I wasn't ever a big Dawn fan, either. And then S7 changed that. I didn't think I had her voice down, but a few those felt pretty okay.

Oh, I'm glad Xander had his epiphany, but I do wish he could have got there a wee bit sooner. I really wanted to stay as canon as I could (even with S/X) and then have him just...break. Sorry for the angst draw out! I really wish canon Xander had done more than the "It feels wrong." But, you know, we have fic...thanks for keeping up with me. *smooches you back*
