Very touching. Love it. _

Wow... just.. wow. This made me cry. Janusz way of seeing the Key was so sweet and innocent and cute and argh! I'm going to cry again.

Wow - this is just amazing. It adds in seamlessly with canon and really pulls me into the events as seen by this character. The monks and their deaths didn't evoke much from the audience but they become so much more here. Incrediby well done.

An amazing Buffy Vignette! This fic is one of those gems you dig so hard to find and with the discovery makes all of the toil worthwhile.

This is just wonderful. Words cannot express my thoughts.

I just wish I could write like this!

Very good. I always thought they should have a story about what Dawn's life was like before she lived with the Buffster.

Thank you for so eloquently breathing life into this minor character. I even liked Dawn in this. :)

that was great. i feel like crying.

I am awestruck by how you have succeeded in taking the most minor of characters and making him a person about whom I came to care. This story even increases my liking of Dawn, his beloved Key.

Oh, wow. OhwowohwowohwowohWOW! This is one of the most touching Buffy fics I have EVER read. I can just feel Janusz's love, and pain, and final resolution. The bits of prophecy spread throughout were an extremely poignant touch. Your fics are always so different from the others out there, and SO wonderful. I'm going to read everything you've written someday. You can count on it.

Wow.

That was wicked awsome.

I am a humongeous Buffy fan...and this story just

fit in so well.

Your writing style has a nice flow to it.

Now I'm definatly going to read more of your stuff.

Bye!

I don't know how you did it, but this fits seamlessly into the episode it precedes, and adds some much needed depth to Dawn's (and the brotherhood's) characterization. Beautifully done and insanely creative!

Nice. I liked the characterization of the pre-human Key as a feeling, but non-thinking, entity. I especially enjoyed reading Janusz's believable and touching thoughts during his dying conversation with Buffy.

I thought that this was really well written. I thoroughly enjoed it. I look forward to more stories from you.

This is wonderful. I love stories that fill in neglected backstory in canon or flesh out obscure characters, and you've accomplished both of these things here. The ending was beatiful.

Really wonderful. I think you captured beautifully the story of Dawn and her "birth" into this world... Well done!
