I’m sorry it took me so long to comment, I’ve been busy with Christmas-prep these past couple of days and just now decided to go through my inbox of all the comments I’d read but needed to respond to.
Might I suggest posting a link to this at http://crossoverfic.livejournal.com/?
Christmas has come early in the form of this amazing fic. Oh wow. I love it, and I love you. Thank you so much!
And then the man meets the vampire’s eyes. His eyes become even sharper and colder, even more assessing. For a long moment their gazes are locked, and then the look in the human’s eyes fades into a dismissive one. He turns away, too late to curb Angelus’ interest.
Methos is thinking “amateurs.”
“You chase death, Daddy,” she says.
“What do you mean by that, Dru?”
“You chase death, death, Death on a horse.” She reaches out to him, her eyes wide and appealing. “Leave him alone, Daddy. He doesn’t need or want your kiss.”
*sporfles* Also, ILU Dru!
He doesn’t understand. He laughs. “Why would it matter to me what he wants?”
*grinz* Oh, this is gonna be FUN!
Angelus doesn’t mind; after all, it was his intention from the start of this to make Benjamin doubt his own senses.
*shudders* That’s what freaked me out most about Angelus, he wanted to drive you crazy before he killed you.
Angelus leaves not long afterward, noticing as he does the strip of reflective glass previously at his back. He supposes that Benjamin must not have noticed the absence of his reflection, or that he easily dismissed it as a trick of light or reflection. After all, Angelus would have heard the human’s heartbeat speed up, were it otherwise.
Oooooooooo …
He finds the marks on her neck. For quite some time he simply looks at them, and then he stands and stalks toward the street. That sharp, cold look is back in his eyes, but far more intense than it ever was before. He is scanning all of his surroundings, peering into the depths of every shadow. There is something of the hunter in his manner, or of the about-to-strike murderer.
I know I should be scared or sad or something, but I just want to punch the air now!

Alright, let's see if I can do it justice with my own commentary on the commentary XD

Thanks for the suggestion, I think I'll do just that. I quite like the look of that community (crossovers can be awesome).
Also, ILU Dru!
She's my favourite, I just had to slip her in there. *happily lapses into daydreaming about Dru*
*shudders* That’s what freaked me out most about Angelus, he wanted to drive you crazy before he killed you.
It's actually what intrigued me most about Angelus. Uh, there might be something wrong with me.
Oh this is brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Methos, you snarky bastard, I love you so much!
I'm very glad that I seem to have written Methos well ^_^
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (Sorry, I just …) SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Heheh, thanks.
Awwwwwwwwww … this is now on the list of my many OTPs. Oh dear lord.
I never really thought I would end up shipping Methos and Buffy, but then we were discussing it, and then I was writing this, and... well.
Thank you for every word of this feedback, seriously.

*snerk* Not the weirdest thing Methos has ever heard of. Not even in the top 20.

I love their snark, and how Buffy just punched him and Methos almost fell the hell over.

Apparently, deleting messages from the inbox only works if you click one particular "delete" and not the other; the other one deletes the comment itself. As I use a laptop touchpad, I shall have to be careful to keep my mouse away from the second delete button...
