This is just plain awesome. I'm not exactly sure where you're going with this (even as I notice a few minor divergences) but I can't wait to see more. Accidental pirate broadcasts FTW!

Holy fan blades hitting something wet and stinky. Hell of an idea and story. Please add more. I do not think Harmony was at the frat house; but this is a different verse. Awesome fic. Thanks

Originally Harmony wasn't, but really it was the kind of event you'd expect her to go to and I don't recall who the third girl was.

Off Hand, Xander is going to have people interested in him. The Girls so they can have their own White Knight. Several previously unaware governmental agencies to get the straight poop, they might recruit him. As for Buffy, while Giles and Joyce maybe amused by Dawn's efforts to win his heart, Buffy will only see her baby sister sitting on his lap, and for that and reveiling her mistakes to the world she may try to kill him. I forsee interesting times ahead for the White Knight and the Key who loves him.
Peace

Strange, this is probably the first story from you i have read where i haven't had a single clue what was going on after the first chapter. Don't get me wrong it was a nice read, well written and everything, but regarding the plot i haven't got the foggiest where you intend to go with this. What do cameras have to do with Spells anyway?
I hope things become clearer in the next few chapters otherwise i shall be completly lost :p

Well, the CONCEPT seems interesting- although more chapters are needed to get a better feel for what's happening-, but characterisation-wise I'm really not sure about what you've done with Cordelia- given that she vocally told Harmony off for insulting Xander after that love spell fiasco it's fairly clear that she's not THAT shallow, so you've basically created a weak plot device just to ditch something you yourself don't like-, and you're being a bit extreme on Angel-related matters; putting aside the fact that Buffy was SIXTEEN when he first saw her (Saying she's fourteen makes him seem a bit of a perve but at least by sixteen she's legally mature in places), Angel HAS changed a lot since his original time as a human, and it's hardly fair to judge him based on what he was CENTURIES ago after everything he's experienced.
Angel might not be perfect, but he's NOT Liam either; Liam would NEVER have had the strength to make the decisions Angel's made since he got his soul back (He might not have started the 'Champion' thing yet, but he's at least making an effort not to be what it would be easy for him to regress back to)

Cordelia gave her parents a ridiculous price tag for breaking up with Xander to get them off her back, little did she know they would actually go through with it. I never liked the fact that she ended up broke and couldn't go to college when her parents should have thought ahead and provided for her.
Xander and Dawn being judgmental about Angel?! Are you sure? I always thought they were his biggest fans. *snicker*
Angel first saw Buffy as a freshman in LA. Whistler showed her to him saying she would need his help in Sunnydale.

Interesting so far. I like the Fairy Tale aspect of the story telling, it makes it more amusing. Can't wait to see what direction you go in and what crossovers you use.

Please continue. You seem to be one of the few writers on this site that agree with my interpretation and I think joss' of Angels situation. Liam was kind of a lazy loser, but so is Xander a lot of the time and he dosen't have to spend eternity trying to get redemtpion for one stupid mistake. I mean Liam didn't know vamps were real or about the curse breaking clause, so he's not really responsible, because he was ignorant. If he had known, neither situation would have arisen and the story would be duller. I think Angel and Xander never liked each other because they recognized how similar they were or could be considering their similar origins. By that I mean being losers in youth and having abusive parents. Both being told they were essentially worthless. I like this no xander or angel bashing direction. please continue this story.

I was hoping I had it balanced enough to show that it's not all black and white and that he did get a raw deal, but at the same time remember the two characters talking about him aren't exactly his biggest fans.

oh come on, what's with the cordelia thing? it's out of character and poorly thought out at this point. i know you most likely want xander free for you desired pairing, which by the way drops my respect for your writing even more (never use a cheap plot device to break up a canon pairing to facilitate a pairing of your choice it makes you no better than yaoi fangirls and slashers. if you are going to break a couple up do it right or don't do it at all.) but being bribed to dump xander?
to someone who likes the technical aspects of a story it's a massive red flag.
