I love that you made icons after your friend passed away...working through grief is hard. I wrote a fanfic called Peripheral Vision after my grandmother died to deal with my own grief...it was a confusing thing for me because my father stopped speaking to his mother when I was a kid and we lost touch with her until she passed. So, yeah...the fic really helped. Do you feel like the icon making helped you?

Love the Dawn icon on the stairs...the coloring matches her stance and expression so well! And the Buffy sing one...with the sing fading into her face...gorgeous. I'm going to definitely snag that one! I love your alternatives as well. #46 is especially striking... It's so much fun to play with the same images...and to see what others create with the same ones... Beautiful work!
