Lots of enjoyable drama, character moments and humor in this chapter. So far the story is much more than I expected it would be from reading the first chapter. Thanks for continuing and sharing this story.

Uhm... the formatting on this chapter is a little screwy. Just thought that I'd let you know.

Keep writing! (^_^)/
BEM

And it's a go! All fixed...the computer I used earlier didn't showed the weird little characters - I didn't know how bad it was until I got home!

"BOSS!"

"This better be good, Harmony," Angel snapped as his secretary barrelled into the room.

"Sorry, boss," she said excitedly, " I did mean to knock, honest I did, but I thought you¡'d want to know about it as soon as possible."

"Know about what as soon as possible?" Angel prompted, attempting to hold onto the last dregs of his patience.

"About the apocalypse, of course."

For a beat, the room was deathly silent.

"Must be Tuesday, then," Spike piped up cheerfully.



Gotta Love It.

I kinda figured Methos would irk Angel some. Ol' brood boy needs it. To bad Spike's still a ghost at this point.

Can't you just see he & Methos becoming drinking buddies and arguring about the 'fine choice of hopps'.

I'm enjoying the story, but something has gone badly wrong with this chapter; all of the punctuation is showing as weird characters.

Bugger...I'll go and fix it - serves me right for cutting and pasting!

Thanks for adding in a lot of backstory, flashes of the past year or so. This plus Methos' reactions most satisfying. I'm guessing he did get her to do the physical training part, else it would be too dangerous to take her anywhere.

Funny you should mention the training...chapter 3 coming up :-)

Like, keep the chapters coming, can't wait to see how W&H and Fangs are going to react to Death being Tara's mentor.

Get Harmony to recognize Immortals, say from her time in France, when she was turned she was going to go to France and went as Vamp.

more more more.

Well, I have to say that I really like this story so far. Since you seem to have a pairing of Tara and Adam/Methos, are they ever going to track Willow down? Cause I'd really like for them to get back together, if possible. But I will go along with whatever you choose to write. =] That is your priviledge as the Author.

To answer you question: No, the only relationship between Methos and Tara is that of student and teacher :-) As I mentioned on another board; "No gay characters are going to be straightened for the purposes of this story!" I also love the Tara/Willow pairing and, as this story comes from the crazed imaginings of *my* mind, I fully intend to get these two characters back together...

Bet you weren't expecting an answer this long!

Wonderful start! I am anxiously waiting to see where you take this story.

An interesting start. Not quite what I expected from the set-up. I thought you might try to go AU from the series from Adam's point of insertion. I do like the idea of the usually sunny and stable Tara being Adam's student. Just the sort of thing to give him some hope. I kinda liked the concept that Methos had not encountered a "real" vampire since before the beginning of western civilization. Or perhaps you're going by the theory thta the hellmouth effects the behavior of the vamps, and thus harder to detect in non-hellmouthy areas? Thanks for sharing the tale.

Thanks for the review! To answer your question, I'm working on the theory vampires are quite rare and only in places like the Hellmouth (or L.A.!) would you find them in great numbers. I didn't want Methos to just shrug and go 'ho hum, just another vampire.' - it wouldn't half as amusing!

As for the A.U. thing, the story will continue to be written in two different timelines - the summers of 2002 and 2003.

So you never know...

Outfreakingstanding start! I very seldom make threats against a bard, that whole ability to take revenge through the written word and all, but you HAVE to write more to this marvelous story. I thought your merging of the Buffyverse and the Immortal world was wonderful. The logical way "Adam" looked at Sunnydale and its weirdness was perfect and quite funny. And your characterizations were wonderful. Not the least wonderful thing was you brought Tara back. All in all, I will sue if you don't write more! OK, I won't sue. But there may be voodoo dolls and pins, large pins, brought into the negotiations. Once again, please write more to your wonderful story. I will send you chocolate chip cookies if you do!

Is this the point where I start shaking in my stylish yet affordable boots?

Thanks for the enthusiastic review, it was a great boost! Okay, here is the good news; yes, there is more coming. And the bad news? I'm not the quickest writer off the block - but I do always finish my stories :-)

Nicely written. Good use of poor Tara who just doesn't get enough 'screen' time in fics, so to speak. Lovely bit of a plot, too. Will there be more or was it just a one off?

Thanks for the lovely review! And yes, there is more to come.

Excellent start. Thanks for the nice long chapter. I like the premise and although I can't quite get my head around Tara wielding a sword, I think your writing is good enough to convince me. I look forward to reading more.
