Oh for all the gods that was just beautiful...i mean it's as if Dawn finallly found the father she never had....tears i tell you tears.....bloody brilliant....can't wait for more

I am loving this story. I am entranced by the many different viewpoints. I love how you have slightly altered individual's reactions to certain events. It is as if they are more in keeping with the characters and the point at where the characters are in their lives. And I adore how you have driven Dawn and Spike closer together due to their mutual grief. Willow's denial of reality and use of manipulation is familiar with what we saw on the show, but I like better how you have decided to not include Tara and Anya in her plan. It always seemed illogical to me that Tara and Anya would agree to go along with Buffy's resurrection. Anya knows the dangers of dark magics and their consequences. And Tara suffered through the grief of losing her mother. Surely she would have recognized Willow's fervent need to resurrect Buffy as a form of denial. I have to say, I am preferring your version of the events post Buffy's death better than how they were presented on BtVS. Please do continue with this story! It is incredibly absorbing and I can't wait to read more!

I love this story. Very well written.
