My Immortal: Between Canons: Not Fade Away.
I bring you new fic! Specifically, the first of two STANDALONE ‘Fill-in-the-Blank’ stories (one short, one long) for My Immortal. The purpose of the stories is to tie together major events in the Who- and Buffy-verses, ironing out inconsistencies, and - as I said - you need no knowledge of (or interest in) 'My Immortal' to read them

just read this and, despite not being a fan of either show, I was really impressed with the way you linked twoof the events I 'did' like about them, in a wonderfully believeable way; without losing the integrity of the originals, and gave Illyria the kind of Human face, which doesn't require her to become an imitation of Fred.
Really well done.
Still under Willow & Tara's spell,

In which case I'm exceedingly grateful that you took a chance! :)

Goodness, thank you! One of my favourite things in the world is to get things to fit together, and make *more* sense. (Also known as fanwanking, of course. *g*) And I'm always thrilled when it works for others too!

I love writing Illyria because she's so very much Not Human, and yet at the same time she is influenced by people and events, and it changes her.
Thank you again for your lovely comment, and Willow and Tara's spell is indeed strong! :)

I took a chance because I have been an afficionado of your meta, the first of which, I think, was a few S4 thoughts. There I liked the even-handedness of your comments about Riley. I liked him, but he never worked for me, for me that whole arc buffy/riley/adam was the only real weakness about S4, which is my favourite, for obvious reasons :-), but also because it contains so many individually classic buffy stories.
I have to say that the biggest reason for me not being a fan of AtS, was it's lack of female-centredness, but also in the way they totally wasted a whole host of good Cordelia/CC plotline possibilities.
I love DB so much better, as well, now that he's allowed to show off his sense of humour.
As DW, it's ironic that I stopped watching the revamped show, just one story after, possibly one of the greatest DW story of all time, 'The Girl in the Fireplace'.
Still under Willow & Tara's spell,

Oh that makes me exceedingly happy! (A lot of my fic is meta in disguise btw. *g*) I'm very much anti-bashing, and like to look at things objectively, and - if at all possible - positively. Riley never did much for me, but he was a big part of Buffy's life, and as such deserved to be taken seriously.

Oh I adore S4, even though the Initiative story was rather weak.

What a wonderful read, and an inspired idea! The descriptions here are just gorgeous, and you write a perfect Illyria.

:D I've been wanting to share for ages - and the next part is going rather well by now!

*beams* I've been feeling very clever. *g*

Thank you so much! And really, Illyria kinda writes herself... no one else is allowed!

Wonderful way to use Illyria to great effect here.

Thank you! :) Once I'd thought of it, it struck me as the most logical thing in the world, since the Time War must have impacted at a specific time.

I think she might have used me! ;)

Thank you!
And so right to focus on Illyria's character as the conduit to bring the two shows together.
It wouldn't work without her! Not only can she sense it, she can also absorb what it means, and be purely objective, not horrified.

Thank you! :)
As far as I understand, in your universe the battle in NFA happened at the same time as the last great Time War - right?
More or less... The Time War(s) were fought out of time, but obviously the ending (the destruction of Gallifrey etc) and the consequences (the sealing of the walls between dimensions) must have impacted in 'real time', as it were, and what better time than the NFA battle?
