I have to say that one of the things I love best about this chapter is how human you make Willow. Yes, of course, she's screwing up when it comes to Dawn, but she's doing it out of the trauma of her own grief and you show that beautifully here. As a Willow-fan, I thank you for showing her in all her dimensions here.

Thank you! I think it's very understandable to me why Willow would want to resurrect Buffy. One of the things I like about Joss' characters is that they're so very human: heroes or villains, at the end of the day, they're complex people who defy simplistic labeling. Willow's in pain, and she's naive enough to think magic, which apparently corrupts the way power does, would solve her problems. She needs guidance, not judgement.

My poor bb Dawn :( Willows well meant power trip is painfully IC. The road to hell and all that...

I really felt for Dawn as I wrote this. I thought it contrasted well with Buffy's release and peace. And Willow is grieving hard too.

Thanks again for reading and commenting!

Oh yes, I forgot to mention the Buffy part, that I thought was incredibly beautiful. At first I thought it was another poetry quote. Lovely.

Heh. I wasn't fishing for compliments. ;) Thank you, though. :)
