Reactions and Review

This is an interesting take on what it means to be a vampire and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The Xander/Angel relationship is sweet, although I don't think the characterisation is strictly canonical. This story is rather light-hearted, in my view, despite the angsty subject matter and I enjoyed it very much. [1]

Rimau’s two-part series, No Forces of Darkness, first introduced me to the idea of slashing the men of BtVS. Cycles of Change and its sequel Lab Rat have Xander/Angel and vampire!Xander. What’s not to like?[2]
