This one's really hard for me to rate because I thought it was a really good story, but that it was barely a BtVS/Ats fanfic at all. It sorta reminded me of the X-Men story arc where they went to Genosha, a country where mutants were enslaved and used as slave labor.

There were characters that had the names of Jossverse characters, but most of them didn't seem like the same people and their histories and motivations had changed so radically that it was disorienting. I love AU stories, but in this one I had a hard time finding a reference point.

I hesitate to give it too low a score because I think it's really well written with compelling characters (which seemed like original characters to me, with the exception of Angel). I would encourage the author to flesh it out a bit, change the names, and try to publish it as an original novel.

One other thing I thought was interesting: I found Angel to be an amalgam of Angel & Spike. In other words, he had Angel's personality, but Spike's circumstance (being considered "beneath Buffy"). Since I love both of those characters, I really could relate to him.
