This is beautiful. I haven't read post-Gift fic in a long time and knowing what's come in the episodes since then makes reading this all the more poignant. Lovely writing, very in character Dawn POV. I loved how you gave a feel for the way the other characters were grieving without going into too much detail- I could feel for them and understand their pain without needing to know much and that really takes talent to do. Thanks for the beautiful read.

Okay that was depressing. You give new meaning to the word angest. So I guess the word I'm serching for is... congrats maybe. Like the story but I guess I'm just not ment for angest.

Sweet, all i can say is this is the best damn fanfic out there that you've wrote

absolutely beautiful. it flows very well...poignant, and it has just the right amount of angst and bitterness. it isn't fluffy, nor is it spiteful and black. more like muted shades of grey. perfection personified.

Absolutely *beautiful* job! This was SO believable and SO touching. You expressed Dawn's feelings so well. Any plans for a sequel?

I LOVE it. Can you please try your hand at a sequal? Very sad, and made me really sad. I imagine Dawn to be a very mature teen, and this does support my theory ...

Wonderful. Sad. Very real.

Lovely, just lovely. You captured the Dawn I imagine, so I'm very partial to this. It was harrowing, heartbreaking, and very believable.

Made me want to cry! Excellent, very well written and great detail, Keep em' coming!

Wow. Breathtaking. I lack appropriate words.

Oh, wow. This was really moving, and made it feel real and final. I felt horrible for Dawn, and can believe this may be how she truly feels. Nicely done.

Terrific! But I wanted more about Buffy's diary and how it reflected the changes in her and in her life. (Guess I'll have to do it myself! ;)

I'm speechless. This is a work of art. I've read a LOT of fic, written a lot, and I have to say, this is one of the best I've seen yet.

I usually respond to your stories on fictalk but I accidentally deleted this one. I'm glad I found it in here. As always girl, your stories are wonderful. THis one was no exception. Truly great.

a very nicely done tale. Going through her stuff. It is something we all have to do when one dies. you have done a great job on the feelings and thoughts that one may have. BRAVO
