Equally Cursed and Blessed

Been waiting long?

It's a B/A crossover, combining all our very old friends, and a few new ones created by me. This is looking like it's gonna be pretty damned long, as my page of notes and research and stuff is now longer than most of the chapters in the story. I have only posted chapters One through eight, and the sort of prologue, which is part of the story but not crucial to it. Not all of these could stand on their own, so please read them in order.

I've also included a section which houses the fragments of fic that either are unnecessary or interrupted the flow of the story, or both; and there is a list of source material for y'all to check out. I hope you like this, guys.

And as always, feedback is encouraged and greatly appreciated.

All of the characters mentioned herien are the property of the WB, Mutant Enemy, Joss, Lazy Dave, and various very talented other indiviuals to whom I owe much respect.

I'm giving this whole thing a rating of R (adult themes and situations) -- if you're under 18, feel free to bail.
Stop babbling you long winded psycho and get me to Chapter One.

The funny part is, I'm not really a religious person at all. Writing a story about the apocalypse has forced me to go through all sorts of books and films that I own, but have never finished. I heartily recommend all of these books and movies for your personal viewing, with the exception of that edition of the Bible which lacks the poetry of a King James version.

Both of my roommates nearly fainted when they got up one morning, and I was sitting at the computer with a Bible in one hand, and a book that said Witchcraft in the other. I didn't see why they were laughing until I stopped typing and actually looked at what I was cross-referencing.

Yeah, I'm scary. But at least you don't have to live with me.
