Aww. I have trouble limiting myself, what can i say :)
My Buffyverse femslash ficathon fic is being uncooperative, so since i finished my femslash05 i'm allowing myself to read your fic. (I keep refreshing flist:filter=people.)
Yay for Dawn regretting burning everything! (I have such difficulty parting with anything, that i don't think i could ever do anything so rash.)
"She can see the details of Doc's spell in her mind, and is already trying to figure out which picture of Tara she wants to use in the center of the spell, although she knows she can't."
Love that bit.
"Not Tara's books, which is a small relief, because she'd feel like she was disrespecting the dead, but Willow's. The ones (she recalls) Willow promised she'd gotten rid of. A small stack, but still there. [...] She does research, now, she can hear herself announcing to Buffy, jittery, happy."
Love those bits, too.
"plunges down the page to find the truth, the part where they give the actual answer."
Really love that bit.
"Not the big, ostentatious knife she used on Buffy's twentieth birthday: that was for show. This is for real."
*grins*
"She tries not to think about her too much, but she still blames her, like it's Glory's fault that she was made, not born, when in fact it would be fairer to say that without Glory, she wouldn't exist at all."
*nods*
"There aren't any clues in the consistency of the Key, only power, raw, filling every crack and crevice, digging into the shell of her body, wrapping itself around her core.
Tara really doesn't have any other choice than to surrender to the Key, let her body be shaped and moved and twisted by its unnatural convolutions. [...] It's only then that she remembers that Dawn is the Key."
Oh so creepy.
"Dawn said she's dead, and for the first time, she feels dead. Not shy, not crazy, not single, just dead."
I like that bit.
"Go back. Please. I can't... I can't be anything to you here."
Owie.
"She should have learned about letting go, but she still hasn't learned not to cling."
Aww....

No, me neither. That scene is so disturbing for me as a diarist. I can't imagine burning them. *shudder*
Yay, I'm glad you liked it! Bizarre creepy little thing. :)
See you... TOMORROW! *dies*
