A Path Not Taken

By; spoiledsquish

A/N: I thought up this fic as I was reading Gia’s “A Convenient Marriage” that I had saved to disk on my computer. I guess you could say she was my inspiration for this fic…. Love you, girl! Your writing is brilliant!

Distribution: FF.net, My site (http://baloversunited.tripod.com), Enchanting Place (sorry I haven’t updated my fics there in like, forever!), Sempiternal Beloved, BA Fluff, Fear of Dying, and anywhere else that I usually post to. If you want and I don’t normally post to you, just ask me first and tell me where my fic’s being hosted at. I’ll be more than happy to let you have it!

Spoilers: Really the whole BTVS series and everything just after S5 ep where Spike comes back, but Eve never ever surfaced. Mainly spoilers up to Buffy S6 and Angel S3, though there mentions of later seasons as the story progresses.

This does take place as Angel is starting to think he’s “in love” (rolls eyes) with Cordelia and right after Buffy kisses spike at the end of “OMWF”. It’s AU from there and everything else is fair play.

Pairings: B/A, as per usual. Plus, mentions of C/D, C/X, and W/O. Mix in undertones of A/C, and B/S, and what do you get? Angst, angst, and more angst!

Rating: PG-13 to R for language. My love scenes pretty much just suck, so I tend to leave the cool stuff up to my fave authors such as Tango, Indie, Gia, Meghan (who hasn’t finish Galway’s Womanizing Irish Brogue, damn you!), Ducks (I feel for you, girl!), Dani, Sarah, Margot Le Faye, the House of Blues team (Chad, Baby Blues, and Audball, you guys rock!), August528, Brityanca and any authors whom I have missed I am truly sorry.

Dedication: To Starrkitty, just ‘cuz I’ve always loved her site and her fic “Someone Else Is In The Wings”, which is nowhere to be found. I hope you update your fic and your site soon, girl! This fic is also dedicated to the only other person who has helped me to give me advice on my website and fics, Donnatella. D, this is your time to shine! Also, congrats on the awards! I would like to host them at the site, if that’s all right with you! Just reply back to me when you get the chance.

Summary: Years into the future, a daughter of two former warriors is called in by the PTB to go back in time and make things right. Her life, and the fate of the world, depends on it.

A/N 2: I know this plot has probably been worked many a time, but I had to put a spoiledsquish turn on it! Also, there was never any Dawn or Connor, Doyle never died, Angel never slept with Darla, Lindsey never left town, Joyce never died (at least, not until years later, when Buffy and Angel’s kid was like, 13.) and in Pylea, there was never any Groo. Instead, there was just an alternate reality Doyle.

Tagline: Years into the future, a potential warrior travels back in time to save her parents from making some of the biggest mistakes of their lives, including their decision move on with other people. Will fate let her intervene? Or will her parents be doomed to make the wrong mistakes over and over again, thus choosing a different life than they were destined to lead?
