This is a very cool AU. I must say your cliffhanger was a bit of an butt-kicker, but I really want to see What Comes Next. I just hope all five of them can work things out. Hey, maybe Xander can end up with a harum. He always did like powerful women and he couldn't find four more powerful than Buffy, Faith, Willow, and Tara. Lol!

I wasn't sure where you were going with this story in the beginning but after reading what you have written so far I know I'm looking forward to where ever and whatever is going to happen next. Keep up the great job!

This story moves really fast, not a lot of filler. But I like the plot and the characters. Kinda funny that you made Mulder the somewhat bad guy here. Look forward to more.
Interesting story. Xander as rather young immortal takes Tara as pupil? Maybe she can teach him some meditation techniques in return. Why would the police investigate a demon murder? I look forward for how this will continue. Will Willow look for Tara?

The police are investigateing a public murder, even if it a private club, it would get out. but as the story goes, their not really looking hard.
Willow hasnt really looked with magic. at this time in the show she was worried about going dark again. she would look with other means.

Coola nd very different so far! Poor Xander! How dare the Council!! Why didn't anyone who faught the vamps that day try to back him up in court? Buffy was voted class protector and all the other students knew they hung around each other. How could the others drift from him? Has Giles visited at all? He gave his life for them! Pity some of the demons can't get him out. Will Mulder and Scully show up again? Keep going!!!!

Well, no one would want to be first to say that a Demon and a Vampires did this, who wants the world to think that your crazy. Giles visits but not like willow or Buffy. so didnt write it down. I have a little more a Mulder later.

You have a good sense of narrative and character development, but you keep seeming to lose track of your plot details. What happened to Giles in part 1 getting Xander a better lawyer? What happened to Willow visitng every month after Xander realized he could be teleported out of jail by just her will? Why not good-cop bad-cop if you're going to use Scully and Mulder -- how come Xander was only questioned by Mulder? I really liked the part about the deamons leaving him little gifts.

Thanks, Sorry about the plot details, I was writing and still writing around 3 or others when this came out, I am up to part 6 an moving them over here. didnt want to dump them all at one time here. In the notes I did for the story Giles was still looking for a lawyer, till the next part, it hits the fan there.

Hey, interesting concept. but wouldn't there be plenty of students and parents to say that Xander wasn't in on it? Look forward to more. (question: why would Giles hire Wolfram and Hart? he's got to know they are evil, everyone in the mystical community does)
Comments from author:
Xanders parents did the hireing. Giles could not do a thing about it. Yes plenty of people saw whay happend, but no one wants to step up and tell the world that a demon and vampires did it.

Review:
So despite Mulder and Scully, it is going to be a HIGHLANDER cross-over right? What about that FBI guy whose and immortal (and a southern gentleman)? And if Giles was going to be getting Xander a better lawyer -- where is he? You zoom up to the opening of the trial? Looking forward to more.... really....

Its is a mainly Highlander cross. This story grew out a one shot I wrote, people wanted more background, its run slowly
