    Part 2 of the Apes saga

     

    With the help of friendly apes Galen and Zana, shipwrecked astronauts Alan Virdon and Pete Burke have finally escaped their nemesis General Urko. Now more determined than ever to warn ANSA of mankind’s impending downfall, they travel into the heart of the Forbidden Zone, where the mythical White City may have preserved ancient human technology.

    Meanwhile, Galen and Zana try to build a new life in exile for themselves as veterinarian 'Doctor Kova' and his wife Mila. But both old and new enemies are out to destroy them.

  2. Summary

    Suited for fandom-blind reading

    Astronauts Alan Virdon and Pete Burke wanted to pave the way for mankind’s trek to the stars. Instead, they crash on a strange planet where apes are the masters, and humans are slaves... or even less.

    Their only hope is to find a civilisation on this pre-industrial world that is sophisticated enough to give them the means to send a signal for help back home - and to escape their hunters long enough to be found by ANSA.

    Summary

    He was the only person who ever left her whose abandonment she'd truly earned, and he was the only one who kept coming back.

    Events went differently in Season 6, after "Gone", and Buffy and her friends try to get back to what passes for normal on the Hellmouth. But wouldn't you know, as soon as they beat back one interdimensional baddie, the portents of yet another "dark power rising" start to appear. Unfortunately, Willow has seen that this time the demon threat will succeed in wiping Sunnydale off the map — especially if it can recruit the Slayer of Slayers to its side — and that's the best case scenario. This permanent WIP is intended as an alternate season of Buffy.

    Note from the poster: This story is entirely by Anna S. (eliade), who has generously allowed me to post her fic to AO3. It is a classic of Buffy fanfic, unfinished and likely to remain so. It has only been available via Wayback Machine for the last several years, and deserves a wider readership. A readership which will soon discover a rich and compelling tale by a master of dialog, characterization, and plotting.

    Summary

    “A terrible crime has been committed!” cried Inspector Carbon, bursting into the banquet hall.

    “Listen,” said Fluorine, backing away from Barium and twitching his cuffs straight, “it wasn’t me, I wasn’t there, and you can’t prove anything. Anyway, what got nicked this time? By someone other than me.”

    “If only it were a matter of simple electron theft!” Inspector Carbon boomed. “No, dear guests -- I do not mean to shock or frighten you, but there has been… a murder.”
