You know how much I love your grown-up Dawn, and this is obviously no exception. The moral issues in this fic are so interesting and I really like how you deal with them. Like, Faith's thoughts here:
She recognized the look in the girl’s eyes: it was a cold amorality that she had seen in her own eyes before, and in those of others who had worked for the mayor: a willingness to go to any ends, no matter how extreme, to achieve the objective. She knew how dangerous such a person could be.
She was glad Dawn was on her side.The comparison between what Dawn is willing to do with Sam Finn is great. The fact that she doesn't want to sacrifice her ideals, even to save the world, is a great contrast to Faith, Dawn, Giles, and Kennedy. I love that you ended that section with Sam being thankful that the Council of Watchers exists, which is so similar to Faith being glad Dawn is on her side ( ... )

I didn't originally plan to include the Kennedy section (which is why it's epigraph is from a different Housman poem than the other sections), but decided that ending with Sam wouldn't have been hopeful enough.
Thank you!

Dawn knew how to use sex as a weapon-most of those lessons having been taught her by Faith herself.
I really liked that bit. You're suggesting there's so much more than just what occurs in the fic. Neat!
You seem to have a section/sentence missing from the Giles part:
or kill a human, that they would be able to take on all those burdens themselves. But the
Enjoyed that a lot :)
