There are a LOT of sub-plots happening, I know. But fear not, Billbarians. But fear NOT! This jumping into the past will rectify a TON of them. My goal is to wrap up a LOT of the sub-plots happening and get back into a more basic groove. During my little time off, I wrote quite a bit of material, and have the course plotted to achieve this. So stick around… answers and resolution await, I promise you. And I won’t keep you waiting forever for them. While the new development of a flashback/past portal jump for Shiarra and Giles appears to be another sub-plot, it is actually a means to a resolution to many things, and a way to get things settled. To clean house, as it were. 
THANK YOU for your loyal readership and feedback. I LOVE it and appreciate YOU ALL!
Yours Barbarically,

Ahh, but I love a twisted plot. Don’t smooth things out too much!
Yeah, you have some ‘splannin’ to do! If you don’t me and my psychiatrist will chase you down!
It’s all good Dave! I’m just enjoying the ride
No, smooth out the plot as much as you possibly can! Then when it’s back on track, you can tie up the rails again as much as need requires.
hehe. So, how do you straighten spaghetti, when it’s been baked together?
