Yeah for cool Dawn. She redeemed her character in tha tlast season--maybe because was because she wasn't merely a product of the monks anymore, but was creating herself. I like that idea you have. And it fits with the timeline: learning ancient languages would require a lot of work, and that time isn't available with continual Potential Slayer sleepovers.

This is one of my favorite Dawn fics.

Awesome. I always love finding someone else who doesn't write Dawn like a minor annoyance.

Such a great story. I love when author's are able to incorperate their own knowledge into fics. I loved this and thought it was very original.
Also, you did a great job with Dawn's characterization. I really liked her reasons for taking on the difficult task of learning Sumarian.

This is wonderful -- so smart and so tender. I really like studying-as-a-way-of-dealing. You write very clearly. Thanks so much for sharing your talent!

Stinko.

Excellent. Love the way you used the dead language to tell Dawn's story, masterly juxtaposition of details.

This is *incredible*. What a beautiful, believable way to fill in one of the Giant Plot Holes of Season 7. Aww. Dawn. I forgot why I really loved her. Thanks.

Beautiful Dawn voice. She's so vulnerable and insecure, so she does something about it. It's a good reason for Dawn's sudden language-girl status in canon, too. I enjoyed this very much!

I hope that you will finish this story. It seems like it could be interesting, and I cant wait to see where the story goes next.

Oh, excellent, excellent story. I think you write Dawn incredibly well, her voice always sounds convincing. I'd love to see you write more of her, almost as much as I'd love to see another chapter of Griefmobile (hint, hint). At any rate, thanks for this.

love the...and they all went away bit. This was really good. It really showed how much Dawn wants to be a helful part of the group. Had little sad bits in it, that were great. Really showed Dawn's insecurities. Loved this! Bye
