Description:

Paradox - One exhibiting inexplicable or contradictory aspects.

It's been 2 years since Buffy sacrificed herself to save Dawn and the
others. 2 years that now finds a barely 18 year old Dawn stripping for
money to save all she has left of Buffy and their mother -- Their
house. Giles in jail for killing Ben, Glory's human form. Oz is the
leader of the local werewolf pack, trying to avoid a full scale war
with the vampires that have already taken 1/3 of the town over with
the other 3rd belonging to the werewolves and the last bit of town
neutral to both sides. Xander and Anya never got married with Anya
living life as a demon once more and Xander trying to avoid becoming
his father. Willow, who lives with Dawn and Spike in the Summers
house, is still desperate as ever to find a way to bring back Buffy
and get Tara back into her life. Spike still tries to keep his promise
to Buffy to protect Dawn. Tara works for Anya at the Magic Box, trying
to do what she can for the fight and taking down all she sees in The
Chronicles.

But it wasn't supposed to be like this. None of this was supposed to
happen. Buffy was brought back. She defeated the First. And then she
had a conversation with the angel Gabriel on the top of a London
rooftop months later. The angel telling her the scales of good and
evil were tipped too far into the realm of good. But in order to have
one, you had to have the other to define it.

So Buffy sent back Faith so that Willow would never be able to bring
her back from the dead. But how did Buffy send Faith back if she was
never brought back herself? And why is the world so much worse off?
Truly a Paradox. But then . . .

How do you save heaven when you're in hell . . . You have to have
Faith. Join us as we retell the story of the Scooby Gang without Buffy
and Team Angel without Wolfram and Hart.
