyghon and Halloween, that isn't going to convince her friends she hasn't gone completely bonkers.
Comments from author:
I think that Buffy is convinced that once she finishes, here, time will be reversed, and everything will go back to normal -- like it did in the episode where Cordelia made her wish. So she doesn't care what these friends think of her, because she won't have to deal with them for very long.

I would love if you kept Ethan around. He has so much potential as a character.
Comments from author:
I've tried to create an entire story around Ethan Rayne and the Doctor, but it wound up getting scrapped because it wasn't any good. You're right, there's a whole bunch of potential, there. I won't tap into it in this story (too much else going on, sorry. There were other characters I didn't manage to use the way I wanted to, either, due to the too-much-else-going-on factor).
If I figure out how to write Ethan better, I'll shove him into a future story.

Oh dear. Not only does the first evil have an immortal time traveling servant but Buffy has been stripped of her friends and support structure. At least she is still able to give them good advice about the band candy. Maybe explaining about that properly would help if she proved that she knew was what happening and then they would believe that she is from the future.

Hmm, The ninth before Rose? Or while Rose is sleeping? And, how much condescension does he have for humans just at the moment? Can't wait to read more.
