Awesome YAHF. Enjoyed it muchly. And loved that Willow chose a different costume. Thank you!

The only one of Georgette Heyer's novels I have read is "The Conqueror", a non-romance historical piece set before during and after the Norman Conquest of Britain. I loved it to pieces, so I guess I'm going to have to check out some of her other novels, despite the fact that I'm not much for romances.

Thanks for this, it was great to see Willow kicking ass and not bothering with names. :)

I giggled hysterically at this because I truly didn't expect to get the obscure crossover but it turns out thtat I am currently reading that Georgette Heyer novel right now :-) I like the idea of Willow as Leonie who can and will kick butt if you displease her. Excellent work!

That is so cool! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

I enjoyed it - it was a different take to what happened that night. Although I haven't read These Old Shades or Devil's Cub in many many years, you got quite a few of Leonie's key things in there, although I expected the pantalons thing to come up earlier when talking about dresses.

I also think she could have called the Duke, Monsigneur at least once, called someone a pig-dog, and told Buffy she found her to be a dead bore.

But very happy you brought the fencing in and mentioned Rupert - one of my all time favourite Heyer characters.

Excellent! An inspired crossover--These Old Shades is my favorite Heyer, and I could so see Leonie reacting like this. I wonder if Ethan would qualify as a pig-person?

And you know, until I read this, I never realized that DeadBoy and David Boreanaz have the same initials. :-)

Very Nice! Leonie would have been a very good slayer. And her character makes a good addition to Willow's.
There should be more Heyer crossovers.

i really love all of these one shots you keep putting up. thank you!

Pretty good. Fun read.

Why does Leonie sound familiar?

Read Georgette Heyer's novel? (Or the horrible version by (from memory) Cartland?)

Okay, I have NO idea who this Avon lady is... But I LOVE THE IDEA OF WILLOW CURSING IN FRENCH AND BEING A SWORDMAN/WOMAN/PERSON!

Fun.

Leonie was the heroine of the novel 'These Old Shades'. I tried to keep her as true to character as possible, while keeping it short. The original character learned the sword from the Duke, an acknowledged master, and was known for her temper and language. Though I didn't get to use the infamous 'pig-person' insult.

One of my favorite Heyer books (tho the 2 follow-ups are good too) combined with Buffy. FUN!!!

Thanks.

This is perfect! No one can help but love Leonie, or be a Heyer fan.

OH HELL YEAH!! loved it!!

Woo-hoo, a Heyer fan. I've loved "These Old Shades" since I first read it about 35 years ago as a teenager. Well crossed. I hope your muse and schedule will allow you to write and post more chapters on more stories sometime soon. Keep up the good work. Zafaran {mailto:} zafaran {at} fastmail {dot} fm

I think my mother would be pleased if I blamed her for my Heyer appreciation :D Well written prose is a treasure. As for my other stories - I have several projects on the go, including attempting the prelude for the Slayer vs Stargate storyline. er... And a Sentinel crossover within the storyline. sigh...

YES! Georgette Heyer crossover!! And Leonie, too! You are the Grand Poobah of the Internet today.

Grand Poobah, huh? Kewl!

loved it! Loved It! LOVED IT!!!

very well written and I always love a kick-ass Willow!

Thanks :D
