So, what happened with Oz...I mean he was clearly interested in Willow since the episode with the mummy. They must have met since they were both offered the same job offer by that technology firm. I think mainly because there was no Order of Teraka around trying to eliminate Buffy; then he wouldn't have gotten shot trying to protect Willow which definitely put him on her radar. However, that hasn't happened here it seems; which begs the question, with his super hearing...wouldn't Xander hear Oz talking about his interest in Willow to Devon? Besides, it's kinda been established that he's more into strong, confident women...which, sorry to say...Willow most certainly is not at this point in time.

I was on my third, maybe fourth reread of this, and realized, I had yet to review it. Had to even go to my own profile to double check. I've gotta say, while I love Under an Iron Moon, this is actually my favorite work of yours. You can see the twelve kinds of shite Xander's slowly stirring up around him, while he's fumbling around trying to get a grip on what defines 'Him'.
I like the interweaving you've done with the OYL Teen Titans stuff, while slowly pushing it further and further from canon. Hell, you've done a better job then Geoff did making me like the plot lines, and explanations for what was happening in that period. That in and of itself is a hell of an accomplishment.
I like the by play with Batman in Sunnydale 'stalking' Buffy, and especially the rather well done shot on Angel you managed with it.
I'm curious to see where you're going with Jericho, you seem to have plans for him, though I may be wrong there, but you've put a bit of characterization in there, and managed to make him come off a bit more human then I would've expected, and the dialogue between him and Buffy in particular seems to be leading to a more well developed character.
Anywho, hope to see new chapters of this soon.

How will Xander let Willow down? I mean, Connor's memories are leading him towards Cassie. His own led him to Buffy and Kara (kinda). Xander is attracted to strong-willed women, which Willow (in the beginning) certainly isn't.

Mythbusters has been right about once every several hundred myths. I have several arrows on my mantle that have been Robin Hooded. All it takes is good aim and hitting it just right.

I rather liked this story in many ways and I hope it gets updated again some time. I liked how several girls started to show some interest in Xander, how he had super hotties hitting on him as well as Willow, Dawn and possibly a more interseted Buffy in this story. If it had continued I would wonder where it might be going, far to many stories of this type end of one of two ways. They either have a badly written harem start up, or suddenly Xander finds 'true love' with one girl and basicaly ignores all the others that until that moment seemed to have a real connection with him.
One of my favorite cross overs set in the DC world will always be Terminal Justice, the one dealing with Mr. Black. But I felt that story did what most DC stories do, introduce a bunch of hot girls interseted in a character then just pick one in the end and ignore the previous flirting.
Thanks to Mythbusters? Mythbusters is full of shit man, proven fact - my whole family bowhunts and we've all split arrows; all it takes is a direct impact on the piece that holds the string on an arrow to split it down the middle. Especially with a broad head, if you're using target points it merely creates a double length warped arrow.
And don't even get me started on what they call detcord or any of their other experiments with explosives. Especially those used by the military; they're all wrong - simply put they either don't use the right materials or have no idea what the hell they're doing. My father was in demolitions and used detcord for everything from cutting roads out of a forest to cutting bridges in half; the idiots on Mythbusters supposedly couldn't even do more than knock needles off an evergreen tree.
I watched that episode, they claimed that was detcord; but one damn thing is for certain it wasn't detcord.
Don't believe everything you see on TV, and especially not anything you see on mythbusters. ________
As to the story itself, I enjoy what I've read of it.
Loved this story! Better then your GL one, I liked the first part of it though the second kind of turned me off, personal preferences, ya know? I loved this story though, not the biggest fan of Xander YAHF's, a lot of them have interesting ideas but devolve later on into a bad cliche. Yours is different and I will be re-reading this some more times.
LoL I was really having a WTF face when I reached the end of chapter 11, I was so engrossed that I didn't even notice where I was. That's how good this story is, you start reading and cant stop! I know you're actively writing your GL story so I hope that soon you return to this one! 10 of 10 + a recommendation for this wonderful story!
