I enjoyed the story. The Angel/Lindsey ship was a little groan-worthy, but I think you were playing it more as comic relief (in which case, it worked). If there was anything I didn't like about the story, it's that it happened so fast. There weren't any real obstacles or multi-act plot arcs to make things difficult for our heroes. I'd love to have seen this stretched to 20-25 chapters and gotten more in-depth with the characters, motivations, and plot.
I also really liked the ending explanation of the Slayer School. Never thought of using that one myself.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the story, despite it not being longer. I'm not a long-fic writer. I've only written longer than 7-8 chapters 2 or 3 times.

Review of chapter "Chapter Twelve" from Snowpuppies
Review:
I found you! Yay!
And this was lovely - I adore how you blend these two fandoms together. Numb3rs is one of my fave shows, even if I've not "officially" cracked the fanfic barrier as of yet, and you really get the "feel" of the show right.
I thought it was a wonderful, enjoyable read. :)
Comments from author:
I love Numb3rs too, obviously. I haven't written solely in that fandom, but I'm really enjoying crossing it with BtVS. Especially Charlie with Willow. I'm so glad that you enjoyed this!
Thanks for finding me.

Review of chapter "Chapter Twelve" from RevDorothyL
Review:
Great final line from Charlie! And you managed to allay just enough of Don's curiosity and suspicions to allow for the possibility of relatively smooth family relations with Willow in future. Nice!
Comments from author:
Thank you! I figured that Don needed to be told something that would appease him since Willow hoped to be in Charlie's life for a while, which would mean dealing with his brother too. Given time, he'll probably learn the truth, and then wish he hadn't.
Thank you for all of your support throughout this story!

Very good story. Nice idea, and your pairing of Willow and Charlie was well done. I am surprised at the quick ending. Charlie's brother Don will surely still have a lot of questions. You didn't answer the question why the girls were kidnapped or what happened to the guards inside the house or why Wolfram & Hart tried it at all? Will there be another story answering at least some of these questions?
It was fun to read. Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the overall story.
Why Wolfram & Hart kidnapped the girls wasn't important to the overall story. I knew that it was because they wanted to train the new slayers to work for them before the girls knew how to use their powers the way they were born to, but since their plan was never going to be able to be put into effect, I didn't feel the need to go into it.

Nice ending. I loved the way you tied it all up with a big old bow (figuratively), I only have one question--will there be more? It would be nice to see the interactions between Willow and Charlie's dad...
Comments from author:
Thank you. No plans at the moment to continue this storyline, but I have some other plot bunnies for crossovers with this pairing. Thanks for all your support throughout this fic.
