Sorry for that; I realized after I posted it that it was missing all the context where I was hashing out ideas for extreme angst -- and then it all went sideways into horrifying farce. I wasn't meaning to make light of that as an idea.

I've occasionally leant towards the theory that the First won -- by nudging Buffy into activating all the Potentials, it got the balance far enough out of whack on the side of good that it was able to become fully embodied on their plane.

Why else would it show up and go, "You're ALONE! boogeda boogeda" to Buffy before the big battle?

(I think I had a bunny once about that embodiment killing Buffy and taking her place, but it never went anywhere.)

I liked the Barbverse!First, too; it really did mess with Willow effectively, and Buffy described it really well: "Beyond good, beyond evil, beyond boring when it gets to yapping?"
