Completed, R, post-Him.Spike/Xander. The only way to stop the next doomsday device is to find the right combination on the magic lock. The only way to find it is to send somebody one day back in time after every failed attempt. The only way to check all the combinations is to use somebody who doesn't age - because it takes about 80 years to do it... Wildly inventive premise, tight plotting, a lot of spicy details and absolutely natural and convincing characters' reactions in absolutely impossible situations. Have you ever wondered how Groundhog Day would look from Andie MacDowell's POV? Here's a chance to find out.
