Wonderful. Just plain out wonderful. And I see you have sequels and they're all finished and I just have about had a fan-girl moment. Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your stories. :)
Excellent story. I'm not a big AB fan, but I enjoyed this crossover. You did a great job with Giles and Dawn especially; their characters and voices rang true. I enjoyed the way they managed to cope with being in the AB verse and become family. It's nice to discover a good series that already has several stories written; I'm looking forward to reading them all in the future.
It's been a long time since I've read this story but I enjoyed it as much now as I did the first time. Truly one of the best crossover 'verses created.
This was awesome! I almost didn't read it, because I'm not an Anita Blake fan. But I'm so glad I read it! You caught the voices just right. And Giles' reaction to Anita is perfect - she really is too rude... Thanks for the story.
This story has begun to have more than a slight shiny in my opinion. I do hope your continuing it. It's not often I read gilesvoice, and even less often that it's crossed into Anitaland. Well done.

Fantastic story. Wonderfully written and presented. The dialog, internal and otherwise, is great.
Your Giles' voice is so strong. I started watching BtVS because of ASH, and he remained a primary reason for continuing to watch to the point that I almost stopped watching when Giles moved back to England. This story focusing on Giles, utilizing all of his skills, and allowing him to have a actual father / daughter relationship with Dawn has been a joy to read from start to finish.
The bits from the AB verse - people etc - from Giles perspective were really good. You let them tantalize but not take over - very important in an introductory story. The sequels will be fun to read.

The journal entries at the beginning of each chapter are wonderful. Very believable Ripper / Watcher Giles mixed voice. They do a wonderful job of explaining how / why the characters arrived at the beginning of this story, and the influence of the first few years in this world on their personalities and behaviors.

The journal entry does an excellent job of introducing the main players and explaining the basic premise. The Giles / Blake interaction is very well done for both characters. Thanks for mentioning the stammer but not typing it - gets old to read, but very nice to acknowledge its existence.

I loved this line! "The truth was that my inner Ethan was jumping up and down a bit, chanting in a sing-song, Ripper made you blink, Ripper made you blink!"
