Whew! Am I glad that's finally over!

Great job, Shayne! Lois saved Clark so he could save the day. And you handled Lois's minor wound even better than I was sure you would. Interesting to me, a non-Buffy-literate, that you characterized the vampires as being almost pure rage. That would certainly have a disquieting effect on any attempt by them to organize like Angelica wanted them to.

And Buffy's mock sadness because the fight was over was almost funny! It was certainly a relief at that point. I only hope she doesn't figure out how to reload those flamethrowers. Buffy and a ready source of combustion can't be a good idea.

You're going to have to make the epilogue a long one, though, because Clark will have some serious issues to deal with. I can't see him just blowing off all the things Angelica made him do while he was under her thumb. Lois is going to have to provide some top-flight counseling for him.

And it looks as if she's got a handle on her new life, too. If you want to take Marcus's suggestion and give us some more "slayer-Lois" adventures - even ones that are Lois going solo - I won't complain.

This is definitely the best crossover I've read in a long time. I know I'm repeating myself, but here goes - Great job, Shayne! Excellent story. Loved every nail-biting hair-pulling minute of it.
