A:TS/1602 FIC: Ge bene Hinnom - Part 1

Sep 16, 2006 20:42

This has been cluttering up my harddrive for some time, and I want to get it out there before it drives me nuts. It's the first part of the 1602/A:TS crossover I owe selenak. It's unbetaed as yet, so comments and corrections are welcome. The whole story is likely to come to about 15 parts, I think, and is set in a mish-mash of the 1602 and A:TS worlds - ( Read more... )

Ohhhhhhhhh. That's genius, that is. It never occured to me how Slayers would fit in the 1602-verse: The distinction between "Blessed" and "Witchbreed" - and yet trade goods both - so chilling, and makes sense in both 'verses.

I think we should consider ourselves to be engaged now.

Mwahahahaha! Deal. (But I get to choose the bridesmaids' dresses)

Fine. As long as I get to choose the place.

oh, we're gonna end up at one of them scarily elegant places, aren't we? why can't get hitched at McD's like any other cybercouple?

Sorry to come to this so awfully late--the long-lasting crud I had made me pretty sure that my brain wasn't working well enough for extensive feedback. (Which may very well still be the case...hee!)

Anyway: I loved this. I love the way the 1602 and Slayer mythologies are being twined together, and that "Blessed" and "Witchbreed" are being seen (accurately?) as two names for the same thing. (Is this version of Scott Summers going to be an ancestor of Buffy?)In that vein (hah!) I am quite pleased that the Master is the one harrowing the Virginia colony.

I am particularly fond of your emphasis on social class, who has to be polite to whom, the maid's aghastness at having insulted her "better" after she blurts out that the child is afraid. That's always a fascinating perspective, and not one we got to see a lot of in the Buffyverse after they moved past the rigid social divides of high school.

Some of my favorite (mostly chilling) lines:

Yay!! *dances* I am so glad. :)

(Is this version of Scott Summers going to be an ancestor of Buffy?)*taps nose* I'd say that it will be revealed in the narrative, but I'd blatantly forget to add that in - the original plans called for Scott to move to the New World at Jarvier's request (at some point after 1602), and live for long enough to sire a child before meeting his untimely death at the Master's hands. That whole plotline's been taken out, as the fate of the two boys traded ultimately struck me as being quite separate from what was going on at the Roanoke and Lucille's ultimate fate (and I'm writing ( ... )
