Why This Must Be Read: I'm a self confessed cross over junkie and while this is not the first crossover I ever read it was the one that cemented my love for crossovers.

It's got Angst!Buffy, interfering PTB, Daniel being Daniel and Faith is lewd and crude. One of the reasons that it needs to be read is it's not your typical Buffy joins the SGC or SG1 goes to Sunnydale story. It has depth and reasoning behind the actions that are taken by the PTB but then Daniel could just be going crazy... again.

So, 27 languages, mostly from Europe,” Buffy said thoughtfully, moving to pick up the scythe again, as she tried to remember exactly which ones. A look of surprise came over her face. “You learned Tolkien’s elf languages?”

He flushed self-consciously, muttering something about being bored one day, but Buffy wasn’t paying attention as she looked confused.

“Wait…how did I know that?! Why…? Hey! Why do I know the language?! Why do I know several languages now?! What the hell did you do to me?” she yelped, looking in wide-eyed shock at the handsome man.

Daniel looked at her in surprise, then said something to her in another language. She socked him in the arm.

“That’s disgusting enough in the English language, Daniel - I don’t think it was ever meant to be said in Ancient Summerian,” Buffy responded in the same language, trying to scowl, but couldn’t through her laughter.

“At least that answers my question of whether or not you could also speak the languages,” he responded (in English), chuckling. “Maybe my consciousness being in your body created an impression on each other’s essence, leaving behind information we didn’t already know.”

“I wonder if it’s permanent? I hope so…it would be so cool to be able to swear at someone in so many languages,” she grinned.

“Well, I don’t think knowing everything about Gucci fashion will be of any help to me…Ow!”

Daniel rubbed the arm she had socked again, giving her a mock scowl.
