I am no longer a virgin.

My first Buffy/HP crossover fic! And by you, darling, who did this so well that I am just gagging for more. And obviously, I know nothing of the backgrounds of these two, their past encounters. More reading, more reading... Add it to the list.

BOTH Giles and Severus were perfect, awesome in every detail. I swear, I cannot say which I loved more, and for me, a diehard SS girl, well, that's saying quite a lot. I love the time that this takes place in, the merging of the worlds... God, can you tell how excited I am to have discovered this? It's like another door to another universe just opened up!

Squeeeee!!!!!!!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed this, and I'm honored to be the one to take your BtVS/HP virginity. *g* (And floored that you can't say which you loved more. That's such the huge compliment! And excited that you're excited!)

There's all kinds of fabulous writing in this, from the silence the third person in the room, to Giles's heart being ripped out of his chest and poured back in through his nose. And yeah, sequel to one of my favorite stories from last year! And again, a great way to have two different worlds of magic side by side.

A completely satisfying read, and a great hook for more sequels (she said, with hope in her voice). Thanks for posting this!

Thanks so much! I'm very glad that you enjoyed it. (And if they'll cooperate, I'd love for there to be more, too, so it's nice to hear that you would as well.)

And now I'm reminded of why I loved writing Giles. (Ducks and hides in case alwaysjbj is looking.) You really bring out the best in both the main characters.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this, particularly that you thought I brought out the best in them.

[alwaysjbj]

I saw that. lol

[talesofsnape]

Hee! It really doesn't matter any more, though, does it?

Giles and Severus. I can't wait to see how this turns out. (but I will) Great work.

[firefly124]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome! I love this as a sequel to MM. They're both perfectly in character, and I particularly like the detail about the Cauldron as a magical border helping Giles recover. I'm such a sucker for post-Grave fics as well. Well done!

[firefly124]

Thanks! I'm so glad you like it and feel that they're in character. (You? A sucker for post-Grave fics? I hadn't noticed. *g*)
