This story is complete.
Chapter 1: Just For This Moment ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: Seeing as how I’m not Joss, and don’t have the time or the inclination to actually write a musical all on my own, I’ve taken songs from existing musicals, and at times changed the lyrics to fit the story. I’ll let you know at the beginning of each chapter where the musical numbers are from, and provide links if I can find them, so you can listen for yourself.
Lots of thanks to GoldenBuffy and Unbridled_Brunette for betaing. And thanks to Andrew Lloyd Webber for writing so many damn musicals.
The song in this chapter is "As Long As You're Mine" from Wicked.

Chapter 2: Too Far ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: Again, a big thank you to GoldenBuffy and Unbridled_Brunette for the beta.
Tara's song is Take That Look Off Your Face from Song and Dance/Tell Me on a Sunday. (I couldn't get it to play, but maybe y'all will have better luck...) Willow's song is Once Upon a Dream and I Must Go On, both from Jekyll and Hyde.

Chapter 3: In You Now ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: The song in this chapter is Moments in the Woods from "Into the Woods." This is my first attempt to change the lyrics to suit the fic, so if they're corny, I'm sorry.
Thank you to GoldenBuffy for the beta.

Author's Notes: If you can't figure out the song in this chapter, you need to go back and watch Once More with Feeling again! :)

Chapter 10: Unexpected Consequences ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: There isn't much music in this chapter. The snippet Sweet sings is from "Phantom of the Opera." I couldn't find a clip, but it's to the tune of "All I Ask of You," if you're curious.

Chapter 11: Music of the Night ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: Buffy's song is I Dreamed a Dream from "Les Miserables" and Spike and Sweet's song is Music of the Night from "Phantom of the Opera." It's a different version than the lyrics I used, but you get the idea.

Chapter 13: Falling Apart to Half Time ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: Oddly, no singing in this chapter. But the title is a line from the Fall Out Boy song "Dance Dance."

Chapter 14: Confessions of a Vampire ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: The song in this chapter is Confessions of a Vampire from "Dance of the Vampires," which is, by the way, one of the worst musicals ever, though I hear it's mildly better in German. This song is kind of cool, though. I had to rearrange a lot of the song, because I couldn't use some of the verses (for obvious reasons, if you listen to it).

Chapter 15: Across the Univers ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: Jeepers, lot of songs in this chapter. Tara's song is If I Could Only Dream This World Away (somewhat overacted, I think it should be quieter and more subdued), and Willow's song is All For Laura, both from "The Woman in White." Buffy's song is Unexpected Song, from "Tell Me On a Sunday." By the by, I must have listened to a dozen different versions of this song, trying to find the right one. Apparently, Sarah Brightman did a way too up-tempo version that everyone insists on copying. So, even though it's a woman's song, I ended up with good old Michael Crawford.

Chapter 16: Running Away ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: The song in this chapter is No More from "Into the Woods."

Chapter 17: Walk Through the Fire ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: Okay, the first song should be pretty obvious. :) The second one is Do You Love Me from "Fiddler on the Roof."
Added: 06-28-08
Chapter 18: All Manner of Hells ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: Willow's song is This is the Moment from "Jekyll and Hyde," and the princes' song is Agony from "Into the Woods." This clip is pretty much exactly how I picture them, since it's the cast I'm familiar with, so you should get a good idea of what they're doing in the scene.

Chapter 20: For Now ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: Whew... we've finally reached the end of this ride. Hope you've enjoyed it. It was quite an undertaking. I'm proud to say that the fic won two awards at Spark and Burn Awards - Reader's Choice for Best Episode Stealer, and Judge's Choice. Banners are posted at my LJ.
The songs in this chapter (there are a lot of them) are: Finale from "Pippin," Rent from "Rent" (the part I used starts around 3:40), For Now from "Avenue Q," and the last line of "Phantom of the Opera."
