Good start on an interesting variation of the Buffy series. It made sense also. I liked the way Daniel talked to her and made her see things in a different way.

1. Search And Rescue: Lost Warrior

interesting start. I'm looking forward to see where this goes.


2. Part One

lol nice way to make an impression on Daniel :)

3. Part Two

drunken Willow so not good :)

4. Part Three

good Daniel is there for Will

5. Part Four

ahh I wonder if Daniel will believe when or if Willow spills her story

6. Part Five

good Daniel believes in her ability to cope

7. Part Six

thank you for sharing this with us and I hope there will be a sequel where we see some action in the SGC and mazbe
something more building with Daniel.

Well its a good start, full of feeling, even if most of that is fear. False Evidence Appearing Real. AKA fuck everything and run.

You get a nine because it feels a bit incomplete, also the angst is heavy and while I'm not really into Waff alone, too much angst is a downer.

Now on to the next part.

This story of yours was truly brilliant!!! Your whole AU world of post-Mayor Graduation battle with everyone almost dying and Willow's serious denial of the complete horror of what happened (her basically not coping well at all), was incredibly very well done - interesting and original as well.

I really loved your Willow and her serious issues (your characterization was AMAZING!) and I LOVED the idea of her running to the Air Force from the demon world (and her friends) for some safety and stability - and then her eventual introduction into SGC. Her complete freak-out/breakdown after learning the truths behind SGC was also extremely well done. It felt very reasonable that she would react that way after all those years hiding. The poor girl though :(

I also, along with everything else, loved the Willow/Daniel interaction. The way he took care of her and eventually got her see reason in-regards to her fear of losing anyone else, even when her own her friends couldn't get her to see, was simply lovely. *sigh* Your Daniel is awesome!

Anyway, this story was captivating from beginning to end - I enjoyed every minute of it! Thanks so much for writing!!

How on Earth have I missed reading this?! Anyway, I am so very glad that I did start this series, because I loved this first story to bits! Thank you for sharing it!

glad to see that Willow is finally coming to terms with what happened in the past ...

Surprised Daniel figured it out. About her fears of her peeps getting blopped, not her demony past.

Are you afraid of losing friends fighting the Goa'uld?"
"Yes, Sir."
He nodded in understanding. "Do you think they'll live because you're not fighting beside them?"

good logic - smart guy, this daniel fella

Oh god! She couldn't go back out THERE. The world outside the Force. It terrified her more than the Goa'uld did.
Only slightly more.

that's an argument never made by anyone wanting to turn down a military commission before. Oh wait, maybe a kid who grew up in a ghetto riddled with gang wars... hey, that's pretty apt.

"…all right?" A panicked voice rose over the shower spray. "Willow! Answer me… Damn it!"

great breakdown scene

She had become what the Air Force wanted her to be. Willow had done EVERYTHING that was asked of her, and then some. Now it was all gone....What was the point of fighting? You lost, even when you won.

Poor Willow

Cleaning toilets held more attraction than this fight. Maybe they had vacancies in Antarctica?

Actually, an ol friend of mine who's visited Antarctica a few times told me there's lots of competition for the toilet cleaning positions at Antarctica. People will do anything to get that cold I mean cool.

"Where did you live?" Daniel asked when he got into the drivers seat.
That was easy.
"In hell."

It's just a teensy weensy itty bitty bit possible that Daniel might be getting worried about now.

Poor Willow... running away to be normal, and now this...

PS: I'd like to see you take on a Daniel Jackson/Hermione Granger fic one day. Preferably one where Hermione has realized that the Potters & Weasleys of the world are bringing her down and is striking out on her own, and somehow ends up at the SGC. You could even get around the citizenship thing by making her mum an American or having her enter a SG:Atlantis team.

ooh nice take on things.

Nice bit of work, to say the least; congratulations.

An interesting opportunity for exploring a Willow with SERIOUS issues, and an EXCELLENT analysis of what it would take to get her 'back in the game' after something this traumatic had taken place.

I don't know whether to find it funny or sad that it took a relative stranger to get through to Willow when her friends couldn't, but either way it's certainly interesting reading for all that.

Keep up the good work!

At first look sometime last year (possibly longer) I didn't think I would like this fic simply from the first chapter. I am very very glad that I decided to read it today. This is a wonderful fic and I am now off to read the next in this series.

I like these search and rescue stories. It's a shame it took me so long to find them.

cool
