Different Species, Yet So Alike

An IBVS/Dreamswap crossover.

Chris's life has hit a rocky patch. His dad has become more controlling, nearly borderline abusive, he's been plagued by nightmares about his past, and Edward wants Chris to focus more on the supernatural investigation club. Everything isn't going well for him, and he's fallen into a deep depression, caused by the stress of life and his low self-esteem. Chris has tried to ease his misery, even resorting to self harm, but his results have been futile.

One day, after a nasty fight with Edward, Chris decides he's had enough and runs away to the mountain at the edge of town to end it all. But little does Chris know, Mount Song is no ordinary mountain.
