Amazing story. You used all the material available to you and with very good writing you have delivered a wonderful crossover that frankly couldn't think possible.
Besides previous comments I especially adored the scene with the two sisters at the end, the fight with the Doci and the speech by the Asgard about intelligences and of course the whole mythos about the inflation and the alternates universes and all. It all ties up beautifully. Straight to my favorites this one.

This story was just as excellent as the last time I read it.

Amazingly good. Wonderfully topical. Grammatically and artistically beautiful. I always appreciate a writer who knows how to use big words, but can still hold a kick-ass plot line. Characterizations were spot on, too.

Hell ... it was just plain nifty.

Thanks for sharing:)

Well done! It is great to see a story with such a complex and intricate plot carried through to completion so well - and a sequel! I think you also handled difficult issues very well and your combat scenes were extraordinary. Definitely one of my favourite stories on the site. 10 out of 10!

Fantastic story. I read so much fanfictions (80,000+ words) that I only remembered I read this one after like 2 chapters.

Very wordy but worth it!

I can't remember if I read the sequel... I'm certainly doing it after this review!

Still brilliant :)

I like the general idea of this crossover and it could have been an interesting story.

But I don't think that the portrayal of Hammond or O'Neill is very good. I know the SG-1 characters very well, even better than the Buffy characters.

Although both Hammond and O'Neill had to make hard decisions in their career (just as Buffy had to make) neither of them would seriously behave in such manner as you describe them here, especially regarding torture. I remember seeing something break inside O'Neill when he learned in one episode that a reporter had an 'accident' because to reveal SGC's secret (must have been season 2).

Congrats. This is, without a doubt, the best Buffy-SG1 crossover I've ever read simply by being at least as good as the other contenders... but without putting Buffy into an SG1 setting. (I'm sure you know how hard it is to do a good job of merging two settings and character sets in such a way)

OK, this has to be the most original (and combined with good writing, that means "one of the best") alternative I've ever seen to what happens to Faith in canon. Within the context of my subjective biases, it's tied with "Child of Rao" for best ever. (I'd gladly explain why, but that'd be a big tangent and I've been trying to avoid those for the benefit of others)

Let's hope it continues to please me this much as I read on. (I've run across a fair few stories where they started out this good but then the author apparently ran out of steam and turned the story crappy and cliché in the hopes of reviving it... usually by switching from character-driven to combat-driven storytelling)

I really want to read this story - it seems interesting and obviously is well liked. But I am boycotting Buffy/Angel pairing for now, so could you please tell me what is the other half for Buffy in this story and it's next parts so unwelcome surprises don't ruin the work.
If you don't want to tell who is Slayers love interest just tell me it isn't souled Angelus and I promise to later write a detailed review.
Please?

I just had an epiphany of how the Asguard and the Nox can dial the gate without a DHD or seemingly any external power source while reading your story!

Somehow they make a micro wormhole using the Stargate network and dial into the other side, which then supplies the power for the full stargate wormhole! They don't even produce an unstable event horizon because the event horizon has already been stabilized for the micro wormhole!!

Other than that, can't review much this chapter, saving it all for the final chapter. Just wanted to post this on the appropriate chapter since it really only applies here, and not as a blanket comment.

How is it that I haven't read this story before?!
Well written, planned, and great characterization. Now, I need to go find the sequel!

nice

sheeesh, you are so smooth I think that you could convince me black was white, or that maby the moon is made of cheese
