I haven't read that particular Borges story, need to do so. Thank you for the rec. Also the summary regarding Dru feeding on Dawn and Spike being in each of her hells, was rather amusing and a rather good insight into how Drusilla views Spike and Buffy and Angel.

What fascinates me about the Cyberspace fic and fics of this sort is it plays with the role of God and the degree to which God can actually predetermine our fate. To what degree do we have control and free agency? The concept of free will and how that is possible with a God? As a writer, I sort of think it is, because often my characters take over, the story forms from them, and I think to an extent the same thing happened to Whedon - he planned on killing Spike off in S2. The initial plan had been for Angelus to stake Spike and take over, then they'd kill Angel off permanently at the end of the season.
But the characters in a way had different ideas and the story went in a different direction.
