Interesting, but dark. It has the potential to be much more.

Can't wait for the next part!!! I'm dying to find out what happens next.

How can Buffy enter Asgard. The only explanation could be that she has been in heaven so being blessed or she is a descendant from the gods. Meaning she has blood off the gods running in her veins/DNA.

Well you don't want romance so I would like to see some interaction between Buffy and Thor's parent good ones not bad ones. Thor/Buffy having a strong friendship . Oh and some more ability's for Buffy so she can kick the First ass once and for all. And Tony and Buffy would get along very well they are so the same. I would love to know what they think of Buffy after telling how she became the Slayer and lets say the story of her life. How Will Odin react.

Willow would get along with Banner and Tony they have a lot in common. Willow showing Fury that she is not a someone he can mess with but not in a bad way because they will need each other. I would love to see that Willow finds a way to talk to Buffy in her mind again so she knows that Buffy is okay and to keep each other up to date. With the First coming it's not a bad thing.

I hope Buffy will tell the Gods that the First is back and messing with Loki. I also secretly hope that Buffy and Willow will stay in this dimension because I think they deserve the "freedom" and some happiness which they could find here. I know they would leave their friends and family behind but they are not alone like in other stories. They have each other so it's easier to cope.

So the most I want is that they build Strong friendships which are very difficult to leave and made them stay in this dimension where they can choose to fight. Willow becoming stronger would be not bad at all.

I love your start and hoping there will be more soon.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! I too hope there will be more soon - it's in progress, at least.

Buffy definitely isn't descended from any gods or "gods" from either universe, but she's not exactly an average mortal, is she? I'm not even sure if it's expressly impossible for humans to enter the comics Asgard, or if it's just forbidden...In any case, we're dealing with a lot of gray area here - as is usual with Buffy!

Thanks for letting me know what you're interested in seeing. I don't think Buffy's going to spill all of her secrets just for a dramatic reaction from her hosts, but there will be plenty of time for both sides to discover more about each other. I'm sure Willow would love to be able to contact Buffy again, too, but it may be awhile before they manage to find each other again.

The thing about the First is that it can never *truly* be defeated. At least, that's my take on Buffy!verse philosophy. But that doesn't mean it can't be fought. The themes of balance, prophecy, and never-ending cycles (one dies, another is called, etc.) of BtVS actually pair really well with Norse mythology/Thor!verse when one considers the idea of Ragnarok Cycles, and the fallibility of Norse gods...

Anyways, thanks again for reading and enjoying!

Twil be amusing if you ever get the next one posted. Willow likely being there when Loki comes through? She's the single most powerful witch on the planet, quite possibly and probably eclipsing Steven Strange. Loki's a trickster, not a true sorcerer.

Awesome one shot, I loved it. I can't wait to see if you make a series out of this.

This is very well written indeed, and I'm looking forward to more. You've nailed it.

Oh i hope to read the next chapter soon!!!!
I want to see Buffy/Loki romance and Buffy/Tony brotherly/sisterly relationship. The only difference between him and her is he's a science genius- and a billionaire- and male. Very minor things lol!
Maybe Buffy can comfort Steve and tell him about how she went to heaven and when she came back, even though it wasn't 70 in the future- it wasn't right, it didn't feel right. Maybe if you go canon and have Loki in the cage made for the hulk, maybe you can have Buffy knock some sense into him, tell him he knows **** all what the highest level of suffering and pain is- but it doesn't mean he isn't hurt. She tries to make him fess up about 'the first evil' (i think it's the first evil you had in Buffy's vision). Oh and that coming to thought, Buffy can not only help the avengers with her physical power- but also with her power to make prophecies and glimpse the future. Willow and Banner getting along and talking about their experiences with taming their own monsters. Thor could be like Buffy's twin- not really, but the relationship of twins- not saying they have Fred and George's relationship- but because they're blond, usually think with their brawn and leaders over other brawny people (army of slayers, army of asguardians).

Oh and just so we don't make Buffy weak, maybe she can have the powers she had in twilight. You know, flying, punching through mountains like it was nothing.

Nice story so far, keep up the nice work. :)

This storyline was great fun! I bet Giles is sorry now that he wouldn't send a team to check out Willow's tip. Although I guess they didn't call it in first, so who knows if he'll ever figure out what happened.

My vote is for no romance in the sequel; Buffy and Willow are going home to their family eventually (I hope), so if there was any sparkage for either of them it'd probably only end in tears.

For future relationship interactions:
Other reviewers have mentioned wanting to see Buffy and Odin interact; I agree that'd be cool. Odin's just lost one of his sons, partially through bad parenting, so Buffy might be sympathetic,. But he's also, like, the most paternalistic patriarchal patriarch-dictator ever, and Buffy's been fighting The Man almost as hard as she's been fighting demons for most of her life. My guess is she'd be polite up to a point, but woe betide Odin if he overdrew on his pity-account.

I desperately want to see Willow tell Fury no. I could see Willow acknowledging the help that Fury gave her and agreeing that she owes him, maybe even to the point of working for him (because where else will she go? to live on Foster or Selvig's couch?), but Fury does have a tendency to run roughshod over people. I'm not convinced that the way he handled the Tesseract was really the best idea, and Willow already has some experience dealing with ineffable clean power sources which just might happen to have potentially world-ending consequences since she dealt with the Key. I actually think Fury would respect her more for standing up to him, and that could help develop more of a friendship of equals, especially if Fury thinks she's his local near-equivalent in another universe's WSC.

I would also love to see Bruce Banner, Tony Stark and Willow doing MAD SCIENCE together. I could see them totally conspiring to uncover the weapons research.

It also occurs to me that if Loki's being headgamed by the First in Buffy's shape, if he meets her again she could take (perhaps unconscious) advantage of Loki's conditioning to obey beings wearing her shape. That might be fun. It'd be like that scene with Spike, where he couldn't tell which Buffy was real.

Again, this story was awesome. I'm definitely looking forward to any sequel. :)

Goodness, thank you for answering my questions so thoroughly! I love it! Yes, poor Giles! He's going to have something of a puzzle on his hands to be sure. For Buffy's part, I think she may be missing him and even his rule-abiding, paperwork-loving ways before too long, especially if she butts heads with Odin. And honestly, how can she not, even a little?

No fear, I have no intentions of Willow becoming Fury's minion. She'll definitely owe SHIELD for helping her out, but she's not going to be a pushover. She recognizes that she can use their resources to her advantage if she stays on their good side, and since she's in the world-saving business pretty deep, you can bet she won't leave something like the Tesseract project alone, but I don't think she'll be easily manipulated, even by the master manipulator himself.

For all that it's such an obvious and unoriginal idea, I'm very pleased by the potential of the First and Loki interacting. Who's controlling who?

Thanks for all the ideas and commentary!

The idea of both series being different realities felt a little surplus to requirements- I don't think it would have been that hard to incorporate the idea of the Council and SHIELD having had prior contact with each other, with Thor's arrival just 'upping the stakes' as he creates a supernatural threat level that's harder to suppress or cover up-, but the central plot was still interesting, and the possibilities of Buffy and Willow still being in this world when the time comes for the Avengers to assemble are DEFINITELY interesting...

I think that choice really came down to a strange preference I have for alternate reality fics vs. stories that assume both canons always existed simultaneously...sometimes that works out *beautifully* but I'm not confident in my ability to convince an audience that the Buffyverse and Marvelverse have always been one and the same. Sounds like a major headache! Plus, I've got my reasons for wanting Buffy and Willow cut off from their home universe, and everyone they know...But I agree, it would be totally doable to integrate them into one reality in a different story. I'm glad you're interested in where things are heading, though, and I really appreciate you taking the time to review! ;)

I do wonder how did Buffy got up there. Is it because she already died? But it was a very good story beginning to end. I can't wait for your sequel.

Thanks for the review and the rating! It may remain a mystery exactly how Buffy got to Asgard, but there are a lot of explanations I could use. My personal favorite, but definitely the silliest, is that Scythe just wanted to buddy up to Mjolnir. Mystical weapons unite!

Can't wait for the rest!

People have been throwing out a lot of great ideas, which is totally motivating me to get a move on. Thanks!

hmmmm tantalizing ;D looking forward to more

I'm glad it caught your interest :)

This was really good, and I really look forward to the next part!

Thanks!

What I liked about the Avengers was the interactions and relationships. It caught my imagination. Hulk cold-cocking Thor after he had taken out all his obvious enemies. Black Widow running with absolute purpose and terror from the Hulk. Iron Man/Tony Stark sniping at EVERYONE. Captain America shaking off the angst stepping up! It would be fun to see the grownup Buffy and Willow deal with all of them. The Tesseract reminds me irresistibly of the Key! Did you mean the similarity to stand or was that my imagination? Whatever you decide on, if its anything like your previous story, I'll love it. HURRY.

Mm, totally agree about the interactions in the Avengers. Joss did a good job of juggling a lot of larger than life personalities! And the Hulk smackdowns were definitely some of the best laughs :) The Tesseract is kind of reminiscent of the Key, isn't it? Thanks for your lovely review, and I'll try my best!!
