Cool story. Really great work. Though, of you’re open to suggestions, I think it would be cool to show a flashforward of Munch learning about Buffy’s death (then, subsequent resurrection) (and the ... unpleasant fates of each and every one of the Scoobies...) and the fall of Sunnydale. The way you’ve portrayed the characters is really intriguing, and you capture the kids at the height of their youthful glory. Going by the Giles/Munch talk at the airport, I just wonder what Munch would think when he learns that none of them make it out unscathed, and, only half of them without dying...

Great story, Sloane Ranger. Munch was a great choice as the double agent. As the more intellectual of the group and an amateur conspiracy buff. He would be most likely to be sympathetic with Buffy and the Scoobies mission. Good use of all the characters all were kept true to their respective shows. Sincerely P.S.

This is a really interesting start. I love how the first victim (or at least the first found) is a Sunnydale student. It's a horrible irony: a Sunnydale student survives into high school, then gets killed (possibly by a demon) on the other side of the country. Also, I like how you used Giles' frankly suspicious change of jobs, from a curator of The British Museum to a small California high school, as a clear case of scandal.

Goanna is incorrect. It is spelled gonna. When in doubt, use 'going to'.

Also, a M.E. wouldn't use trunk. They'd use torso.

Bold choice timing-wise, I’ll give you that for nothing.

My knowledge of SVU is limited, but those characters would always go into the kind of dark situation faced here with knowledge of what to expect even if the supernatural aspects would be a twist; pitting the Scoobies against this kind of threat while they’re still ‘innocent’- I’ve always felt that their struggles against Angelus were a wake-up-call regarding how personally evil can strike them, given that they fought a foe who really knew how they worked and who actually killed one of the gang, even if Jenny was a more ‘indirect’ member- is a particularly effective touch, to say nothing of the difficulty involved in them dealing with competent law enforcement officers.

The subsequent investigation is very well-handled, as the Scoobies form an uncertain ‘alliance’ with Munch out of necessity due to him being the only cop actually able to accept what he sees- even if Much has some initial doubts about their treatment of vampires due to his inability to comprehend the importance of the soul to the human essence-, to say nothing of Munch’s own difficulty in helping the ‘official’ investigation without revealing the source of his knowledge to the others.

Later events when the villain set out to acquire new sacrifices using larger-scale methods perfectly reflected the escalation of the crisis as the demons step up their attack, and while I would have maybe had Jenny casting the spell during the sewer confrontation rather than Willow- keep in mind that Willow only started spell-casting after she restored Angel’s soul-, in general the concluding fight was very well-written, and the aftermath as the Scoobies explained their side to the SVU team all seemed to fit together very well.

All in all, apart from the absence of Angel- which is mainly because he’s my favourite character, and given the obvious difficulties they would have faced in getting him to New York with the rest without exposing him to sunlight his absence makes sense-, an excellent bit of work; any chance of a sequel?

I quite liked this story. I'm a fan of Buffy vs. some sort of crime investigation unit, but only if it's done properly with a reasonable amount of realism (according to cannon). I was a bit disappointed in how Munch got pulled in, but in the end I enjoyed your resolution of the story. Great work!

You should do a sequel. After all we need to know what happens when big man Stabler is faced with the strength of a lil blond california girl! lol I think Benson and Stabler should find out the truth of what's out there! lol

Fantastic story! Everyone's very in character, the plot line is satisfying, well laid out, and unique, and it's well-written. Great job!

Awesome story, I've never watched Buffy but you made it really easy to understand. Now I want to see that show.

Oh my actual god! Just 3 I'm 3 chapters in and I can safely say this is one of my favourite FFs ever! I can NOT wait to read more. Thanks for writing this amazing story :)

Americanisms 101: The word cock would never be used outside of a term for a male chicken, a penis, or as an insult. Capt. Cragan would call it a screw-up not a cock-up.

Just discovered this and I LOVED it! Great job with your characterizations. I like the believable way you brought Munch into the Scoobies' world. :)

Hi, I really liked this crossover, even though I usually prefer those set post-season 7. Do you intend to write a sequel? And have you ever thought of posting the story to Twisting The Hellmouth ( ), the Buffy Crossover Archive?

Thank you for having written this. I love this story. It was a remarkable piece of work. Though I do hope that you do an additional epilogue, say... post Chosen. It would be awesome for Benson and Stabler to randomly run into Buffy while she's investigating something or finding a potential/slayer. (Or even just having lunch with Munch as a potential recruitment pitch.) You don't even really need anything to happen. I just think it would be hilarious how confused Stabler would get if Buffy was running around sporting a federal badge (as a cover, you know, saying she worked for Homeland Security or something). Then maybe calling Giles or Willow to update them.

But anyway, I have loved the story and thanks again for writing it.

While I'm happy that things worked out for the Sunnydale side, I sympathize with the detectives. In a way, it's kinda refreshing that they didn't all become bestest of friends. Good work. (You may want to mark the story complete under story details.)
