BtVS Fic (Remastered): Geometry of Chance (1/6)

Back in 2005, I wrote a story for the watchersdiaries' Art-A-Thon Reversed Challenge. And while it was completely finished and plotted in my head (not to mention mostly written out by hand in an old notebook), Life happened and I never got around to posting the ending.

It always bothered me to leave it unfinished (I have one or two other fics that also need to be concluded), so I promised myself I'd get back to it.

I know some of you may have read this before, but it has been fine-tuned a bit. (A few years' distance does seem to give a fresh perspective!) And this time the ending will be included!

For those of you still hanging out in the Buffy fandom, if you feel like reading, I hope you enjoy!
