I started this at SR, but I'd rather read from here. It's a great beginning. Love Spike and Dawn interaction. So very like them, well done.

Interesting thought on Dawn and how the others blame her for not dying.

definitely have the scoobies pegged. good read, thank you.

Great chapter, love how Spike and Dawn comforts each other.
Looking forward to more.

I love the idea behind this. Nice start :)

This is a very good start I can't wait to see more of this story!!

P.S. Keep up the great work.:)

i reviewed this on lj, but i wanted to leave one here too :) this is a very good beginning to this fic, setting the stage very well, and i especially love the spike/dawn bits....very emotional writing, excellent chapter...looking forward to more :)

Interesting start ;)

Great beginning! I'm looking forward to the rest, and an unjaded Buffy learning about her sister. This summer without Buffy always seemed to me the big turning-point for Spike- not the lustyu dreams and not the soul. When he loved Dawn for herself and was careful and gentle and greived for months instead of some flash-fire sobbing that ended quickly. Liked it so far:)

Great premise. Can't wait to see where you take it.

I was drawn in by the fic summary. =D Sounds interesting - hope to see more soon!
