Thanks for the appreciation. A bit of clarification, however.
First, this isn’t a remix, but a direct, happily admitted theft, as in I took someone else’s story and told it in Buffy terms, substituting characters and locale and backstory and motivations. (The story I cited in the acknowledgments — “As Time Goes By”, yahtzee63’s retelling of Casablanca in the Buffyverse — shows the example I was following; another analogue would be if I simply retold “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” as Giles raiding the lair of a family of giants.)
Second, since this is one of my Independent Stories, a sequel is highly unlikely. (I won’t say impossible, but I’ve never done one and have no plans in that direction.) On the other hand, if some other author chose to do his/her own sequel, citing this one as the inspiration, I wouldn’t be at all offended, I’d just want to be notified so I could read that one myself.
