Story Notes: Hey everyone, thanks for clicking on my story! I'll do a little explaining now. I love Buffy, and I love Doctor Who, so I thought why the heck not. There are some fan theories that the Doctor and Buffy are in the same universe anyway because the 10th Doctor and Rose made a small cameo in one of the Dark Horse comics. This fic is a short, quick read with a bit fluff, some action, and of course, wibbly-wobbly time traveling stuff. It takes place post S12 of the comics, but you don't have to know anything about the comics to follow along with this story. Now, if you've never seen Doctor Who you might be a little confused about that canon, but it won't keep you from understanding the story. I highly recommend you watch Doctor Who. It's an amazing show. My headcanon has this story following my Love and Thunder Fic, but it is so vague you'd miss it, and reading that story is not a prerequisite for this one. 
 
I want to thank my gracious beta reader, All4Spike for whipping this story into shape for me, brit picking, punctuation help--all that good stuff! 
 
Banner made by me! 
 
Update: There is a sequel to this story titled Early One Morning.
