I'm actually wandering over here from LJ and wow, I'm happy I did. I really love this idea! In fact, I might have to go search out Le Guin's work and read the stories that it is based off. (And I need to add books to my pile like I need another hole in my head!)

I loved Xander asking Giles to marry him. And the attempt at explaining to Buffy what they were going to do. I can absolutely see this working. And I would love to read more of it.
