This is a great AU. I like how the characters are all a little changed yet still stay true to their roots and potential. I also love that while it seems to be a human AU at first glance, it really isn't one as the supernatural is still the focus of our guys, and Spike is still something a little more than simply normal good.
I love Spike's character, especially how he's so smart and has multiple degrees, and the fact that he's amazing in the field is cool too. I'm glad that Liam finally got his head out of his dad's arse and hooked up with William. Their background together is interesting, and the fact that they were step-brothers makes a twist that I haven't seen before.
I love the other Hunter characters, they all fit together real well to make a cool team. I like how you have the Buffy and Angel characters all mixed up together, and I like how Gunn is Spike's friend first (the fact that they were once lovers also makes for interesting reactions).
I was surprised to see Warren Meers having such a nice role here though, as he is always cast in the role of a villain elsewhere. I think that character, as written so far, could have easily been Andrew or Jonathan or such, so I am waiting to see if there will be some character change later that makes him being Warren so critical.
I was sad to learn that Xander was dead, though him and Spike being together for years before that was awesome, and I would love to learn more about their relationship (Liam does seem to be VERY jealous there and the potential for some conflict is huge). Also awesome, is the fact that Xander was a Hunter. He must have become really good in order to be the one assigned to the slayer.
I wonder if you will write more pregnant dogy Buffy, like her finding out about how things really are/were with Xander, Willow and such. And will we see how she deals with being 'free' now? She will probably want Liam, or maybe Riley, to settle down with her, and I wonder how she will react to learning that he's with Spike (and her backup man Riley wants to be). Of course, she could now turn into a sweet, mature lady, but I really doubt it.
I like the introduction of The Initiative as one of the major bad elements in the series. Setting them up as a sort of a government agency gone rogue is great, and there is potential for some great kidnapped fic, spy fic, or even infiltrate and destroy mission fics. Plus, it gives the guys an excuse to travel to other countries and show off their skills.
I look forward to learning more about Riley and his situation, and just how Spike and the team are going to use him to their advantage. I am also interested in learning more about Penn and his past interactions with Spike.
Can't wait for more
