Beautiful! I'm ashamed to say this is the first piece of fiction of yours I've ever read - but rest assured it definitely won't be the last! I loved how you used the Troll and the Billygoats! Because that is exactly what could have happened in the show (like the whole Hansel and Gretel bit of season 3).

Buffy and Spike were frustrating - which is, IMO, spot on for their characterizations.

Fantastic work, thanks for sharing!
