Author's Summary: There's a new monster in Sunnydale. Fortunately help is at hand, but will it be enough? [Buffy/Torchwood crossover]
Characters/Pairings: Jack, Buffy, Giles, Willow, Tara, Anya, Xander, Spike
Warnings: None

Recced because: This is my personal favorite Buffy/Torchwood crossover fic. The Scoobies' reactions to Jack are just priceless, all the voices are spot-on, and there's one scene in the last chapter that made me tear up a little, and still emotionally affects me every time I read it. Plus, there's a cameo from a Classic Who villain.

I've only had chance to read the first chapter so far - but you're right, the characterisation is wonderful. Thanks for the rec, because I almost never go rooting around in the TW section on Teaspoon to find gems like this. :-)

Thanks so much for this rec! I absolutely adored it. The voices were so perfect, and there's plenty of emotion to go along with the banter. ("Never doubted him, never will" made me squee.) This story is now personal canon.

That is exactly the part that tugged my heartstrings. It was so sweet, especially interposed with all the things Buffy believes in.
