Why this must be read:

A BtVS/AtS crossover may not be that radical, but seeing Warren, who is solely associated with Sunnydale and BtVS, working with Knox in Wolfram and Hart makes this an excellent crossover fic. I find when I read it that I have a very distinct sense of a character in an environment alien to him yet familiar to me, and that feeling of disjointedness works very well in this fic, where Warren is so alone and desperate. Warren has never been to Sunnydale, but his girlfriend Katrina has, and it has changed her. What happened Katrina? How can Warren bring her back? How does Knox help?

VT's Warren is perfectly in character, but this is no surprise. What is new in this fic is her excellent Knox. Acting canonically in a fanfic situation, VT's Knox is entirely true to form. She's also got Illyria spot-on. And really, VT has made Katrina her own.

"This will help her, right?" Warren's voice was steady without a trace of the doubts he felt. They'd discussed the plan a thousand times before. There was no room left for uncertainties now, no way to change what had been set in motion.

Placing his hand on Warren's shoulder, Knox leaned in close. "You told me yourself that she's just a shell of who she was. Think of her beauty, her grace. She was born to be raised up in this way. What better way to fill her emptiness than with the power of a God? It'll be perfect."
