Why This Must Be Read: Crossovers with Buffy the Vampire Slayer are pretty common, but the ones crossing Angel the Series are a bit more rare. This one utilizes Illyria very well to give us an interesting glimpse into the psyche of John Sheppard. The story is also humorous, in a dark and somewhat ironic way. As usual, I'm not doing this story justice here. The snippet of fic below doesn't really spoil it, but it does a much better job of stating exactly why this story is an interesting read.

Snippet of fic:

“John,” Teyla turned to the Colonel, seeking his opinion, only to find him frozen, staring at blue woman in disbelieving, slack-jawed shock. Concerned, Teyla laid a hand on his shoulder. “John, are you alright?”

“I thought it was only a dream,” he muttered, “a really freaky dream.”

“What was a dream?” Teyla asked.

“The bit of post traumatic stress trashing the Wraith,” he answered, shaking his head in an attempt to gather his scattered thoughts. He glanced toward his friend. “Check on Rodney,” he ordered.

“But John…”

“Rodney, now.” Teyla moved off to obey as John watched as the woman made short work of Wraith who were now trying to flee from her deadly fury. “Well,” he muttered to himself, “That explains what happened to the dragon.”
