revdorothyl at 02:36pm on 12/01/2010 under fanfic, fanfic recommendation, favorite sf reading, lois mcmaster bujoldI just finished reading the long-awaited final chapters of VogonGuard's BtVS/Miles Vorkosigan crossover story, The Vor Slayer over on Twisting the Hellmouth, and I am so big with the Ivan-love right now!
There are plenty of typos in the story (especially in the final five chapters, all of which were posted within the first week of this new year), but I enjoyed the resolution so much (not to mention the many Miles-isms along the way) that I'm in no mood to quibble.
If you're a fan of Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series, starting with Shards of Honor (and yes, Countess Cordelia is still very much alive and kicking in this story, as are a middle-aged Miles and his cousin Ivan Vorpatril) as well as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", I'd strongly recommend checking out this story, in which Miles' daughter Helen is called as a Slayer in Barrayar's hour of need (when it doesn't hurt to have the military might of Aunt Elli Quinn's Dendarii on speed-dial, just in case).
The story is actually an authorized sequel to another author's one-shot, DonSample's With a Star, in which Miles and Ekaterin visit the Sunnydale Lagoon on Earth and Miles starts to wonder about the names on a memorial obelisk. That one's definitely worth a look-see, even if you're not sure you're up for 15 chapters worth of BtVS/Vorkosigan crossover with The Vor Slayer right now.
