5 Short Dawn Fics

1. Old Year's Eve, by

S6
Dawn makes a discovery about Spike and Buffy and another discovery about herself. This is Dawn-growing-up fic, beautifully written and with the sense of weight and melancholy growing up brings.
2. Sea Change, by

season indeterminate
This may be the coolest bit of Dawn-is-the-key fic I've seen in a long time, partly because it's so hopeful, a break in the clouds of oppressive Buffyverse pessimism. So short, and yet so good.
3. Hunter, by

S3
A moment between Dawn and Angel that never happened. I don't see fics of the two of them together very often, so this was a treat, even though the focus is more on Angel than Dawn.
4. Free Your Soul, by

S6
Dawn, Willow, and fanfic. Just a bit of sweetness sprinkled with humor and a couple of winks to all of us fic lovers.
5. Summer S'Mores, by

pre-series through the whole show
A lovely short set of vignettes featuring Buffy, Dawn, and s'mores. I love reading about them just being sisters, whether they're kicking butt or kicking back, and this is a great example of it.
