This is VERY good, I like the handling of the minor Anita Blake characters in Buffyverse.
I have not seen a cross done this way before and these characters would make major ripples into the Buffy Universe but not as hugely overpowered an Anita or the other Majors.
Thanks for a great story!

I only know of Anita Blake in passing, and I'm not at all familiar with any of these characters, but this was very intriguing. If you're ever inspired to continue it, I'd read it. :-)

Been a fan of the Anita Blake series for some years now. And its interesting to see this use of otherwise good characters, that don't get as much play in crossovers as 'Anita, 'Jean Claude', 'Richard', or 'Asher'. But I think you did a good job.
Now, Dorcus didn't get more then one book to play in....and LKH did write the Merry Gentry series as well.Have you thought about using some of their powers for Buffy? Giving her hands of power, like Merry's hands of flesh and blood? Or any number of other fey's hands? Not to mention some could raise the dead, teleport between tweens, or even heal with a kiss?
Willow's character was in maybe two books, only big in one, and a small part in other though I think shes been mentioned more then that. Not lately, of course. So I can't really say anything about her abilities.
Xander as Damion. Nice pick. But if you write more, you might want to change things a little. Since Damion wasn't a master vampire, he drew his power and even heartbeat from upstream, his master Anita Blake. Most vampires masterless died, and the most powerful, as Damion was shown to be, still went mad without his master.
And since Xander isn't physicaly Damion, you could give him the memories and abilities of Damion but make him a master vampire. Which gives him room to become more powerful over time. That is, if your going to continue the story.
At any rate, I greatly enjoy'd it. Its always nice to see a crossover with this series.

Sparkling vampires exist in this world?! Argh! Good thing Xander doesn't 'die' when the sun's out. I have a feeling that Giles will become the reluctant blood donor eventually? o.o
Great story! I love the thought of Buffy able to do magic. Is that the beginnings of BuffyxWillow going on there? Thanks for the great read :)
