The hyena people are really creepy. And its kind of disheartening to see Xander getting all... brain washed into their cult. Xander should at least be uncomfortably reminded of the time Dracula had him under his thraw and he was eating bugs.

I still think Willow's bound to come looking for him eventually once she gets the report that her "Xander shaped friend" is missing. If you want to make it really feel like he's stuck in the Anita-verse permanetly, I think you need to mention why uber-witch Willow won't be coming to his rescue. An unstable time portal might be enough to slow her down, but Its hard to believe it could foil her from rescuing him permanetly.

*Edit: Editted my review because I changed my mind, didn't realize it would bump it up in the review listing. Whoops.*

Its cool that you continued this. It's refreshing to read a fic where Xander doesn't suddenly go gay when he gets to the Anita Blake verse. I really hope you follow up on the One Who Sees stuff. I always enjoy when writers follow up on that. I was scared off by the last chapter or anything, just made me feel uneasy. I guess cause the thought of having something inside you that practically forces you to rub up on strangers is grade A freaky to me.

I'm really enjoying this. It's a nice change to see this side of Narcissus. Poor Xander, though.

So glad you updated...***does a little happy dance*** =^.^=

This is really an interesting story! I'm looking forward to seeing how things progress.

Interesting fic~ I love the younger looking xander. Can't wait to see more sooN!

Nope, not scared off, hell, written any other way and it wouldn't be the narc that we all love.

good to see this updated. As i haven't read but one AB book (didn't like anita, loved nathaniel) it's a little easier for me to buy into the kinder Narcissus. Not that I think s/he will remain that, I think the character is entirely too wacked. However, Xander suddenly 14 again & a were to boot would naturally latch onto what his hyena says is a safe haven. (The entire scene in the clinic closet was stellar). You're presenting a very nice mixture of character development and detail, enough that I can see the AB world clearly. I hope that maybe Xander & Nathaniel can get to know each other, perhaps be friends but Anita seems to type to be threatened by even a 14 year old Xander & would probably pitch a fit.

I'm quite interested to see where this one goes. Glad you updated.

Glad to see more of your story. The plot parts are interesting... I enjoy the characterization parts, too. Thanks for sharing.

Poor Xan
Puberty... again!

BTW: Xan's hyena primal was female.

I'm really enjoying this fic. I think this is the first fic I've ever read where Narcissus is both well written and not an automatic bad guy. I like your characterization of Xander, it looks like he has become a respected hunter, but hes still a bit of a lovable goof. I can't wait to see more of this, I hope that you update again soon.

Nice update .... glad to see it .. and I look forward to reading more.

I still can't believe they went to Anita's home. lol. They must really need help.

Didn't scare me off - i jumped happily at seeing this was updated and I want more!! This was a great chapter and I can't wait to see how this progresses. Hopefully a bit quicker... :D

keep penning,
