Awesome story! Very interesting the way you had the two universes meet. I loved the way you portrayed Xander, and the fact that you had the characters actually grow up without losing that essential quality that makes them who they are. Well-written, entertaining, and all-round good job! Loved the part about the "Scourge of the Goa'uld"!

I don't like the way Xander says 'Give the Senator a cookie, he named his murderer.' He doesn't think of what he's doing as murder. It's punishment, vengeance, execution. If he said 'Give the Senator a cookie, he named his executioner/killer/etc.,' or something else without the negative connotations of murderer, I'd be fine, but this? Murder is Wrong. Xander thinks of what he is doing as Right.

Good work. I love to see a compete story and one which actually completes the story arc. You should be proud!
I especially liked the fact that Angel can save the SGC from the Gould but they all have to get bitten :) Jack can't avoid it forever!

This is by far one of my favorite fanfics I have read. I thought the way you portrayed the characters was excellent. I hope you decide to do a continuing story at some point.

Brilliant. Absolutely bloody brilliant. You manage to tie the SG and BTVS universes together in a good way to; my only question is why the Asgard were oblivious. Possibly because of their denial of the supernatural? The same issue that caused them trouble with millennia of cloning new bodies... Yeah, that'd do it.

I so enjoy a long story that maintains interest and is such a cracking good tale all the way through. I've read this probably about 5 times over the years, and been impressed every time. For those who worry that Sam Finn didn't feel enough agony...the loss of children, both in responsibility and in truth, is very likely to encourage her to walk in front of a bus full of F'yarl demons at some point. Again, just an excellent story. LurkerOOl

Absolutely superb.

This was well done. I don't knnow SG well but you seem to capture everyone. Xander was excellent. I cried when Xander broken done. So good.

Oh, god I loved it, I laughed right up til the end, and the holy terror that was Ashley will be dearly missed.

Oh dear, now they have a talking partidge in a demonic mobile pear tree to deal with? And don't laugh. Considering what happens in the lives of Scoobies, and especially the Pirate Scooby, that is ENTIRELY plausible.

I remembered reading this before, and I back to read it again. Although it toke my entire free day, it was a good thing I re-read, because it was finished now (apparently it was in progress last time) and I finally read the ending


You wrote the story amazingly Xander-centric, by keeping Xander very human and himself, having his personality reflect in those around him, and keeping his friends still caring and super powerful while staying in the background.

I also liked the way you finished it by bringing together all of the little hints dropped during the story (the SGC, the PTB, the birthday, Ashley etc) the to their own logical endings.

You handled the Powers-that-Be part nicely. usually I dislike PTB stories because most writers use it as simple setup and it does not fit in Buffyverse), but you handled it like (IMHO) the Buffy-characters would; namely a challenge to overcome and rally against.


About the other characters, I liked your Teal'c better then on the show because he got more dept.
O'Neill was funny, the other SG1 members relatively underused (although I see how they would be hard to fit in).

From BTVS, I liked how you treated Dawn and Faith as serious supporting characters and personalities to Xander.

Poor Riley, his live goes to hell every time he gets caught between the military and the the Scoobies. But very much in character.

I found Buffy too depressing, although probably fitting to the show. (luckily happy-er and better then Noxon's Buffy). But it is an interesting way to look at her character, and I really think you should write a fic where she became under Jasmine's spell during Angel S4. (who's heaven was just as Fake, as Buffy's friends were not at all as save and happy and boring as she though when she was in 'heaven').

And your Willow is scary, but again realistic; dangerous , but loved and controlled. I just find it hard to fit with the Willow I remember from the show (S1-5) - I really don't like what Joss did to her,- but I can't take that out on your fic.

Your own characters, the Slayer girls, were believable too.

If I have forgotten to comment on something, let me know.

I honestly have no idea how many times I've read this but I can say I have never got tired of it. Xander's characterization is great and I love the fact that he's quiet dark in this at the same time as still being the Xander we all know and love.

I'd love to see a sequel/ spin-off for this with either Xander and/or Dawn going to Atlantis. The Wraith wouldn't know what hit 'em.

Yodes

Love this just as much the second time around.

Great Job!

I truly enjoyed your apt potrayal of Xander's best traits. I would but this story in the top 20% of Xander stories.

After reading this story yet again, I've got to say how much I love it. I'd love to read about the adventures of the scoobies in space though... hint hint..
