I truly love this story! I can't wait for Buffy to meet Tony.

I really, REALLY, love this!! Jarvis has always been one of my favorite characters.

I just found this story. Its absolutely awesome. This is one of the few Buffy/Ironman crossovers that I actually liked. I've read it through three times now and it's still good. I would love to read more. I can't wait to see how she interacts with more people in this new life she has been dropped into as she comes out of her grief. And Tony's reaction to finding out Joyce is dead, Buffy is now in his custody, on top of everything else he has gone through, yep, can't wait to read that one.

OK, interesting point in this chapter; yes Fury's the Uberspook, but really remote cameras in Tony's Lab. That's a little hard to believe.

Interesting where the story's going, but I'm glad that you've cut down on the angsty introspection from the beginning. I found that a bit hard to get through.

OK, if the motorcycle puts that kind of smile on her face, I can just imagine what The Suit would do. Bonding with Dad over iron man tech ~ could be good.

I was holding off on this until it was finished, but... Great job with the dialogue and character interactions. Your mix of dialogue, introspection, and narrative is just right (or I wouldn't have made it past the second chapter). This is the longest non-action story I've read since school, which is saying a lot. I'm hoping to see the Stark family reunion some day. You'll get a big shiny rec for it (see, a little praise now, and hint of a bigger reward when the job is done). I've obviously got to go and read some of your fics that I skipped because I didn't watch the crossover shows.

No intention of irritating- just supporting or encouraging- or whatever term you prefer.
I really can't wait for the next chapter- especially since i'm back in the iron man mood ever since watching im3 even though that was a month ago.
Yeah but i really can't wait for the interactions between tony and buffy- which we're getting really close to- which is why you can't leave us high and dry now!
Also, i know it's important to get background story stuff done before we get to the big plot- but let's be honest- did it take Harry Potter 13 chapters to get to hogwarts. Did it take Bella 13 chapters to find out edwards secret (i swear i only read it once because my older sister insisted :P). So don't worry about getting all the details in- some people actually hate it when a story takes note of every single tiny thing, and it's not like you can't keep developing the plot when tony's back home.
I don't say this to be mean, i'm just trying help you improve. Not saying I'm right and your wrong- or i'm a genius on the area of writing- i'm babbling, i'll stop now.
Can't wait for the next chapter- i'm going to re-read this story again right now though :D

Love this! Couldn't stop reading it till the end. Can't wait for a new chapter.

Just found this and am really liking this one. I can't believe I didn't find this before now. The worst part of this is that I reached the end of what you have written so far.

This is a really great story. I like how you take your time building up the relationships, it definitely makes your story more believable. Also, I know how hard it is to write introspective scenes, especially if someone is in shock. I think you did really well with Buffy, I can imagine those thoughts going through her head. But I will also admit that I prefer the later chapters that contain more dialogue and more activity. =)

And finally some (hopefully) constructive criticism:

The first few chapters were a bit hard to read because of some punctuation and grammar problems. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean the intentionally short "sentences" that make up Buffy's shocked thoughts, they are great. But there were some sentences with additional or wrong words or slightly complicated word order such as:
"Never have known if the Tony hadn't decided..." (Chapter 1)
"A secret that she'd learned after spending the last two hours talking with Mr. Williams discussing the details of, that had been Joyce's wish and Tony, who always did exactly what he wanted, had agreed to." (Chapter 1)
"... since Tony and his military escort and been attacked." (Chapter 1)

Also, you always start sentences after dialogue with small letters, for example:
[...] “I'm going.” the tone was, it was resolute. [...] (Chapter 1)
I'm not a native English speaker but I'm pretty sure that the correct way would be to start the new sentence with a capital letter:
[...] "I'm going." The tone was, it was resolute. [...]

Call me pedantic but it does disrupt the flow of the story when you stumble across these things. I guess these mistakes are mean because a spell-check will not pick up on them. Maybe a beta-reader could help with that? And if you don't agree with me, feel free to ignore my rambling. =)

In any case, I'm very curious how Buffy will try to hide her powers from her new instructors. And I absolutely love the scenes with Tony, it would be great to see more of him in the next chapters, even if it's only snippets.

Thanks a lot for this wonderful story,

I read the whole story again and I read something I didn't realize the first time I read it. Tony knows everything that happens in Buffy's life so also the part where she is committed to a nuthouse because she believed in vampires and becoming the one who protected the innocence. Pepper don't know about it because Jarvis never showed her those files that's what I understand after reading it again.

Sooo knowing Tony, when he sees Buffy, her attitude, behavior, the look in her eyes and how easy she will be doing things without knowing she is doing it. He will notice there is something about his daughter that makes her different to other people. Even when he doesn't already know she is the Slayer he will find out by only watching Buffy. When he knows I think it will be easier for Buffy to cope with some things that happen to her or what she did. Why because she can finally talk about it and that will finish the last part of her healing process. Or when she won't talk Tony will talk about it in a sneaky way so she won't even notice that he is doing it.

Can't wait for the next update reading this story again makes it even a better story than I already think it was.
Oh I almost forgot. Buffy don't think she is a genius but to me she not far from it. If you can skip one year and finish high school without even being at school, to me you are genius. She isn't even learning she learns it without being aware of it. Can't wait when she discovers how many old and maybe demon languages she knows/read/understands without realizing it. She will get a "stroke". "LOL"

Don't wait to long. I'm curious.

xox

This is a spectacular story. Great scope and execution. And we haven't even gotten to Tony yet. Im looking forward to more.

I absolutely love that you threw in a quote from Sherlock Holmes Game of Shadows into this chapter. So.Much.Love. I watched that movie and re-fell in love with it this weekend. Sending lots of love your way! And cookies, because cookies are well documented to solve anything and everything!!! I'm so, so glad you're alive and well enough to taunt us with an end being in sight! It's weird that I can't wait for the end, but it is only because I know that the end of is arc heralds the arrival of a new one and I've told you already but you have created the best 'verse/crossover of these two ever. Ever ever!

One tiny tiny thing: I think spellcheck gotcha on spelling Wolfram and Hart in the fabulous Fury/Coulson scene.

So. I tried so hard to not read this chapter, to wait so I would have more than one to read and re-read and love, but I just couldn't do it. This story is too good to have a new chapter and not read it. I resisted for 11 days and then I realized I absolutely needed to read it and tell you again and again how much I love it and how I can't wait to read more every single chapter. Also, every single Iron Man 3 preview that I watch makes me squee and clutch the person nearest to me and say "WE ARE GOING TO SEE THAT" several times. And then re-watch the preview a couple more times to discover new details. Dying. May 3 is too long.

Ya know, as I re-watch the movie and the part where Tony's developing the suit, an image popped into my head. That would be Buffy hopping onto Tony's back as he takes off for one of his test flights (just for the heck of it) and it becoming her first "piggy back" ride with her pops. Also, imagined her getting Jarvis to build her some body armor and pretending it had built in extras to explain her own strength and abilities. *sigh* Just goes to show you how much your story has made an impact. :)
