The huge cast reunion and the over-emphasis on pairing people up this early in the plot is kind of a jarringly hot mess at times, but the characterization and dialogue doesn't suck, and there are some definitely fun moments, so I remain intrigued so far. Good luck on further updates and thanks for writing!

Not much to say except a big thank you for updating this so fast. And I hope you'll maintain the overall light tone you've got going, depite the war that's apparently coming. So thanks again.

I'm confused, you make Janet sound like she's newly resurrected AND established at the same time. Also how are Rona and Vi alive and kicking on Three Hills when according to your mythos only Faith, Buffy Dawn and Willow made it off Earth-that-was.
Comments from author:
Rona, Vi, Janet were brought forward from the moment of their deaths by the PTB/Morgan LeFay. Vi was on the Hammond while Rona was dropped on Three Hills a few months before Janet was. It's confusing because it's time travel...

Well, I got this far. Pairings... it's always the pairing that stop me reading. Sorry.
There's a few other problems - too many people brought back, and too many interconnections, to start. A good part of a story is people getting to know and learning about each other, but most of these people from separate AU's already know/trust each other too well. And god. The sue-ish power-up bends for far too many of them...
And now the Pairings.
Buffy/Eddie - hate it. Writers who hook OC's up with Main characters... I've never seen one that didn't make me think self insert in one way or another. Or too much designed/fitted to be a great pairing for whomever. It's kind of cheating when you don't have to attempt proper characterization for known character isn't it? Willow/River - I was OK with. Possible River/Willow/Oz, even if their just sharing Willow. Yuck. And leaving Tara out of it? Booo!!! Faith/Zander - nope, I'm a Zander/Anya guy, always have been. Any other hook up just never feels right.
Most of the other past or implied future pairings are more anoying then anything else.
See, I keep getting this vision in my head of you sitting spending as much time there going OK who do I hook this person up with, then working out the other aspects of the story Owww, they'll be SOOO cute together...! Like it was a REAL important part of the story. No, pairings are, really the least important part of a story. With one exception, if the major theme is ABOUT two people meeting and getting closer in the course of an adventure. Too many, or in this case, WAY to many cutesy parings just make me want to take a test for diabeties.
So for me, and likely just for me - maybe a few others - your interesting blending of worlds, how and where they interact or have come together, and a likely interesting mystery/conflict is simply crowded out by your desire to match EVERYONE up.
Good lusk with this.

I take it that it's Xander/Faith??? Not one of my favorite pairings but I guess I can live with it. Though that comment on favorite pairings isn't completely true I like the two as a bromance but not so much with romance but like I said I can live with it.
