this was really unexpected; i wasn't sure what i was getting into when i started this, but now im glad i did. it's a really great story that kept throwing one twist after another into my path and i enjoyed every second of it!

I'd write it a little differently if I was doing it today, but it's nice that people still seem to like it - thanks!

Loved it! Gave it a 10 for originality and complete and utter unexpectedness from the denouement. Also love that you added a little science in there with it. The American characters sounded unfortunately British, but you did warn about that in every chapter, so I'm not complaining (though my OCD absolutely would not let me not mention it).

Thanks - it's got a lot of flaws but still seems to be reasonably popular, which is nice.

Hope you like the sequels.

This was a really enjoyable story with a complex plot and a lot of action (and crossovers).

I wasn't a huge fan of how seemingly-easy everything came to Angel, but I did like Dawn as an immortal. She quickly figured out the advantages being unkillable brings to a fight. I'm not sure how I felt about Percy being the Big Bad, and that whole bit seemed almost TOO complex, but all in all the story was good.

If I was writing this today I'd probably do things a little differently, some of the plot twists were caused by me not researching the HP books thoroughly enough and remembering a few things wrong; also by my getting seriously annoyed with a couple of the reviewers and changing things just to annoy them! As it says at the start, I began writing it at the beginning of Angel S5 and was completely wrong about the development of the series, which doesn't help.

But overall I think it works reasonably well and most people seem to like it, which I suppose is what's important.

Many thanks for reviewing!

This was really quite interesting. Thanks for writing this, bye for now.

I wrote it a long time ago, and it would be very different if I was writing it now, but I had a lot of fun with it - glad you liked it.

Quite an interesting story. The plot is spectacular, IMO, with the chief flaw that Percy, with his very brief appearance at the end of the story, didn't seem to be too well-written for his role. Overall, though, I found it quite enjoyable.

Percy does appear earlier, in the scenes at Gringrott's Bank. I'd agree his guilt doesn't become obvious until fairly late in the story, but he's really trying very hard to stay under the radar.

Nice DC and Stargate influence. I'm not really sure using Sopranos rather than OCs added anything to the story, other than the interesting bit of Willow picking up that Tony was on psych meds everything else flowed naturally from them being well-written mobsters...

I love that you started this fic before Angel Season 5, good predictions/view :D

Good detective story. Nice romances. Fred's kid should be cute - glad her tech is improving by leaps and bounds as well as spreading :D

Great teachers and Wizarding society views. Awesome attacks, flashback and otherwise. I'm glad Dawn's immortality and Angel's undead status came in handy.

Good use of Baba Yaga as well.

It's not my best work, but people seem to like it - one day I will finish the story about Faith's death, which is mentioned in passing. The Baba Yaga is underutilised in fic, I think Bujold fandom has a few stories but that's about it.

Another treasure tripped over on this site. A fun triple-pluss crossover and actually a pretty good mystery as well, with the crunchy character stuff that that makes me smile. Well done, and thanks for writing!

It's not my best work - there are bits there which show me desperately papering over the cracks from earlier chapters - but it was a fun one and people seem to like it - glad you do too.

Charlie W. arranging a hit on Harry? Hmmm... never liked most of this family *g*

It's a LOT more complicated than it looks...

read the first chapter and OMG!
This is why i always come back to certain writers. Never dissappointing.
and Charlie? i really hope it's polyjuice charlie.

Hope you'll enjoy the rest - it's not my best plotted story, but it more or less works.

very entertaining read, thank you.

A bit out of date and VERY AU now, but people still seem to like it. Thanks!

"Sometimes it impresses people, once a headhunter laughed so much I was able to stab him before he recovered."

LOL! Oh, I'd love to see the Watcher's report on that. Can't you just picture Joe and Adam laughing over that account?

Of all the stupid ways to die that has to be one of the stupidest...

i'm confused if Dawn is already immortal, why would lorne be worried that she was going to get herself killed when she left the bar?? since she is immortal wouldn't she just be at risk of ruining a nice top??

Harry doesn't know she's immortal - Lorne doesn't immediately know specifics, and for all he knows there's a headhunter out there. After Harry's gone he realises that Dawn will be killed protecting Harry, but by then it's too late.

I really enjoyed this story, which I found when you recently posted another story in this series. I really liked your imaginative use of Soprano's near-death experience as his first-death as an immortal.

I would like to point out that in American usage, "knock you up" (seen in chapter II) would almost always be taken to mean impregnate, rather than knock on the door. In fact, I've always thought of the "non-dirty" meaning of that as a British usage--although I am American, so you should know whether it is or not. At any rate, Dawn would not have said that in the context you used it.

Yes, I got it wrong, you're not the first to point it out, but there are a load of other problems with the story and I really don't have time to rewrite it, much as I'd like to, so I'm not fixing anything for now.

Like your epilog. Would be interested in how Hermione and George got together, but I suppose you might be able to see the smart research book girl and the smart reasearch practical guy with a sense of humor working it out. Thanks for sharing.
With Star Gate, the Wizarding world and the Watchers Council all existing in the same world, I would hope you'd explore a crossover with Star Gate at some time. Maybe Dawn would like mini-Jack?

Glad you've enjoyed this - I've written one Stargate crossover, The Key To Byzantium, but I'd better warn you up front that the title is a little misleading.

Interesting... the evidence was heading towards Percy, but they had no real proof only circumstance. Guess one of the muggle things Percy didn't check into was a gamers/comics book reader's guide to what not to do if you are the evil overlord/super villian.
