It started as a good story... Too bad you rushed the end. Very disappointing

This was... underwhelming. A LONG time coming, but disappointing. I still like the story as a whole, but the end was too abrupt and not all that interesting since the "main cast" were almost irrelevant to it. I guess it's better than just leaving it eternally unfinished?

Love it, thanks :-)

Awesome story wish u would continue and introduce ronan he might have probably had a thing for illyria. With her vicious tendencies. And she might have probably saw him as a new pet.

Nice ending, although wondering if Ilyria was in Fred form or blue hair form when returned and if so, everyone else's reaction!

I really enjoyed the story so far. Hope you consider writing more.

I'm really hoping for an update to this story. It's been fascinating, so much so that I read it in one continuous sitting. Love all the interactions with Illyria, Faith, and Buffy, and I absolutely love how Faith is acknowledged as the last, and CURRENT, actual Slayer instead of a Slayer that just happens to live while Buffy is still alive. It was a great nod, and one I wish the series had observed.

Looking forward to more. Thank you for writing.

Great story I hope you come back to it one day.

Please Mr or Ms CzarZelinsky can you restart awesome Thor's Slayers. In my opinion it is much better than Game of Thrones or Stranger Things 2.

Still really miss this story

Welp...it's been years and years. Okay, only two, but that is plural!

I for one don't feel the Faith/Buffy stuff is too much. They're the main characters, they're in a relationship, and at times that means it's going to be relevant enough to be center stage. Even when not it'll be there as such a thing IS a center point of their existence and thus be a background presence most times.
Plus they live together and, being Slayers, have strong needs. Remember too Buffy is just as driven by the H&H factor but denied it until Spike made her "'fess up" so to speak. Plus they're young, engaging in life-or-death situation regularly (which tend to make one a tad randy), and are still in the "honeymoon" phase. So yeah, they're going to be making like bunnies pretty often and you've shown this while not going overboard at all.
In fact fact, I think you've hit a happy medium there!

I don't find Faith or Buffy kicking tuckus on the Wraith unrealistic. They've had it easy for millennia, have the tactical sense God gave anteaters, and are VERY arrogant to boot (the worse sin a military leader can make: underestimate the enemy). So yeah, for a good long time Faith and Buffy will run roughshod over even good sized groups. Remember, Whedon admitted Buffy and Faith' s abilities were dictated solely by plot needs, not any consistent measures (he's since admitted this to be a mistake) so go with your gut...And remember Faith held her own against Buffy in Sn3 each time (and pulled off a draw once), Buffy carried a 10ft x 1ft steel I-beam like it was a purse, and both routinely shook off injuries and blows that would cripple or kill a human. Except head injuries, those seemed to work most times, hence Faith's coma...which should've killed her, or made her vegetable. I think you're spot on with this. And yeah, add on proper training and a Slayer would be a death-dealing nightmare-inducing force of nature! Watch Faith's fights with Angel on AtS: They show what Faith can do much better than anything on BtVS. Bigger budget and better fight choreographer.

As a former (there are no such things as an ex-) Marine, I'd like out a few mistakes that leap out at someone with military background:
1) Magazine not clip. Hollywood makes this mistake often, but no professional will ever refer to a magazine as a clip...EVER.
2) Marines NEVER EVER refer to themselves as soldiers. EVER. It is in fact an insult to do so. Soldiers work for that other branch called the Army...the posers. And yes, Marine is always capitalized, you've fixed that.
3) Marines do NOT EVER salute indoors nor wear things called "caps." We wear "covers" and only salute when wearing those, which is only outdoors. And we never salute in the field, of course, tends to attract snipers.
4) Airmen are Air Force, Marines Marines, soldiers Army, and sailors Navy. And we are all very particular about being called the right thing...very. Seriously, it can start bar brawls!
5) While Canon, no way in HE'LL would Major Sheppard be given a ground combat command. I kid you not, a ARMY CLERK has more infantry training than an Air Force fighter pilot. The closest they get is an escape-and-evasion course.
6) If Lt. Ford isn't leading a Recon Team or head of base security then he's the Colonel's (Yeup, it'd be capitalized, it's a title as well) XO (second in command) and chief aide. He's the next highest ranked Marine and, unlike Sheppard, trained in ground combat and combat unit leadership (not to mention administration and logistics).
7) You've got Sheppard, so have him do what he's best at: negotiations and flying. Keep him Team 1 and in command of all pilots, especially during combat situations. THAT last is what he's actually trained for and likely deadly at. Funny how rarely we see a designated fighter pilot actually engage in a dogfight or lead a air battle. Note, you also have his personality down, and Air Force fighter jocks are well known for being irreverent discipline cases.
8) No way in he'll is Buffy going out not knowing how to reload a weapon in her own fire team. Plus learning the reloading a belt fed weapon takes all of ten minutes. Seriously, it's pretty easy. If she learned how to fire an AT-4 in a day, she can learn that even quicker.
9) While Canon I know (Hollywood is bumpkis on NCO ranks), Bates or Stackhouse would be Staff Sergeants at least, and likely one of them a Gunnery Sergeant. No Marine platoon deploys without one or the other as the Platoon SNCO and effective XO. Preferably a Gunny (Gunnys and Master Gunnys are the ONLY Marine ranks, period, given a slang term, all other ranks are called by their full rank title then last name). In the Corps, Gunnery Sergeants are second only to God in reverence. Sergeants lead squads and Corporals fire teams, normally. Admittedly Atlantis ain't normal, but the lack of ANY Staff NCO ranks is VERY unrealistic and implausible.
Note other branches tend to use slang or shorthand with NCO ranks, like using "Chief" when referring to someone of any of the various Chief Petty Officer ranks in the Navy.
10) Marines do "mission oriented" orders. In other words, the commander on the unit is given his target, the prefered goal of the mission, his assets and resources; any relevant intel, parameters, limits, timetable, and allowable deviations; and of course the acceptable losses and collateral damage allowed. After that he or she is cut loose to come up with their own plan, top to bottom. "Semper Gumby" is the unofficial Marine motto, "Always Flexible." Results matter more than method. Marines are trained to be aggressive to a FAULT, work with minimal resources (the only branch to run in the black for decades), and made "improvise and overcome" their standard answer to any problem the Book doesn't have an answer (it's more guidelines anyway). We're BIG of ceremony and tradition (almost tribal, really), but when it comes to war, we tend to like to think outside the box, discuss options, and once decided we move hard and fast. And get REALLY close to the enemy!
11) Last, Marines are REALLY aggressive. We're conditioned to be "find, close in, and destroy the enemy through fire and maneuver". Our TOE at the four-man fire team level shows this: Fire Team Leader has a 40mm M203 grenade launcher under his M4 barrel, the SAW gunner has the M249; the A-gunner that spare barrel, all the ammo he can hump, and his M4, and the rifleman has only his M4 but then he's the designated point man, so he travels light. A squad is three fire teams plus a GMP Team with a 7.62mm FN machine gun, and a platoon three such squads...now often with a couple of M2 .50cals or 40mm MK19 belt-fed fully automatic grenade launchers for good measure thanks to your wonderful Hummers. We love grenades... And knife-fight combat ranges, despite being trained to hit man-sized targets at 500m with iron sights.
And we of course carry as much spare ammo as we can carry.
No such thing as too much ammo.
You also carry water, helmet, comms, Kevlar and chest plate (both which Stackhouse should've had on when the Genii showed up), and your pressure bandage. Anything else is optional. 60ib load is normal and you can fight in it. For a Slayer? Easy, very easy.
12) Oh, and a P90 has a 50 round mag, they should get a bit more use out of each than what's shown so far. They've effectively got one and 2/3 over a typical 30 round carbine/rifle mag load. US military are trained to fire short 3-to-5 round bursts with full-size weapons like SMGs, and I'd guess training would be identical with a PDW. Thus ten bursts or so before empty. You also change mags every time you can, so you never run dry suddenly while in the middle of assaulting a new target/position. When you've the time, you take out fresh clips of ammo and your speed loader and top off your mags. Also, you NEVER drop empty mags unless you're desperate or in a defensive position under close assault, you need those things! So kudos on showing them never doing that except under those conditions.

I never carried less than twelve mags stashed around my person, and another 120 rounds of ammo in my butt pack and ruck. Also tended to stash away another bandage, spare soft 2qt canteen, and extra coffee. You can do without food for a couple of days, but water and caffeine...never. Instant coffee taste-wise sucks, but it works.
Also, by 2003 night vision goggles were pretty much ubiquitous for the troops working at night, and standard for SpecOps. For the Atlantis expedition, I'd assume the same as it's a vital edge, the Atlantis Expedition Marines are likely hand-picked elite, and it'd be weird not to have them.
Oh, and Colonel O'Neill is SpecOps so yeah, he's got hand-to-hand training far beyond that of standard infantry troops...who themselves make meat of your typical brawler of Taliban sort. O'Neill routinely holds his own against Jaffa, so yeah...he's good. Carter apparently upped her training for SG1, and is definitely more skilled than the typical grunt while Jackson is no slouch, if less capable.
Teal'c is plain scary, but then he's been at it for decades longer than any human could be outside of myth. I don't see Faith beating him so easily after a few matches, after that it'd go back and forth as both learned and improved until Faith, as her power grew, simply outclassed him too far physically. He'd never be easy though, and most other Jaffa easier meat as they're hidebound, arrogant, and often very sexist.
So agree on Teal'c getting pasted first time around. Not so much later on.
Same with Teyla on the above.

The Cracker!

Well, it's been almost a year so I hope you find time to finish this story eventually. I have enjoyed reading it, especially since it highlights Faith and Illiria. Thanks!

Hey, just found this story and I've really enjoyed it. I know it's been a bit since an update, and I hope you'll consider finishing it up! No pressure though, I know life/muse/all kinds of things can get in the way, and let's be honest, people who demand free entertainment from others are butts. And not good butts, either.

I'm in desperate need of more to read. Please tell me you've been hard at work?! Thanks for providing me with some desperately needed reading material during my downtime.

First time through.

I thought I would like this particular cross over but I'm finding myself less and less enthusiastic to read more. I guess it might not help that I never really got into the lore of the stargate series. I enjoyed the show enough to watch reruns but nothing really stood out about it to me. I thought this story might be different but I just can't seem to get into it. I've got a few more stories to check out before I give up on the cross.

Besides my lack of interest this story is rather solid for a Faith centric piece. I never really got into her character either so that might have been another mark against this story. But aside from no love for Faith the story is solid. You set up a great idea in slayers being brought to the notice of the SGC. You have even integrated the Buffy lore into it, even if it is in AN's and not in the story for the most part. I liked the Kris as an anti Wraith weapon. It would interesting if Illirya was able to make more of them but keeping it just for Faith is also just as good. And you don't have to think of a reason for the Old One to be generous. I enjoyed the Buffy and Faith hook up. It seem to progress naturally and no weird hand waving to the effect that they hooked up in secret while still in school and never told anyone. You didn't shy away from the history and that deserves props, and doing it believably? even more so. I didn't really like how slayers can just own Jaffa and Wraith in a fight. Especially how easily you're showing them do it. I could get behind the first ass beating of Teal'c received when Faith first came in. He was completely unprepared, but Wraith are tanking bullets and still coming. Yes you've made it clear that Faith and Buffy are going for head shots when possible. But in a fist fight it should be somewhat even. I can under stand Illirya curb stomping them but it stretches the realms of believability when Buffy and Faith can struggle against a vampire from time to time. Yes you've given them magical weapons to help in the curb stompage. But then you have Faith utterly decimate the wraith in the valley with her bare hands like he is some chump human. Yeah his bones broke and he tanked the damage before his neck was broken but it was still something that made me tune out and just skim until it was over.

Well personal gripes aside. You have written a decent story. It seem it wont be finish but it was funish to read while it was still going. Thanks for sharing it with us.
