Oh yes some business is in order.....with Giles, scoobies and Angel methinks (and dealing with Lindsey too).  YAY for miracle cures, Dana deserved it.

Excellent ritual for brining Senaya forth. i like Dawn's involvement as well. her blood still being "Key" had so many possibilities to play if she hadn't turned all into Bitch Dawn in Season 7.

This is a beautiful fic! I love it, I really liked how you worked Dana into it because I think she has a great character that no one really uses. I rekon you could even add a sequel to this if you hadn't considered that yet, it would be awesome!

Gaaah (last chapter...) Rieff was in another episode than I though!!!! (bad me). Yes! Doyle dying a hero my ultimate fav Doyle eppy. I mixed it up with the Ring (bad me, bad me).

YES a human wedding too, I like the way Dawn thinks.

Love Dana and Seneya bond and the vision of the future it brings for all of them.

Lovely,

Kathleen

And you know would have wanted a human wedding too. :D

I loved the surprise of Dawn being there, and how she greeted Dana was perfect. That was really a wonderful ritual, and I loved Dawn's way of letting Spike know that she wants a human ceremony for him and Buffy.
I had to bring Dawn back. It was fitting that she was in the second chapter and then to reemerge in the next to last chapter. I'm all for symmetry. And of course, Dawn wants the whole she-bang for her sis.

Well it seems that I have found this story a bit late, considering you are almost done with it. But I love it all the same. Can't wait for them to take care of this "business." Should be fun. ; )
It's never too late to climb aboard, Jessica. Thanks for reviewing!

hmmm... I liked it. My only complaint is that it feels just a bit rushed. Coulda mebbe padded it out a tic, added some more crazy Dana, given us the Spike called Dawn scene, things like that.

Yet, it was still an excellent chapter.
Originally I decided to contain this story in 12 chapters. It was written for Seasonal Spuffy, and I didn't want it too long. That being the case, I wanted to focus on moving the story forward. Some stuff, like Spike or Clem calling Dawn, could easily be done off screen if you will. Besides, her appearance was written as a surprise for Buffy and for the reader.

As for exploring Dana's madness and eventual healing. Senaya's bonding with Dana only went so far. In the eventual sequel, I'll explore this more and what actually happened to her. Like I put in my previous response to your review of the previous chap, I'm loving this little universe I've created. Not sure I'm ready to let go quite yet.
