My Immortal. Between Canons: The Year That Never Was.

[elisi]

Here it is! Finally! Much, much, much longer than I anticipated, and a total pain to write. I swear, this would never have seen the light of day without my ever-amazing beta, kathyh, who also made the gorgeous banner!

Like Between Canons: Not Fade Away it is a complete standalone, even though it’s a FitB for My Immortal. I hope some of you feel bold

I haven't read your "My Immortal" stories. They're on my months long "to read" list, but the premise of this one got me and I had to read it right away. Very (you should pardon the expression) masterfully done. Engrossing.

Oh I know the feeling!

but the premise of this one got me
It is a wonderful premise, isn't it? And once I'd thought of it, it just grew and grew and grew... (Also, it really *is* a stand alone. Poor Buffy and Jack only get the one brief meeting.)

and I had to read it right away.
Really? *beams*

Very (you should pardon the expression) masterfully done. Engrossing.
Oh no, that's an excellent expression! ::is terribly flattered::

This is a place holder for when I get a chance to read this. Between hosting Thanksgiving and work *shudders* I probably won't get to it until Monday.

And now I have motivation for making it through the evil shoppers this weekend.

Hey, it took me 3-4 months to write, I'm sure it'll keep! :) And good luck with the evil shoppers, and I hope Thanksgiving will be good. *hugs*

OMG!
Gaw!
*gasp*

*jaw drop*

Well, this is dark. Wonderfully matter-of-fact. No more Spike!!!

My only hope is the clear awareness that The Master has bitten off more than he can hope to chew, enlisting Illyria.

Foolish mortal. :D

OMG!

*gasp*

*jaw drop*
:D :D :D :D (Seriously. Major grin all across my face. The children will be wondering what happened!)

Well, this is dark. Wonderfully matter-of-fact. No more Spike!!!
Well the world ended...

My only hope is the clear awareness that The Master has bitten off more than he can hope to chew, enlisting Illyria.
*laughs* Just wait and see!

Foolish mortal. :D
Hmmm, he's fairly immortal to be honest. At least, he's pretty brilliant at cheating death.

Oh.

Ohhhh! You killed Buffy! Poor girl died for the third time!

I totally love the story. It took me a while to figure it out, and I even had to visit Tardis Wikia to read about The Master, but I was rewarded with an absolutely delightful tale of heroism and sacrifice. Your Illyria voice is incredible!

This exchange just killed me!

But go on precious - how old are you?”

“Two hundred and fifty-four.”

Angel’s eyes are almost flickering gold, but the Master only smiles, the way one does when indulging a child.

“Aw bless. Well aren’t you a big boy! Clearly you ate up all your vegetables when your parents told you.”

You. Are. Evil. :)

[elisi]

Ohhhh! You killed Buffy! Poor girl died for the third time!
And it felt goooood! *grins evilly*

I totally love the story.
Squee!

It took me a while to figure it out, and I even had to visit Tardis Wikia to read about The Master, but I was rewarded with an absolutely delightful tale of heroism and sacrifice.
Aw, thanks! I tried my best to make things comprehensible to non-Whovians, but there's just so *much*, and Illyria isn't a very informative narrator. But - I'm glad you worked things out, and even more that you liked it! :)

Your Illyria voice is incredible!
*blushes* She's odd to write, because I knew exactly how she was going to behave, but writing it was a total and utter pain!

This exchange just killed me!
The Master is, without a shadow of a doubt, the Best. Villain. Ever.

You. Are. Evil. :)
That's what I keep saying...
