You have definitely got my interest! I like the Cordy interludes. They tie it all together. Keep up the good work!

Can you say getting a case of whiplash from doing double takes. Good story as I can't wait for what insanity well happen next.

yeah, my neck hurt when I was writing it too.

I love how you turned this into a PTB played around, changed things up and show/talk about the changes story. It's by far the best crossed-over/mixed up universe I have found, the fact that the PTBs don't always know what's happening or how something happened is awesome. I would love to see more of this crazy world that Cordelia helped design.

thanks but I stalled a bit from doing that side too much. I got a lot of flack for the direction I was taking on the willow front (all good intentions aside) and making PTB Cordy out to be vindicative when she's not.

eh, you're one of the few who likes the meta parts. I like them too but I think they distract from the story I was trying to write (which was the xander parts)

good chapter, nice crossoveresque, keep up the good work, byes

thanks,

This is very interesting... I like it and would love to see it continued when your muse permits.

yes, I do wonder when my muse will permit.

HMM so Xander is the grandson of a slayer ok that explains much in your verse :)

what's to explain? the bit that needs teh explaining I think would be the Jessica part - and her being the daughter of a slayer and so genetically inherited strength, *and the watchers removed that strength the exact why they would from a rogue slayer* and that then, you know, going too far past 'remove slayer strengt'h into 'strength' altogether would explain the lack of Mrs Harris. Part of the Harris side of things is yet unwritten, but I've got some stuff lined up there. or I had until the 'meta' parts started to overtake the story and then my muse disappeared.

Hi,

I like the combination of the Stargate verse and the Buffy verse, I also like the alteration, that the Council is actually calling every single slayer manually, that is an interesting twist of the original that I think is within what one may call writer's freedom.
What I don't like so much is the talk on the higher realm... I'd like to see more of Xander!!

So CU next chapter!

Bye Sanchan

yeah the "Meta" sections got away from me a fair bit.

that's a wonderful explanation! I'd never have thought of that.

which bit?

Fascinating. And have i mentioned lately that i ahte the pbserver bits? Cause i really realy do. But the rest pf the stpry is wicked

I thought I'd put this on tracking but somehow missed it. Upside? I got to read four new chapters at once so go me!

I have to agree with the earlier reviewer regarding the PTB 'explanations': Interesting and funny at first but quickly growing stale. I'd rather see more of what's going on in the merged 'verse than people standing around talking. There's a lot of that going on in the merged 'verse too but I'm hopeful you've gotten most of that out of the way now that SG-1 and the Harris's have met up.

I do like how you've merged the two universes together though. Curious to see where you take this, and how far you intend to take it. You don't intend to rewrite each episode do you? That would get old for the reader and author fairly quickly IMO.

yeah I'm hoping to do an action chapter after work.

And no, not an episode-by-episode re-write, although... 'Angel' is the next episode for them to tangle with.

With... Sg-1 in town.

And some of Angel's backstory involves the DRI in canon, but the DRI doesn't exist in this fusion (replaced by STRF)... so... I dont even know how I'm going to take it, aside from Buffy getting massive doses of 'dont fall for a vampire, it's a corpse animated by a demon.'

You know, the stuff she wasn't told at all in canon. And with the trouble heading Willow's way, she might be a tad distracted to give Buffy the thumbs up.

An interesting and well thought-out take on the Carter family history.

I really had to be careful to make sure I didn't have Jacob too old (1930 is actually a reasonable year for him to be born, as Generals are usually promoted to first-star general around their 30-year-service mark, so 1930-1948 teenage years, but join as enlisted, a few years earn a commission with the STRF, and then a general from 88 for this timeline, after 41 years in service, 34 as an officer. and he's 58 at that point.

I also had to be careful to make sure Xander, as a non-native here, didn't go there too early and so not remember 'before sunnydale', but not too late for making friends with Willow and co before kids get trapped in their cliques.

I thought the SGC crew thought vampires were supposed to be rare, still? Or did some of their info include how Sunnydale is a big ole bloodsucker tourist attraction, like Six Headstones over the Hellmouth? (feel free to use that quip if you like, they can be tricky I know.) Nice explanation for Xan's resilience, though - not getting splattered by Olaf (barely getting injured in fact, by a weapon that could smack Glory around) was only the most extreme example of that.

yeah I'm trying to explain it in a way that could make sense in a non-crossover, but not necessarily overpowering him. (like the strength: He got overpowered with the hyena 'unlocking' the strength, but it's locked up, so to speak.)

They do think they're rare. But they now know something in Sunnydale is the reason they're not. Sam also knows of Hellmouths and that Cleveland is an active one, but not that sunnydale is. (well, she does now since the off-screen talk where basically Xander covers the details of the first five episodes. Yeah, Welcome to the Hellmouth, The Harvest, Witch, the mantis teacher ep, and The Pack.)

What information they have doesn't explain why it's vamp central. Including that it's an active hellmouth. (Yes, the Mayor is involved.)

This story gets more interesting and complex with each chapter. I really am enjoying this.

I am curious what either a sarcophagus or Goa'uld healing device would do for Jessica, and possibly Xander, given he has the drug in his system.

I like that Xander isn't allowed to hide his intelligence, and that he is really smart. It's a nice change. It will be interesting to see what he does with it. It will also be interesting to see what he does with the slayer package, and how much of it he has.

I am still looking forward to seeing how Willow is dealt with. After all, she is already busted for treason, and despite the fact she didn't actually sell the U.S. out, what she did would probably count as treason anyway. And given what the government believes, it could become messy. Maybe why the idea of college doesn't excite her is whatever sentence she gets.

This chapter brings up some interesting points regarding the Slayer and the Watcher's Council and I am really looking forward to seeing how they play out, and finding out what Giles actually knows or even suspects. It seems obvious that the right hand of the Watcher's Council is hiding what it does from the left hand, and if Giles doesn't know, I can't imagine him not telling his fellows what is really happening. Possible civil war in the Council?

Regardless, awesome chapter, some very unique ideas and each chapter is better than the last. Can't wait to read more!!!

Giles Doesnt know, and xander will be forced to do makeup work as his intelligence isn't an actual indicator of his knowledge. Basically he didn't pay more than the token attention to stay in willows class. You caught it dead on both that she'd be around for graduation but would be punished. Season 4 would be very different as the STRF would feature sufficiently that sunnydale would end up like Cleveland. Aka active hell mouth but 'normal' activity levels for the fusion verse. Buddy can do college without weekly vamp attacks. Sarcophagus will not be the solution. As xand would discover.

good job on this chapter man. are you planing on somehow flushing the drug out of xander's system? and maybe the asguard can do something about how weak his mother is getting.

Well, it's season 1 for SG. It'll take some time and even the asgard wouldn't want Xander to have a massive increase in strength without preparation. It would be a gradual increase, and he wouldn't get the slayer strength for a while. Mostly his strength increase will be through actual human effort. :P

as for his mom... she's been that way since she was 8... and it slowed down when she was pregnant with Xander, and didn't speed back up to pre-pregnancy decline. so... 9 years on full dose, 16 years on a half dose... and she's at the 'bruising sides' point, and while she didn't break bones slapping Daniel, her hand was hurt bad. She's got a decade at least, but also, unlike xander, a body that is too frail to take even a slow-form of cure. (the brittle bones thing.)
