this was lovely. thank you for sharing

Thanks! And you're welcome! :-)

Liked it a lot! I would like to know why Dawn didn't want anything to do with the Scoobys, though...

Thanks! Dawn's reasons for not wanting anything to do with them is kind of explained in the first chapter. They stopped calling and stopped taking her calls, were "too busy" for her, and they tried to bring Buffy back, all things that pissed Dawn off.

I really like this. It's a different take on Dawn's future that's very interesting. I would like to read what's between chapter 3 and this epilogue though. How did she fall in love with Eliot? What kind of jobs did they pull as a group? How did they convince her to work for them? Because I can't see Dawn working with them out of gratitude.

I'm glad you liked it. I'm considering a side story that shows at least different scenes that occur between chapter 3 and the epilogue, it's mostly a matter of if I can decide exactly what I want and get it to cooperate. As for her working with them, it's kind of mentioned at the end of chapter 3. Mostly, it was the 'helping people' thing that got her. Nate knew how good she was and that's why he asked her, and when he mentioned the 'helping people' thing, it made Dawn remember back when things were good, before Buffy died, when the Scoobies helped people and that's what made her accept. I hope that makes sense.....it makes sense in my head anyway, lol!

I enjoyed this story very much. I liked how you took elements from season five "Dawn" and ran with it. I look forward to your next story.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun writing this, so I'm really glad you liked it.

Love it!

Thanks!

Awesome!! Now you need to do a one shot of the wedding with Spike included!!

Thanks! I was already considering doing something like that since I really wanted to get Spike in this but it just wasn't working. If I can figure out exactly how I want to do it and get it to work, there will most likely be a wedding one shot. :-)

Is this what I think it is?! A completed multi-chapter?! O_O

=P

I love you. ♥ ^-^

I know! Maybe its a sign of the apocalypse? lol!

*hug* Love you too!

Um... Dawn and Elliot? Hummina hummina. *wipes brow

*grins* I know, right?

seriously?? Seriously??? I'm soooo jealous right now! Could you send Eliot over to kiss MY neck? Please?

LOL! I would, but.....well, Eliot's a bit....tied up at the moment.... *grins* ;)

I really like this story. I'm glad I started reading it. I don't watch Leverage, but some of you guys are making me want to. Will there be romance??? I love me some romance! and some big, hunky male making the big bad hurts go away... and maybe some Big Bad jealousy with the Big Bad even though Dawn and Spike's relationship wasn't like that..... sorry. got carried away.

Oh, you should definitely watch! Seriously awesome show! There's gonna be slight romance, more of a mention than anything, though. *giggles* That's a lot of big bads, lol! Sadly, there won't be anymore Spike in this fic, I tried to work him into it, but it just kept sounding forced. :-( I'm glad you like the fic, though. And I definitely recommend watching Leverage! Thanks for the review!

I liked it, and I look forward to more. But I would love for Spike to make another appearence, since THEY parted on good terms.

Glad you liked it. Sadly, no reappearance of Spike... :-( I tried to work it in, but I couldn't get it to fit well....He is mentioned, though.

Hm...not where I thought it was going to go, but still nice. I assume you explain why they "need" the necklace in the next chapter? Also, no Lindsay in this version? (Not that Christian isn't lovely, but the resemblance should be noticable...).

Nope, no Lindsey....Or I guess there could be a Lindsey, cos Dawn never met him, so.....but the whole Eliot/Lindsey similarity is being conveniently ignored for this fic, lol. As for the necklace *shrugs* honestly, I just needed a way for them to meet. Nothing important about it, just a piece they needed to steal for a random job and that Dawn thought was pretty and wanted, I guess. I just needed a way to mesh the worlds, lol.

ooo, I can't wait. Lovie this chapter, just wish there was more of a dawnie eliot element, I like it never thought of them together, but they kinda mesh. he could handle her I think.

*grins* You're definitely gonna like the next chapter....It's not detailed, but its there.... :-)

LMAO. Poor Dawn. Had to give the necklace up for being rescued from the Scoobies. Great chapter!

Thankies! :-D

Aww! Only one more chapter? *pouts* Love this story!

I know, its so sad, isn't it? This one was definitely fun to write and I'm so glad you like it!
