I did enjoy this more than the B/S one. It was well written and no spelling mistakes as far as I could see. I didn't think Xander, Buffy or Angel were in character though.

The scene with Dawn and Xander, could Dawn be any more selfish and whiny?

I also didn't like the S/D stuff. I don't think Spike would ever go for Dawn.

I can't really say much else, so I give it a 70.

A busy week meant that I didn't give as much attention to this story as I should have. That said, my skim reading of it, gave me the impression that it was realtively well crafted by some things jarred.

I have to agree with Kaylorin here - POV fics are very hard (almost harder than having to read slash fics), to get involved in. Its even harder if the character isn't quite right. The allusion of Xander to being a "Han Solo" type character is particularly interesting. In fact I would put Spike more as "Han Solo", cos as much as he doesn't want to, he invariably ends up helping out.

Also the Dawn and Spike interactions were a bit off character-wise, as well as Xander's own interaction with Buffy. It didn't quite come across right, almost as if the author was trying too hard.

On the plus side, no bashing of other ships.

Overall score 75.
