This story is on Hiatus trying to figure out how I am going to resolve several issues. First is Kendra. I skipped her introduction because Angel was already gone so how would Spike try and heal Drusilla. Second is the Oz pairing, okay that one is minor as I can move him to a minor role since he's not paired with Willow. But he does lead into the Tara pairing which is kind of crucial to season 5. Then we have Kendra again without Angel turning there is no Acathla unless I do what I've done before and do an OC insert for his role. Without Kendra's death Faith is not called and if Faith is not called she could be killed by Kakistos. Which makes the Dawn/Faith pairing pointless. Back to season 5 how do we resolve the fact Buffy is a Terminator. She can't die for Dawn as Terminators aren't able to self-terminate. Then there is the thing with Buffy being a Terminator she can't die anyways.

Sadly the more I thought about this story the more I realized I was slowly going to be walking myself into a corner. Some of what I brought up can be worked around in a rewrite. Make Dawn Oz and Tara's pairing and Dawn potentially becomes the witch (or Dawn and Willow become witches, though Dawn would have to be if she is paired with Tara). Which sadly means Faith goes back to her canon role (unless I somehow manage to figure out how to get past The Gift at which point Tara is dead so Dawn could be paired then). Insert the OC for the Angel roles in Surprise/Innocence on through Becoming Part 2 which kills Kendra and gets Faith called. But what do I do about The Gift? How do I get the story past that hiccup to do the final two seasons? Unless I end the story with The Gift, which would remove the Dawn/Faith pairing all together..

Is anyone has ideas how to move this story forward feel free to PM me.
