I've always really enjoyed this fic, and so it's now going to be one of the very few oneshot's I've reced. I think that this'll be number two, and it'll be the shortest. Well, thanks for writing this, bye for now.

Loved the homework! I'm kinda disappointed Illyria didn't jump in after Zeeman and rip the snake apart from the inside though :( And I bet she will have trouble topping this as a field trip! Maybe she could get her class to follow Anita around, those that survive would find it interesting.

O.O I'm kind of glad schoolwork kept me from reading your WONDERFULLY written and well thought out stories; that way I get to read multiple new/updated stories at once! -And I will review them all soon. :)
You write well in the first-person! It's really hard to make a first-person narrative have enough detail to make a story interesting. But it worked here! Whichever way you choose to write, please continue this marvelous story.
I love your Illyria! She's just so amazingly powerful and sure of herself, without coming off as arrogant. I would love to have her as a teacher. :) And Jean-Claude doesn't stand a chance. Haha, I can see him trying and failing to woo her to his side.
I do have a question though. Is this set in the same universe as Matchmaker Blues and/or Grey Eyed Athena? Although the later seems more likely, it would be cracktastic to have this story in the same verse as Matchmaker Blues. :D
Cas/Illyria, Casyria? for the win!
A possibly plausible reason for Castiel's presence would be...to meet his new step-son, Edward? Lol. Wouldn't it be fun to write??? ;)
Also, Castiel should totally smite the undead JC just for harboring lustful thoughts about Illyria.
Thank you for writing such superb stories.

I'm happy you're happy. Oh dear... I imagine Cas wouldn't be happy to find out some vampire is sniffing around his girl... I just might have to write a crossover-crossover to see that scene play out. And how would Anita react to a real-live angel showing up in a rumpled suit and coat? Hope you got plenty of free time now that the school is on break... or getting close to it.

It is unbelievably hard to find a terrific Illyria story and here one is! I can't tell you how much I loved it and wish that it would be continued. It would be fun to see how you managed to put her into the Anita-verse and how she fits in after being discovered. And of course what the Mother's reaction would be to her and vise versa!!! Please please continue it :)

I love it and read it thrice. The part with the essay and the end with the applying for permission made me fall off the chair with laughter. Illyria meshes seamlessly in this storyline. Please continue!
Fabulous. Like the first chapter of the GiantDawn arc, this one holds huge promise. The first-person POV is superbly done, but if you don't like writing that way, you could switch off from it for the next chapters. Just please please please add more chapters to this one. Pretty please?

Thanks! As much as I love Illyria and her never-say-mercy attitude, trying to write three different stories at once is too much. You may, possibly, see one or two one-shots from this verse but I want to get the arch wrapped up for THC before I start any new major projects.

This story is just one of those little gems that are so unexpected. I truly hope you continue in the fic-verse. There are so few worth while God-King stories and you seem to have a knack for them. Can't wait to see what else you write.

I love Illyria. I really, really do. The problem is there ARE so few works with her, and those that exist either don't get updated or she's just mentioned in a sidebar as being part of the team. Though, I recently started going through the 'Compelled' series on here and Hotpoint did a great job on her there.
That was *hilarious*! I love Professor Burkle, and her (and their) blase response to monster attacks. Also? 'Ancient Magic and War Theory' with Burkle-Illyria has got to be the scariest yet most awesome after school club I can think of. I enjoyed this fic immensely.
Comments from author:
Well, in my head, I saw her teaching a class and running into some angry witchy type student getting picked on. What follows is a discussion on how to properly summon a fireball to roast your tormentors, and the rest, as they say, is an Ancient Magic and War Theory Club. Cheers!
