This is perhaps one of the best (or even the best) crossover between BtVS and LotR! And it really needs a sequel.
BTW some things some critics tend to forget: Elves do not scar and they are immune to extreme temperatures.
According to the number of years Celebrian was missing (3x 144) and the year given in the novel in which she vanished (2509 T.A.), this story takes place in the same year as the events of "The Hobbit" (2841 T.A.).

This story really needs a sequel! A sequel that is NOT a 'Tenth Walker'- or 'Join the Dwarves'-story!

Nice, I like the idea, and I hope you'll continue this!

Cally

Tremendous story!!! Thanks!!

You're welcome. There may be more from time to time, but I make no promises.

Ah, so that's where they are in the timeline of Middle Earth. Thank you for the update!

You're welcome, thanks for the review!

Lovely. I like the notion of so many of them going. I do hope we will see some continuation of this?

Thanks for writing

I think it's safe to say there will be more from time to time. :)

Needs a sequel of course. Got to wonder how Anya's background will be viewed. And... of all of them, she's the one who'll adapt easiest to this world, she's from the 10th century after all. I foresee her starting a trade route with the dwarves and making lots of money.
Her brothers are going to notice Buffy's scars at some point. And wait 'til they get to sword & unarmed combat. Might not be happy to hear that she's had a few romantic relationships at her very young (to them) age...
Willow/Tara are quite good at magic, might learn even more. I can just picture Willow going to that nice Saruman for instruction (and to teach her own version). Will notice fireworks and mention bombs can be made. (That's where Saruman gets the idea?)

There will probably be more from time to time.
Actually, I think Willow would be very reticent about mentioning the far more destructive weapons of modern Earth- once you let that particular genie out of the bottle, there's no putting it back in.

Short but good chapter :)

I hope you will write more :)

Thanks, it's quite likely I will.

Over already? That's too bad. I liked this idea.

Thank you. But don't give up hope- there may be additions from time to time. I'm enjoying playing in this particular sandbox. (All the stories I post during Fic a Day are marked finished, whether I think they might be continued or not.)

Sorry, it's an interesting story and the writing is good, but the premise of most of the Scoobies happily agreeing to relocate to Middle-Earth is more than a bit mind-boggling. For instance, Joyce (or Celebrian, if you insist) telling her daughters and the rest a few simple facts about their new home would've surely caused a little hesitation, no?

"There's no chocolate. Or coffee.

Or bathrooms with running water.

No movies, television, or any kind of recorded entertainment. You want music, you do it yourself, or wait for a live performance. Literature is confined to poetry and historical recitations. No fiction.

If you need to go anywhere, you walk, or ride a horse. For as long as it takes -- down the block, or across a continent. During these trips, there'll be no motels, just camping out for weeks or even months at a time.

No air conditioning.

No heating, except for fires.

No new fashions.

In fact, once you experience something, that'll be it. Things won't change, ever. You can exist for as long as you want -- thousands of years, even -- but it'll always be the same people, the same places, the same life.

All right, shall we start packing?"

Me, I'd be waving goodbye and calling out, "Don't forget to write-- Oh, yeah. No chance of any postcards, since it's a one-way trip, forever. Well, so long, Scoobies, enjoy your own elvish version of the Middle Ages, with all the plagues and other typical nastiness of this period that'll be sure to crop up! Bon voyage!"

You really think Joyce/Celebrian would have hit all the non-selling points when she told them about it? She wanted to get her daughters to go willingly. She's thousands of years old and their mother- she knew better than to mention the stuff that would make them want to stay.

aw!!!!! sweet! :)

Thanks! It seemed like a good note to finish up Fic A Day on.

What a wonderful reunion. Thank you. I am humbled. If I had more room on my rec list, this would be on there.

Thank you!

I hope Buffy will surprise her mom and fall in love with another elf. If I have it right Buffy and Dawn will be much older than Anya is now.

'Two hot brothers' eh? Heh, this should be good.

I love Anya's blunt honesty, it livens things up so.

So very glad I decided to check out some other stories after your BtVS/HP crossover ficlets! I greatly enjoyed this, it was very different from every other Tolkien crossover I've ever read and great to see Joyce be the focal point of the story for a change. I love the idea of Celebrían managing to get through a portal instead of being mishandled by orcs on her way to visit Lothlórien.

If you ever decide to follow up with some Scoobies' adventures in Middle Earth, I'd love to read it!

Thank you! I will probably add to this from time to time as inspiration strikes- it's been fun to write.

This is great, I have loved this series from start to finish. Is it too much to ask that we get one more chapter that has Celebrian's reunion with Elrond? And maybe Aragorn's reaction to everything, assuming this is near the end of the Third Age? And maybe find out how Buffy and friends changed the War of the Ring? Okay, I'm being greedy, I'll stop. Lol, anyway, loved the chapter.

I don't think there will be any Aragorn, at least not as you're thinking of him- this is more around the time of The Hobbit than the War of the Ring.
