So now we see the opposition - and the opposition's evil boss, and the opposition's boss's enemies who may or may not be friends. i think this may take some time to unravel! I look forward to the challange :)

Interesting. Good to see you've added another chapter to this work; you successfully integrate the two so well that it almost feels like a non-cross.
I have to say, the idea of Andy loving Miranda rather than simply respecting the woman who set her on the path to success was a twist quite out of left field!
Hope to see more of this soon.

"Yes?" she asked, looking at her pale assistant for enlightenment, with an inflection that could send rats fleeing from a perfectly seaworthy craft. ~ Terrific phrase. Great chapter. Thank you for updating.

Review of chapter "In the Devil's Lair" from Meneldur
Review:
Interesting concept. Also, intriguing things in this chapter. The idea that Andy loves Miranda isn't impossible - I've seen it done before - though the question is whether it's platonic love or aplatonic. In any way, it can't fail to be very good, I hope. Also seeing Miranda interact with Slayers is going to be good, if I can base anything on this chapter. I hope we see more soon.

Thanks :-).
The idea of Andy/Miranda (aka Mirandy) isn't even remotely original but I thought I'd take a stab at it in the context of a multi-fandom crossover (hopefully not one that is TOO overly ambitious).
There are literally hundreds of them in all the usual places "out there" though very few are crossovers.
omg omg. You have to reveal who it is! I've got a hunch, but I'm dying to find out. Love the setup so far, and the distinction between those who got fired and Andy who quit made me laugh in a morbid kind of way. Great stuff!
hm....body switch? Astral projection? Puzzling when comparing chapter 1 to chapter 2. But very interesting. Amazing the cops would decide it 'wasn't related' but I can kind of see why. I was going to say her slayer metabolism would bring her out of the coma quickly but hey, Faith was in one for months.....

Nothing as exciting as a body switch. Not quite astral projection -- almost, but not quite, like Dorothy in Oz (the movie).
The 'pass the buck' thing going on with the cops? Layers within layers. It's possible it'll make sense... eventually :-).
Well... why Faith was in a coma for so long was never explained to my satisfaction. By the end of the story, Andy should be out of hers. Maybe :-)

Slow reveal on the main character likens this to trying to spot a full view of someone through a thicket of bamboo. Andy as a Slayer is an interesting choice. Does that have something to do with why she seems less Slayer than your run of the mill confident ready to deal out violence and retribution type? More to come soon I hope.
I always did like to think that Mr. Gilmore was on the Council and that whole 'insurance' thing was a cover. Emily G. works as well or better along those lines. Funny. Hm... poor slayer, sounds like she's in the far past.... or another dimension. If even slayer healing is having trouble, she really went through an ordeal....

Thanks for the comments.
The story is a bit more complex than that but your explanation works as well as any for now.

Interesting and confusing beginning. But I liked it, even the confusing parts. Lol! I hope you write more and ease my confusion. And I'd like to read more of your story with Rory and Buffy. Hint, hint. Lol!
Comments from author:
Thanks :-).
Actually, the beginning is supposed to be slightly confusing. The next part, hopefully posted next weekend, should clear things up.
(I am still working on the Rory story... it just seems to be stuck in that state of mind known as 'Dinner with Emily Gilmore' right now. As soon as I can get past that it'll move forward.).
