It will be quite an adjustment for Joyce since Buffy has done seven years of painful growing up in her head. Her little girl really has gone forever. I hope Buffy doesn't rely on her memories too much though, vampires in this reality are much harder to kill than they were in Sunnydale and the various shifters are more dangerous too. At least there will not be so many demons around :)

Vampires aren't THAT much more dangerous. Not for someone almost as fast/strong as a Lycan. Anita is a regular human, physical ability speaking, and she does just fine.

As Rapsody says, lycanthrope (greek: lycos - wolf, anthropos - man) means werewolf (saxon? were - man). The correct greek generic term for were-animals would be therianthrope. Unfortunately, the misuse of lycanthrope as a generic is consistent with canon. Even though Anita Blake has a degree in Preternatural Biology, she consistently calls all shifters lycanthropes. *Sigh* I try to pretend this is an AU where the ancient greek language was different, for the sake of my blood pressure.

As I said to Rapsody, I'm aware of the incorrectness. Like you I get annoyed with it but I can but deal with it. Of course... I'm even less likely to call them Therian's than lycans because it reminds me far too much of Mass Effect and the Thorian and that thing was just plain creepy.

While I'm finding the individual stories to be rather short, they are adding up to a very interesting tale.

I'm looking forward to more!

I really like you story hope you update soon the only thing is Lycan is short for lycanthropy which is like a werewolf and she is a were-lion. I find it a bit odd every time she refer to herself as on.

I'm aware that Lycan litterally means wolf. For that, you have only Laurell K. Hamilton to blame. In her books she describes all werecreatures as lycanthropes, despite the utter incorrectness of the idea.

I played with the idea of figuring out the right word for it, using latin, but didn't feel like it. Maybe i'll edit it one day and change all "Lycan" to another latin word meaning animal but idk.

This is a nice story. I just don't know why you want to do it in these little snippets.

Hmm, making a series out of this eh? Nice. Well, thanks for writing this, bye for now.
