I’m always wary of Inception xovers – they’re rarely as great as the real thing.
But this.
Hot effing daaaamn.
The Cheese Man?
The Primitive Slayer?
DRUSILLA???? Angela? THE JUDGE?
Anya? Dark Willow?
Fuuuuuuuuuck this is the coolest thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're absolutely right - it's so hard to find a good Inception fic. I was really worried about how this would turn out... It's not an easy verse to pop into. :P Glad it turned out alright! Thanks again for reading and reviewing!
I second having an entire series about the others. A suggestion: have Buffy's encounter with 'the best' be the prelude; have others of lesser caliber try, with varying results on the others. Gile's "Ripper" terrorizing one group, Xander's sending more running in terror; Dawn, I suggest them returning totally insane, as HER Power is far more....chuthulu than most; Willow's kills one or more of the insertion team, as does Faith's. I dare say after the Dream spy's encounters with the core council's minds, they swear off en masse from even THINKING about taking a job dealing with the Council as targets >:).

All excellent ideas! :) I'm only concentrating on finishing Cure for Boredom right now, but we'll see where the muse leads me after that. Maybe I'll come back and add another piece or two to this. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Okay, I just found this, and have to say that I'd love to see them exploring the other core Scoobies' minds. ;-)
Finding Eyghon in Ripper's mind, the Hyena and the Soldier in Xander's head, and fragment of either Dark Willow or Vamp-Willow in Willow's mind would be a lot of fun for them. NOT!! ;-)
Any chance of possibly seeing any of these?

*groans* Why'd you have to go and feed that plot bunny! I'd love to do a chapter for each of the Scoobies dreams! lol! Unfortunately, I just don't have the time right now. But it sounds like so much fun, maybe I'll be able to come back to it later. :) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

This was *fun*! Good thing Wolfram and Hart went after Buffy first, though -- the others might not have been so well defended mentally. I hope the rest of the Scoobies are now off limits, too.
And they were totally wrong about Buffy having no experience with dream protection; she had that whole combined dream with Giles, Willow and Xander from season 4. Very nice story!
Comments from author:
Hehe! Yep, she had scary Slayer dream protection. :P Not something they want to mess with. Glad you liked it! Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

Wow! And oh yes, Buffy's dreams are not going to be nice places. Eames and Arthur don't know what hit them. And I really liked that the second offer was from Giles, testing them. Very cool.

Ooooh. I really liked this crossover. Buffy's mind would be a scary, scary place to be.
Comments from author:
Yes, yes it would. :P And they were just scratching the surface. Can you imagine if they'd gotten into Spike and Angel territory? They would've been scared for life... I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Well done. I like it. The inception pieces were true to the original but twisted just enough to reflect the reality of Buffy's world. And some very scary things live in Buffy's world. They are lucky that some part of her subconscious was trying to save them.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :) It was my first time writing anything Inception, so I'm relieved to hear it turned out okay. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

At last, a crossover with inception! A short one, but very good. Sad they didn't find out a little something about what they saw. Our hired to help Dana, the insane slayer.
Comments from author:
Yikes, wandering around Dana's mind is probably even worse than being in Buffy's. *shudders* Glad you liked the story! thanks for reading and reviewing!

I could easily see any of the Scoobies having just as messed up mindscapes as Buffy.
Comments from author:
Too true. I bet all their minds are scary, scary places. Just minus cheese men and first slayers running around all willy-nilly. :P Thanks for reading and reviewing!
