I am liking how this one is going so far. Keep up the excellent work.

I'll try but no promises. I'm glad that you're having fun. :D

Awesome story, I look forward to seeing more!

Cheers

I'll see what I can do about putting out a new chappy soon.

XD Good old Cordy, how her anger is miss placed. She might throw a punch herself at Ethan and risk breaking a nail if she learns that it was him that cast the spell. I can see Riddick being amused by her and added to the pack against her will, she certainly is fiesty like Jack/Kira.

Hmm, now the real question is...Riddick current time? Past? Future? You are implying current time...but nothing says it has to be.

Great chapter!

You have a very good point. That will let me play with how fast or slow Riddick gets there. *evil smirk* Unfortunately due to the nature of the spell I don't have the same luxury for those who were actually on the planet at the time unless they were using something specifically from a particular timeperiod in the person/character's life/timeline. I will be keeping that little time frame nugget in mind though. I do so ^love^ to play with such things in the depths of my simulator-like nightmarish mind. *Mwahahahaha!!!!*

Is Joyce going to act more Dr. Jonesy around Giles? The Jedi is a good default but I think Joyce does her best work with an attitude.

Oz talking to his family will be interesting. I'd think that if you love someone, or even care about them at all, you'd tell them when exposing them to an incurable STD. Yes I think lycanthropy counts. Transmitted by saliva. There is no cure.

It doesn't count as an STD because you can't get it by having sex. It would probably count as a virus, symbiote, or parasite possibly even a bacteria. An STD by definition is a ^sexually^ transmitted disease and the current medical definition of Lycanthropy is closer to a mental condition which is why I use the more common, classic/layman's definition. It means I don't have to explain much except which subspecied is involved if I don't want to and not even that. But you've raised good points and I don't really plan to use the Jedi as a default, I just figured the Jedi mindset/meditation techniques were a good way to keep her from freaking out or getting to angry over the situation until she could properly calm down and think about it all logically. We'll just have to see how it all develops. XD

Very nice!!

I rather hope whatever plan Cordelia tries to cook up completely blows up in her face because of the changes some have under gone and the effects it can have on the others.

I hope you consider doing a reactionary chapter of like Riddick waking up wherever he happens to be in the universe and maybe anyone else who might have become aware of things because of the Halloween night. Like... Indiana Jones could still be alive, granted he would be about 98 years old, and get a kick that he got one last adventure (and maybe sending things to Joyce as a sort of inheritance) or even something Torchwood-esque since someone might have noticed The Doctor reaching into this dimension to help Giles. Even Jenny could gain the attention of the Greek Gods considering she was in Wonder Woman's shoes for the night; that be interesting to see how it affects her magic.

Thanks for reminding me of some areas that would be good to at least look at even if I don't decide to do something complex with them. And your Riddick chapter is up!

this is a FANTASTIC story!!!! When Riddick comes to earth, is he going to lay down some Domination to the planet or just take Xander and the gang? Oh and is Xander going to be in a relationship with Riddick or is it going to be more along the lines of little brother, Pack mentality? REALLY looking forward to your next update!!!!

Frankly I'm not sure. I'm leaning toward a pairing but writing any Riddick is pushing my comfort zone as is. Dare I go farther into uncharted territory and try to write an actual pairing? I don't know. I've always been a bit scared of screwing up writing anything to do with the Riddick verse so I've avoided it, same thing with writing any sort of pairing no matter what it may seem in my writing. If you can see a pairing good for you 'cuz up to this point I've only daydreamed about pairings and possibly writing them.

Good catch on the T Virus. I was wondering about that....

Yeah, I thought I'd been clear and then I went back and realized that I hadn't even put it in the story! That's what I get for writing when I'm exhausted.

Good dodged two bullets there, Chaos magic could explain Joyce's tumor later in the show, and ugg the world does not need T-Virus running around. That would spoil everything.

Great chapter!

I had originally thought that I'd dealt with the T-virus but it was a very busy chapter and I accidentally dropped it. It gave me the chance to do one better than what I was originally planning in my exhausted state. I'm glad that you enjoyed the final result.

*snicker* Lol good to see some good happening for Oz. He may be a wolf still but at least this time he gets to keep his memory and control.

Yup, and immortality to boot.

Couldn't help yourself with the Cordelia thing could you?

Nope not really. XD

Yay glad my muse could be useful for you. Now if I could get her to work on my own stories instead of others. XD

Can't wait to see peoples reactions like Buffy and Giles finally catching a clue about Xanders home life. I'm also curious about Oz since he doesn't see Willow after the spell ends and catches his attention. -is an Oz fan-

Ack! Between you and Missinglink I'm getting loads of plot bunnies! *looks to the side and is overrun by a flood of plot bunnies!* XD

Well you asked what now so I have in turn questions for you, some of which it seems you answered in other reviews.

If Xander retained traits and abilities from Riddick, is he now possibly Furian? Since you say Riddick does exist in this universe, keep it as a thing that hangs out there, but doesn't resolve for a long time yet as traveling that distance would be time consuming no matter the tech. Will Xander's new traits draw the slayer aspect in Buffy or Dawn as the hyena did seem to tempt Buffy somewhat? The play out of this with regards to Willow and what we know canon was will be interesting to explore some. You might have some interesting angles on Xander's struggle with instincts and skills that are more prevalent from his possession and how he deals with it.

With Joyce's change and the inclusion of Dawn you might need to deal with the whole tumor/aneurysm deal. You might be able to take care of it thru Jedi meditation/healing, but it would be nice to at least resolve so that possible road bump is taken care of. Will her changes make her more involved in the research and training in a Giles like role? If so does this affect the relationship between Giles and Jenny? After all S3 did show there was possibilities there of a relationship and with them possibly in a position to spend more time together it would alter that dynamic. Also it might mean either no Ted showing up or if he does a quick disposal due to her being able to read his artificialness due to her Jedi training.

Dawn is a biggie. What age are we going with for Dawn? Because that can be interesting as an angle to play with her being either preteen/tween or just becoming a teen (13 or 14). Between the slayer aspect and her memories/abilities from Alice that would make for a pretty vicious fighter and one that will have some need to hunt the demons of the town. Joyce might not like it, but will understand it due to what she has taken on herself. Buffy though may have a harder time of it and feel even more competitive with her either due to issues with the primal slayer or protective feelings for Dawn that maybe irrational, but she can't avoid. Also Dawn's crush on Xander that was hinted at combined with whatever influences the primal slayer might impart due to his more equal status could offer some interesting interplay in the group.

Jenny keeping some of Wonder Woman's aspect leaves the question as to how much of it, and which version of Wonder Woman. Like any comic character she has been both insanely powerful as well as portrayed as just the peak of human performance. Did the lasso and bracelets stay the same? How will Diana's personality vestiges deal with her having to lie to allies about her mission there and the conflict that internally may need to be dealt with.

Like any YAHF the others possibly affected are going to have to be a point in this. You mentioned a Scarecrow and that would be interesting, but there could be countless others, or you might be better off having it turn out be be a small percentage that remained affected. The scoobies more strongly so due either to what there characters were doing prior to the end of the spell or the nature of the characters. What about Cordy? Did she end up at Ethan's as a special reveal later or was she still the cat girl and if so then how did she escape Jojo the dog faced wonder? Was Oz affected or any of the other usual group like Amy, Jonathan, Tucker or Andrew Wells, Warren, Harmony or the sheep, Snyder, or the Mayor?

Fun start to it and hope things keep developing as well as they have. Like the bent on it you are taking and appreciate the fun read. Later.

*jaw drops* I had a vague idea about how to consider some of these things but not all of them.... WOW! You've really put some serious thought into this and managed to help me sort out my own thoughts all at the same time as raising questions I would have totally forgotten about. I am now very very glad that I asked you all ^What's Next?^ You just spawned a plot bunny stampede. I will definitely have to integrate a large part of the answers for your questions. Did Murphy or Q put you up to blowing up my mind?

Edit:
I forgot to mention that yes Xander is now a Furian. I thought that I was clear on that at where Ethan broke the bust. Xander was close enough to the focus to be changed by the chaos magic and Giles transformed because of the nature of the way the chameleon arch works and is reversed. The power of time is difficult to remove from one's very being and Giles was in the middle of being flooded with it. 'sides its not like the Timelords didn't use to travel between universes.

Oh wow, everyone (except Buffy and Willow) in the group kept something.
Interesting, so we seem to have a Timelord, an Immortal Amazon, a Jedi (with extras), a Furian, 2 slayers (one of whom is also the Key), a Witch and a Chaos Mage?
Oh my I wonder who and what else is left over...

Great chapter!

Buffy and Willow had the same left overs as in the series I just saw no reason to go into it again. *smirk* I'm glad you like it. XD

great story! im looking forward to your next update!!

I just put it up. I'm glad that you're having fun. XD
