Ripper and Ethan together in Sunnydale

[ladyhatshepsut.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to re-find a series that pretty much follows show canon but for the fact the Ripper and Ethan didn't split up when Giles went back home to start Watcher training. They've been together all this time; twenty years or so. Ethan meets Joyce at her gallery and they become friends. This friendship doesn't connect with his lover's calling until he visits Joyce in the hospital after she's bitten by Darla. In the last part of the series, Giles suddenly become nasty and violent towards Ethan, knocking him out and tying him up when he comes to the library, reacting as we would see him on the show. Turns out that this Ethan has somehow crossed over into Joss-canon verse, while THAT Ethan is still there. THIS Ethan's actual body is still in his lover's verse, though, comatose in the hospital.
