Rating:  PG-13

Summary:  After the spell to resurrect Joyce fails, Dawn visits Spike's crypt. Friendship / Angst.

A/N:  Originally conceived as the first in a series of three fics, but I think it works well as a one shot. If I had been more observant whilst watching Series Three of Angel then I might have

This is beautifully drawn. There are lots of nice bits, from Dawn's idea of a "dimmer switch" in Spike's head to his perception of "salt" on her cheeks. It feels like a very true interlude, for both of them. Nice job.

This is very good. Good imagery and a well-written
Spike. I'll look forward to your other fics.

Lovely. I really enjoyed this. Dawn and Spike's friendship was one of my favorite relationships on the show. I do believe Spike loved Dawn in her own right and not as an extension of his obsession with Buffy.

I simply adore the Spike-Dawn friendship, and you've captured it beautifully here, as well as the conflict (and partial resolution?) between Spike's human and demon facets. Really lovely work.

This was lovely. Can't wait for the rest.
