Good but rather short. Its more of a scene than a story. However Dawn and Willow are reunited and can now solve the problem of the Gathering and its Call.

I liked the writing style, it was different, but definitely a nice change (not sure I'd like it in larger doses but in this it works). Not so sure about the fitting it in with the rest of the series, I think as it is it would do better as a standalone, but if you plan to add to it then that might change. I've seen a lot of the reviewers want more, but to be completely honest I actually like it, nothing more needed.
Oh and congratulations on managing a the rather tricky task of writing WELL in the second person... it's harder than a lot of people appreciate.

I enjoyed the writing style you employed for this. The story is a good one, and left me wanting more. Which I guess is the mark of a good author :).
The 150 year limitation on Dawn's memory was interesting. But it left me confused as to why Dawn left the Highlander's Universe and entered the Firefly one. I am assuming it is not the Highlander's 'verse because of the 'creature mythology texts' you described; I don't recall those creatures in this verse. I imagine, when all your friends and family die out and you still survive, it must be very difficult, and would definitely be the impetus to leave a verse. However, if Dawn's memory was renewed every 150 years that wouldn't be a factor to necessitate her leaving. So why did she leave? Anyhoo, just thought I'd put that out there. :)

Hated it, read anyway, loved it. Fantastic scene. Fantastic explanation. Fantastic Willow and Dawn and everyone and everything and I can't wait to read the next part.
The second person was a risk, but it kinda grew on me. Interesting choice. I think it worked here.

Thanks, I find the second person can work well if the story is short and intense, otherwise it can get really tiresome.

I've been reading your series for the past two days, started with the last and then went back to the first (it's just the way things work for me). In any case, I loved this one story, not that I didn't like the others, it's just that this one made me want to add a review and beg you to continue. The others are fairly close ended, this one could continue. Keep up the wonderful work!

Thanks for the review, I'm actually about ten pages into the continuation of Inara's Secret and Willow the Ancient. It's slow going since I'm trying to do the various firefly characters justice(Mal is being a hold out), but I hope to at least start posting in a couple of months.

I liked it, only thing I didn't like is that you didn't really tell us who came through the door at the end, I'm thinkin' it was probably Buffy or maybe Faith. *shrugs* Oh well, it was still really good!
