very good read, thank you. love the way spike can calm dawn, the tenderness he displays and that the scoobies know this. (feel free to punctuate the previous.) but did you really have to bring in the great broody one?

I ache in sympathy for your flu and laptop drearies. Hopefully, getting reviews will act as some sort of homeopathic remedy! I really love this story. It's very touching, and I can't wait to see how it unfolds. Best of luck to you!

On no, Space. Hope you feel better soon. Greedy readers are waiting semi-patiently. I liked the part with Faith beating up the prison bitch.

So sorry Space, hope you'll feel better soon. Damn computer's never know when shit can happen. angel just has to throw his weught around. Love these scoobies so much better then canon. Their attitude will help Spike and Dawn deal with her loss. Looking forward to your next update. Love the Angel bashing, by the way. Thanks for this wonderful fic. Take care.

Feel better soon, hon!

Dresden crypt, eh? :)

Very nice having Wes show up offering to help, and Giles and Xander still being nice to Spike. Ah, Angel....well, that was expected, what with his thinking being so a couple years ago...

Looking forward to more.

You're doing a wonderful job with this story, and already tried to contain my tears with this chapter, but I couldn't. Love it. Ooh, I hope you feel better soon!

Good chapter. You've really caught the weirdness of bereavement. Nice to see Xander behaving decently for a change -- and could Angel be a bigger prat?

I like that Xander and Giles were more open to Spike after what happened, although it makes it worse that they didn't continue once buffy came back. Really wanted to slap Angel for implying Spike didn't have the right to be there. Interesting that Faith could sense something was off even while in prison. At least Wesley's presence explains how they came up with the idea to patrol together to keep word from getting out.

Great chapter.

I gotta say from the first scene to the last this was one incredibly well written chapter! I especially loved the beautiful way you descibed Spike and Dawn in the sleeping scene. And I liked that you included the glimpse into Faith's life in prison, that's not something you find in a lot of fics. Wonderful update!
Sorry to hear you're sick, I hope you feel better soon! :)

I am enjoying this soooo much!! This is what I would have loved to have seen played out on screen. I can't wait to read more!! Hope you feel better soon!!
