Review: 'Summer in Neptune' is the first story in an on going series that blends these two fandoms together in a wonderfully believable way. As fandoms, Buffy and Veronica are largely considered sister shows (helped along by a delightful cameo by Joss in VM) so the blending of them feels righ - like in the way you've always believed they belonged together. There's some understandable stumbling blocks (as any meshing of a supernatural fandom and a reality based one is). But the real delight of this series is the interactions between Veronica and Buffy. The two queens of sass and badassery kicking ass and taking names.
Sister fandoms they may be, but the author writes Buffy and Veronica as lovers and believe you me, you'll ship it. Watching them move from friends to lovers is wonderful and age appropriate (the story takes place while they are both in high school).
