Umad learns Sumerian by Annakovsky (PG)
Fandom: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Pairing: Gen; Dawn Summers
Length: 1,847
Author on LJ: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Author Website: kovsky's Bookmarks
Why this must be read:
Because Dawn's characterization feels so real here, in the aftermath of everything that happened with Willow, just trying to put her mind off the last two years and immersing herself in something true, something solid. The passages of Sumerian throughout the piece are fascinating, and completely satisfied the language geek in me.
She works on translations for hours every day, makes Buffy take her out patrolling at night. She will be ready when they need her.
Everything she does makes her more real, every mark of her pencil on the paper. The monks may have created her old diary and all her baby pictures and school transcripts, but they did not create the pages of parsings and translation scattered over her bedroom floor. They did not create the emails of questions she sends off to Giles, did not create her UCSunnydale library card. They did not create whatever she is going to do next.
