She says… the watcher wanted me to go with him, to England. He said not to worry about the English vamprie because he would follow, I think you've got a typo there.
Nice job! Dana is a character that very few writers attempt because she is so tricky and Giles debriefing her about the past Slayers is a brilliant idea. And, of course, it has to be all about Spike.
No need to be nervous - this was a brilliant bit of post-ep story that could almost be considered canon (and should be at least until JW decides to do his own). Well done.
Thank you. I hope Dana came through as a character. Even if I did very much Spike-a-fy the conversation.
I thought Spike should have had a few failed attempts mixed in with his two slayer kills, and to provide some backstory on how he learned Luganda, since he apparently does in the show.
As for the ending, well, I wanted to leave with the hopes that Dana would be getting the treatment she needs, and some affection, rather than a continued institutionalized existence.
wow...that's intense, love...and very great grasp of dana's character....lovely characterization of dana....very much enjoyed this and would love to see it go further :)

Yeah, Dana is, like, totally totally hard! OMG!! Hope I did her justice!
Kinda want to write a post-NFA Dana/Spike meeting now too. *shivers*

I didn't really do her justice, either. Looking over this, it's more a use of her as a plot device to explore the Spike Vs. The Slayers relationship.
Bad me.
Still... she deserves a story. *ponders*

Good muddled Dana. All those voices from all those memories.
Liked the inclusion of Spike who met many of the slayers.
"Dana, we won’t hurt you. Not any more.”
Giles, finally, stops acting only as a watcher.
A fine story with many facets.

It could go further... and I might continue it. It would be interesting to see her recovery and development.
