Of All the Alleys in All the World by Ladyoneill

I seem to be prefacing every post with an apology, but my home 'net was out yesterday, so hopefully no-one will mind too much that my crack van collision rec is a day late.

Fandom: DC COMICS/Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: none
Length: 1796
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ladyoneill
Author Website: www.meandering-muse.net
Why this must be read:

If you're a Roy Harper fan, you've got to see how he deals with this wisecracking girl that fell out of a portal and promptly saved his life--and since when does he need saving, anyway?

If you're a fan of Buffy, you've got to see how she deals with being dropped into the middle of the DCU, all quick quips and curiosity and great one-liners as she deals with one of the heroes in her own, inimitable fashion.

Ladyoneill has been writing for both fandoms for forever, and this was the fic that I first thought of months ago when I volunteered to drive the 'van. She uses the Buffyverse style and pacing and flow elegantly and deftly to do a fic that is pretty much the antithesis of the standard 'two divergent heroes meet and promptly mistake each other for the bad guys' that is such a usual staple of the genre, which is yet another reason it really had to be read, while still being very much true to the DCU.

So come have a little fun with Of All the Alleys in All the World
