I just remembered another story involving the KoB - http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-15068/DreamOfStories+What+we+do+for+Family.htm.

I believe Amy has made a big mistake - the Chinese will get involved, and the Chinese slayer really seems on the ball; and together her and Riley have quite a lot of clout - with military and intelligence services. Her method to attempt to kill Riley lacks subtlety, and was using a sledgehammer to kill a mouse (in relative terms of the forces brought to bear to try to kill one man), and attracts attention to her from the above mentioned powerful mil/int forces.

Also REALLY remote area so its going to take a while for 'whoever' to work out what's gone wrong. Amy has a window of opportunity, not a very big one but its there.

So now the high powered rifles come in and Willow will get the third degree. Crap, meet fan...

Thanks for writing

Thank-you,
D.

You'd think that by now Giles and Willow would know about Slayer hearing...

Giles is suffering from jey-lag and you know how Willow tends to just babble on!

Cheers,
D.

Oooops! I don't think that was a good idea... Thank you for another fab chapter

My pleasure.

Cheers,
D.

And... nobody really knows anything about Faith's past, other than she was from Boston. Hm, if this 'change' goes through, please please have her turn into the kid Eliza D. played in the film "True Lies". Instant parents. heh, with lots of extra problems attached.
I have to say, this is the worst idea Willow's ever had. I'm sure she'll go through with it too.
Gee, Xander really has fallen down the supervillain hole. Apparently wants to monolog at Buffy after his revenge is done. Wow.

But of course...which can mean just about anything!

Cheers,
D.

Xander a bad guy--don't sat it is so.

Great story so far. More soon. For some reason I didn't get or missed the update notices but am glad to see more of Faith in the army!

I've noticed update notifications don't always work. No idea why.

Cheers,
D.

Well, I'm a little sorry to see that you didn't have Xander learn from his mstakes [really, the monster-girl thing was very early, not late season], but the series as a whole is particularly good. Thanks for writing these!

Well, Anya was a demon and there was that demon girl in season 7. I felt it was something that would follow him for the rest of his life unless he got away from hellmouths.

Cheers,
D.

Dave - there are two stories that I know of that have the KoB post S5: your compatriot Marcus Rowland's http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-5220/MarcusRowland+The+Key+to+Byzantium.htm, and Jaded's http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-24875/Jaded+Sunrise+on+the+White+House.htm.

Cheers.

I started reading 'Sunrise on the White House' but stopped for some reason, and I might have read Marcus's work. However I will check both out again.

"Amy suddenly wished she had a cat to stroke" Great image.

I almost wrote 'pussy' but I thought that was going too far!

Cheers,
D.

Good to see Riley survived. I'm hoping the younger Chinese Slayer got out, too.

Anyway, it looks like this little grudge match is about to turn into an international incident.

The two Chinese slayers were originally from a fic of mine that got abandoned but I liked the characters. One day they may reappear.

Cheers,
D.

Huh. I wonder if Shi. knows his wife is a slayer, even "the" slayer... not important. Wow, the Knights have taken heavy casualties and so far have nothing. They never were all that competent.
Riley should definitely stay behind a desk, he's too high ranking to be doing this sort of thing anymore. And Xander hasn't even struck yet...probably. It's kind of weird that neither Buffy nor Willow even know that he's now "out" of the council. Maybe Giles didn't have the heart to tell them?

Maybe, people employed by the K of B to do their dirty work.

I agree that Riley should stay behind his desk but being a combat soldier at heart he probably jumped at the chance for one last hurrah!

Cheers,
D.

I don't really think that Amy or the Knights wanted to to provoke the ire of the Chinese army. They messed it up biig time.
Cool chapter, see ya!.

Not even the Chinese army can be everywhere.

I looked this area up on Google maps before I wrote this piece, the area ids very much as I discribe it although all the names are changed and there aren't actually any villages. Its so remote that no ones sure where the international borders are!

Cheers,
D.

Standard portrayal of a communist, eh? Last Chinese guy joked about it, but not by repeating that propaganda stuff, just mentioning the problems. But maybe thats because of his job (prof. at uni.).

About the description of "black burning disc" - at first I thought "UFOs" but now I'm more like "portals". A bit confusion there.

I also semi-hoped that Riley would die, because I don't like the jerk. But I don't think you would listen to me if I were to say "make it info Fuffy fic".

Yep portals.

Oh come on Riley wasn't all bad...well maybe he was but it does mean you have to go some to make him worse than he was!

And who else would put up with Buffy, they're made for each other!

Cheers,
D.

Well, at least he survived for now. So the Chinese Slayers are part of the Chinese armed forces? Even the ethnic ones? And how do the US feel about thatm, I wonder...

Thanks for writing.

I couldn't imagine the Chinese organising their slayers any other way, so I ran with it.

Cheers,
D.

I m loving this series, once I started only sleep stopped me. Can't wait for the next chapter to come out, hope it's soon.

Don't stay up too late!

Cheers,
D.
