    interesting... the major demon of your story sounds like a creature created by Clive Barker (i don't remember it's name or what the movie was). & in the first chapter you called Elizabeth a courtesan & in a later chapater you had her completly innocent about matters of the flesh. a courtesan knows about sex & all that goes with it... that's what they do for a living. the were educated women & held in high status in some countries, but in the end they sold their bodies. after the church went on a "cleansing spree" many were killed on grounds of witchcraft. the lifestyle of a courtesan became that of a kept woman... a mistress.
    i'm not big on the grusome details of the creatures. but it's your AU & you can do what you want. it's a decent angle to veiw the buffy world though. you keep repeating your discription of the demons of the Order each time the pop up. i don't think that's nessisary, but that's just my opinion. keep writing. i'll keep reading. i'm just a curious little bugger. gotta see how it ends.

    MM.... I love period tales and I'm really getting into reading this one... altho, lol on the first ch1 alone I have to gripe about inconsistencies...those in Medieval times very rarely bathed (Faith would not have stood out), a fact that is not well advertised in most Middle Age Euro pieces lol.. it was considered sinful and unnatural and in parts of Europe, it wasn't unknown or uncommon to walk around bathining no more than twice a year. Sometimes, toilet waste was thrown from windows on the second floor of wealthier houses and apartments, and in days of heavy dueling, there might be body convoys, people would simply let the bodies lie where they lay, rotting through the week until the body cart came and picked them up on it's appointed day. In France, men would use ear wax to give mustaches that 'pointy curved' look.

    Also, I might be wrong on this, but I'm fairly certain that courtesan was NOT a noble women, they dressedwell and had education, but they were high class whores, one of things I thought would make this story real interesting...if this is just in the teaser and not the actual story, you might wanna change it it gives the wrong impression... to be honest I wish Buffy WAS a courtesan in this story, she's portrayed as blandly as ever (aside from Slaying abilities and being nice and lesbian!) unfortunately, and in stories Faith is usually the crazy/confused or the protector/mother in response to Buffy... it would be nice to see Buffy, the courtesan, dealing with her stupid sex life and being strong and protectie of F aith...which I suspect will happen anyway in this story.

    I'm quite excited to read more. Good work!
