I am reminded of two of my most favorite comments on this fic from the SB threads.
I don't often get to utterly destroy a villain who entirely deserves eet with cruel mercy. I quite enjoyed the opportunity to do so in this story.
Likely because it's harder to write for. I know of only two Jumpchain authors who have successfully gotten full-length stories, and not just the usual build-and-travelogue-summaries, out of Jumpchain... and one of them is myself and the other one was SJ-Chan, who passed away.in late 2023.
I was being polite and not excessively beefing on what exactly had killed the muse, yes.
But yes. Canon nitpickers - and nitpicking over disputed canon, at that! Backseat drivers. Obsessive munchkiners who wanted... eugh, let's not even.
That one was right down there along with the...
When I was originally writing this story the muse died at the end of the Buffyverse SB jump, and it lay fallow for circa two years before I finally realized that I didn't need any more jumps to have the Malefactor be defeated... all the necessary pieces were already there.
As for 'short', this...
Extras: Omake - Through The Looking Glass (Buffyverse SB)
...I'm on a pay phone." I finished.
"'Kay!" she chirped brightly, and after an exchange of goodbyes we both hung up.
Alternate timeline, check.

Canon!Buffy POV
I ducked underneath the big vampire's roundhouse swing and stepped into him with a hard forearm shove, knocking him...
...his officer's cap to me, and we both turned and hurried along our separate ways.
My goodness, what a strange day this was turning out to be.
*****
Author's Note: What a horrible manipulative sneaky pants our captain is, even in the AU where he wasn't brought to Beetleburg until the...
...is one more thing." I grinned back at him challengingly, and then turned and knelt in front of Violetta.
"Lady Mondarev, would you marry me?"
*****
Sunnydale, California
I stood outside the door of Giles' house, the one I'd originally rented to him and had ultimately had Angel sell to...
..."You think you can-" the Benefactor tried to intimidate me, and I stared up at him serenely.
"'Benefactor', I've come to bargain." I said smugly.
*****
It took almost a full year of me living in my Warehouse off of the Necessary Supplies to finally get the 'Benefactor' to realize that...
...the bastard." Cordelia snarled.
"Oh, we have." I said. "And ironically enough, you just brought the final piece of the puzzle that we needed."
*****
About a dozen miles into my dramatic return drive to Sunnydale I'd realized that I was being stupid. As far as the Mayor knew I was still...
...over to the door and knocked on it to be let out. The guard did so, and then escorted me back to my cell.
I was out of there two days later.
*****
"Hey, Jonathan. Nice car." Mr. Trick smirked at me, standing next to my car. I'd just left the back gate of the detention center, where one...
...like the school librarian holding an after-hours tutoring session just as the doors swung open and the people with suits and badges entered.
*****
We got shut down hard. Giles was barely able to explain the medieval weapons, and thank God Jonathan and Angel had been so careful about...
...you would? Recap everything Mister Fairchild ever mentioned about his origins." I requested.
"Well, he told Xander one time that-" Willow began.
*****
Jonathan POV:
We recycled the Orb of Lurconis into the demonic underworld's occult artifact trade, and let word of it deliberately...
And in this fic she's also got massive jealousy of both Jonathan (for his intellect) and Amy (for her magical potential and alleged magical training 'favoritism' - even though Willow's own is just as high, she perceives herself as being unfairly competed against) on top of that in addition...
When I first posted this story on SB, I got an incredible amount of flak from Willow fans who swore volubly that I was 'bashing' her character.
They didn't really want to acknowledge that the only thing this fanfic has done to Willow's slide into evil is to accelerate the timetable from season...
...than simply training."
"What's that, sir?" I asked him quickly.
"I'll need you to go back and make them think they've won." the Mayor told me.
*****
Jonathan POV:
After several days of self-isolating- sulking, really- Willow apparently turned a corner and rejoined the Scooby Gang as...
...to decide, right now, exactly how far we are prepared to go."
Buffy pulled out her chair and sat down again, and slowly everyone followed suit.
*****
"Balthazar!" Buffy called, as her, me, Xander, and Amy entered the abandoned warehouse on Devereau street where he'd set himself up...
...to the nonexistent mercy of the same people who cold-bloodedly set Slayers up to get eaten by vampires on their eighteenth birthday.
I had to.

Oz POV:
I'd fallen in love with Willow at first sight. It had been one of those intuitive things; you couldn't really analyze it. And my...
...it and began to play back the details of the most recent conversation, checking them against my memory.
Definitely something going on here.
*****
Amy POV:
"Return whence ye came!" I incanted, and the summoned hellhound vanished before it could reach us.
"S-stay back!" Tucker Wells...
...couldn't rush.
Still, something had definitely gone wrong here, something that we didn't already know about. And I was going to find out what.

Xander POV:
"Forty points!" I exulted, as I popped my final skee ball into the hole and the machine totalled up my score.
"You still...
