“You could have built that thing more inconspicuous, you know.”
“What?” he replied, glancing behind them to where the Awesome was parked more than a little ostentatiously. “Like a police box, you reckon?” There was some joke she wasn’t getting; after a few seconds of her staring he rolled his eyes.
Hee! No trouble believing that Buffy wouldn't get the Tardis reference; I assume the comics are still set about a year after Chosen?
Very interesting part two. I enjoyed the heck out of it, though I'm still not totally clear on exactly what's happened/ happening. Still, neat conclusion. And Angel should be more focused on Connor that on Buffy; so well done.
And Ethan Rayne makes everything more fun, doesn't he?
Thank you! I have no idea when the comics are supposed to be set, though in my head they're actually in about 2006 - Buffy just doesn't watch enough TV. :D
I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if it didn't make a lot of sense. I had my fail of being unable to find a decent moment for people to naturally sit down and hash out what actually had gone on. Angel needs to get his breath back, for a start! Ethan is definitely the best though (and he isn't dead!!).
I really loved this version of what caused Twilight for lots of reasons - one being that it accepts Angel's culpability (which I'm sure the comic is going to deny in a way that's not convincing at all) while making his motives for doing what he did understandable and worhty of compassion.
Also, you brought back Ethan! Yay!
Enjoyed this enormously and the character voices were great. You do a wonderful Illyria.
Poor Angel indeed - he couldn't really be in anything but a very bad place with everything he's done as Twilight, so I'm afraid I was quite mean to him. :(
But thank you!! I'm so so glad you enjoyed it (and appreciated Ethan - I loved making him not dead). I wanted everything to come out in a way that I could accept it, even if that involved some quite cracky convolutions. (<3 about Illyria - I wasn't entirely sure I gave her enough to do!)
Oh - I did like the Alice-in-Wonderland-ness of it all; especially the voyage in the SS Awesome and the vampire trips up Kilimanjaro - even though I have no idea about the comics at all...
Well, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, neither of those bits were nabbed from the comic! (Maybe the Alice in Wonderland as a themette...) Thanks very much! :)
What a lovely thing to say! (I was a bit sad, actually, that I couldn't foreground Bilali and his enterprises a bit more - he's a sneaky reoccurring OC of mine and it would be nice to tell more of his story.)
But of course Ethan is alive again! It could be no other way. ;) Thank you!
I can't imagine the comics will end like this either, but the moment you bring Spike into any sort of madness my brain has a vested interest in working out a way for it to make sense. (Especially if it involves a big steampunk ship!) Illyria and Connor were utter bonuses!

At least your explanation makes sense so kudos.

Generally I have no hope the comics end this satisfactory. Alas! But thank you for taking it there.
I loves imperious Illyria and impetuous Connor and Spike having all the people skills in the family. ;)
