2009-08-07 . chapter 29
Hi! I've just read your awesome fanfic. Allow me to say, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for finishing this story. (It is a terrible thing when stories linger incomplete; I've recently had the misfortune of reading several IY fanfics that will likely never reach resolution, so it makes me appreciate fully-executed stories a thousand times more!)

Also? I love how believable this crossover is. The dynamic between characters, especially Buffy and Inuyasha, is perfect. And I am mighty glad that the language charm enabling Buffy to speak Japanese didn't extend to fluency in the written language or cultural norms. It's nice when Buffy experiences those fish-out-of-water moments, because she's so used to having control (or, at least, pretending she does).

That was another aspect I appreciated: Buffy's abilities weren't overblown. Sure, she was still handy during the fights, but she wasn't the Savior of the Sengoku Jidai. (Incidentally, I love that Sango is identified as the Slayer of her generation!) Heck, I could almost see this as an interlude occurring within the framework of the canon, because it doesn't alter the outcome of the storyline.

Of course, me being the IK 'shipper that I am, my absolute favorite moments dealt with the miko and her hanyou progressing their relationship. Sweet stuff there.

Anyway, just wanted to express my pleasure over this wonderful literary jaunt. I think I'm going to read your IY/FMA crossover, too; I'm not that familiar with Fullmetal Alchemist, but your prose makes me think it's worth a go. :)

wow! a crossover rarity: a plausible premise for bringing the two universes together and excellent characterization. you really have a knack for striking the distinct tones of the buffy and inuyasha series and blending them together. for example, surprisingly, the sexual maturity of b.t.v.s. and the why-won't-they-kiss-already innocence of i.y. played off each other in a convincing way that stayed true to both series.

oh, and i liked that you didn't take inuyasha's edge off - love and friends may be mellowing him out, but he's still the asshole we know and love. awesome.

That was awesome. Everyone's characterization was great, the action was great, and you didn't depower or overpower anyone from either show. The plot was really well-done too, as was the tension.

Hey, I was just trolling this wonderful world that is fanfiction, found this one, and read it all in one go! I loved it! Especially since you didn't have Buffy come in and kick ass and save the day or something...you kept it realistic...well, as realistic as you can get with time-traveling, demon killing super girls anyway...:D

This was a really interesting story. I liked how the focus was spread evenly between Buffy and Inu-tachi. I liked how the fighting was in both times, and that Inu-tachi finally got to see Kagome's time. I liked how some things were resolved - Buffy's quest for the Portal Key, Inuyasha and Kagome's feelings for each other - while still leaving some things open - Kouga, for one thing, and Naraku, of course.

LOVE this fic! Good crossovers are REALLY rare, and this is an excellent one. YOu, amazingly enough, kept both series very true to themselves while melding them in an interesting way.

well that was a lot of fun. I haven't seen the second Inuyasha movie, but it sounds good, and I've only seen one op of Buffy (the Halloween one) and read a few fanfics, but I didn't have any trouble with your story, even if I didn't get all Buffy's references. Great job putting the two universes together.

< He caught her staring at his bare chest, and blushed, which was really sort of cute and appealing in a guy, even a demon guy. >

I think they'd make a good couple :P

I really liked this story a lot. You did a great job handling the crossover elements and keeping everything under control. Your pacing and characterization were also very good and it was a very enjoyable read. I also have to compliment you on the last chapters. The way that you handled the emotional aspect had the potential to make the story drag, but it didn't, and it made for a very satisfying ending.

This story is really fantastic! Your writing is so good, especially with regards to characterization and plot momentum. This was my favourite part of this chapter (I just love imagining Sango suddenly appearing and hissing advice to poor befuddled Buffy):

"Smack him, now," hissed the slender, pretty girl standing behind him. "Don't let him get fresh with you!"

My only problem is there is a lack of consistency, such as what happened to the headband/talisman? Did it sink into her forehead or can everyone see it? If so, why was Kagome able to touch her bare forehead? This seems like it could be easily fixed with good editing or beta-ing, and it doesn't really bother me so much. They're just bumps in the road of your story that could use a smoothing out.

I know you've finished this story, but I thought it would be helpful for future reference.

Also, this really is the best crossover I've ever read. You're not trying to make every single Buffy character appear and everyone is interacting in-character. This is wonderful writing and I hope you continue, even if it's not just fanfiction.

I'll admit when I first saw that it was a BuffyInu crossover I kinda stared crosseyed XD However, you proved me MASSIVELY wrong. The way you worked the fic was perfect, and I was amazed how well you managed to switch from "Buffy speech/feel" to "Inu speech/feel" and how you could keep them all in character. You did the perfect amount of crossover too as well as picking up all teh loose ends and possible "would that really be plausible?" honestly I was massively impressed.

Not to mention it made me realize the way deamons alot of times just go "POF" after and arrow and what not was alot like the "Ashypoof" of Buffy ^^;;

Loved the fic ^^ Excellent job

This seems quite popular. I keep seeing it all over the internet. And I can't really be surprised, because this is one of the best crossovers I've ever read. I love how you made Sango a slayer. And it was not only funny, but it was also mature at times. Words can't describe how great this is. So I'll just say good job! X3

A nice story. And probably a pretty realistic versio of what whould happen if the two worlds did collide. It was a nice read, thanks for writting it.

That? Awesome. Totally made of awesome. I'm not as familiar with the Inuyasha lot as I'd like to be, but your characterisation of Buffy seemed spot on.

OMG! what a great idea for a cross over, demons exist in both realities so why couldn't Buffy and Kagome? I am really looking forward to reading this in it's entirety.
