Author's Note:

It's done! It's finished! ::does a little dance around the room:: This took way longer to write than I originally planned. Hope everyone liked it. I'm not starting on the rest of the Ri'par series immediately because I still have some school projects to work on (wasn't college supposed to be fun?) and I want to work on some of my other stories, which have been complaining about feeling neglected of late. But there will be more, I promise.

Here's a list of plans I have for the series, not in any order. I've added a few ideas to the last list.

Ethan's comforting Giles after Angelus kidnapped and tortured him.

Ri'par and Ethan first meeting, their relationship, etc. (Expect this one to be a longish one.)

The story of Gregory: I just have to write how my new favorite vamp came into being.

Dawn: I hate her, I hate her being brought into the show. Expect Ri'par's Faerie powers to do something about this.

Ri'par's father: We know he doesn't approve of Ethan and he's currently out of the picture so what happens when he comes back?

Buffy: The will be an entire story focusing on how Giles and Buffy get their Watcher/Slayer relationship straightened out.

Faerie: There will be at least one story taking place in the Faerie realm, possibly depicting Ri'par's life as a child, possibly having the Scoobies take an trip to Ri'par's home. Probably both.

One steamy sex story about Ethan and Ri'par. Every author has to have one. Don't exect this on to be on ff.net. By the time I feel confident enough to write it, I'll have my own webpage.

Gregory might be back! That little trinket has more powers than Giles let on and Gregory's a pretty smart demon.

You may have noticed Riley and Anya aren't in this. Some stories in this series might not be Ripper-centric. I have plans for Xander and a few ideas for Buffy as well. They both deserve better than the two losers they were saddled with (apologies to Riley and Anya fans, I just don't like them).

Expect some stories that take place in this universe, but not with any of these characters. How Shakespeare got that prophecy is something I'd like to explore, for instance.

Yes, the group from LA will probably be showing up at some point. The original version of this story was actually going to take place in LA instead of Sunnydale so I still have some ideas about Angel and Wesley reacting to Giles' identity.

And if anyone has any details they'd like to know more about, let me know, maybe you'll get a story, I'm always willing to trade stories as well. You give me one I want and I give you one you want. LOL

Kim: I love having a fan! Thank you. I'm so glad you like my stuff! The next update should be happening to Watching Slayers and Swords, so keep an eye out for that. Hopefully I'll get a chapter done sometime next weekend, as I finally finished redoing my outline.
