Oh nice. :D

I don't watch White Collar, but your Buffy is exactly how I imagine her to be, post-series.

[jedibuttercup]

:) Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story, despite not knowing the other canon. I really prefer my Buffy more mature and settled than the comics series went with her post-show.

Love it. Slightly baffled at first. I thought they were going out to dinner, how'd they end up over at Peter's? But it's still awesome. Love your crosovers!

[jedibuttercup]

I thought "Burke dining room" at the top covered it? :) Glad you enjoyed the story! Some fandoms take more effort to cross than others, but it's always fun when it works out well.

[xlade]

Ah. Oops. Didn't read the note about it not being connected to the others. My fault. Still love it. You get me watching shows and movies I've never even heard of with these things!

It's nice to see Peter and Elizabeth in the know about something and Neal floundering a bit. This capture the prompt nicely and gave me happy thoughts of Neal attempting to sweet talk Buffy into ruling the world with him. ;)

The nod to Dawn's abilities and it always being about the blood were nice additions. Those little notes make the story all the more believable.

Yay, glad you enjoyed the story! :) I had to really think on this awhile to come up with a new way to cross the 'verses and still have it from Elisabeth's POV; the blood thing just fell right into place. I always have fun fleshing out the worlds a little when I do these, to make them as plausible as possible.

Glad you enjoyed it; this was a fun conversation to write.

The vamp is an OC; it took me awhile to come up with an angle that would lead to the WC team stumbling into the supernatural because of their jobs rather than just because reasons. :) And I was sort of thinking of Willow; not just the end of Season 6, but the glimpses Buffy saw of future-Willow in the Season 8 comics. (One of the many reasons I largely deny S8+ as canon.)

Wonderful. I would love to see more stories in this verse because I would like to find out if Neal has run into the supernatural before; I'ld like to find out more about Elizabeth and I really like the idea of Neal and Buffy teaming up. Thanks.

I end up writing lots of things for these prompt collections that I never would have thought up on my own, but that I have fun turning into longer universes later. This might just be one of them; these characters are a fun combination to write. :)

Glad you enjoyed the story!
