Top 5 Dawn-centric fics


Title: Kindred Spirits
Creator’s Name: nwhepcat
Pairings: (Dawn/Ethan)
Rating: Mature
Summary: A wildly inappropriate crush, Dawn thinks, is the perfect minor distraction from her studies. Safe, easily contained. But she doesn't know who she's dealing with...
Why I chose this: This is an amazing WIP that is updated daily. I never thought I would enjoy the pairing, but it is so perfect, so believable, so incredable. I am amazed every day at this fic, and am an addict hitting refresh from the moment I wake up, always wanting my next installment! If your not reading this - you are missing a treasure!

Title: Strength in Numbers
Creator’s Name: btvslover82
Pairings: Spike/Dawn/Angel with each possible pairing in the triad explored separately.
Rating: Mature
Summary: WIP - The nerds were successful in assassinating Buffy in late season 6, and this is the story of how events spun out afterwards. Dawn is 16 at the youngest sexual contact with Spike.
Why I chose this: An amazing fic that I quite enjoy! I enjoy reading Dawn with Spike and Dawn with Angel in this and can't wait to see where she takes this delicious pairing!

Title: Dusk Til Dawn
Creator’s Name: Athenewolfe
Pairings: Dawn Gen Fic
Rating: Teens
Summary: An alternate universe emerges from the Monk's decision to send Buffy the Key in season four. How will the choices made affect the world in which they dwell.
Why I chose this: What happens when Dawn is sent to Sunnydale in Season Four instead of Season Five. (Chapter two is Dawn-centric and a challenge response). A dark emotional fic that leaves you haunted.

Title: End Before Beginning
Creator’s Name: Ariel Dawn
Pairings: Gen Fic
Rating: Mature
Summary: Dawn goes back in time for purely selfish reasons.
Why I chose this: Only one chapter - but it is promises to be a fab story! I mean time traveling Dawn! Can you get any more delicious?

Title: Just A Girl
Creator’s Name: Unknwown
Pairings: (Spike/Buffy) (Xander/Dawn)
Rating: Mature
Summary: In an alternate Season Five, Buffy, Spike and the gang are terrorized by one of their own, and are ultimately forced to a decision that no one wants to make in order to save the world.
Why I chose this: OMG this is a great fic! What if Dawn remembered being an all powerful key and was angry at being trapped in a young body! Delicious!

LOL! I did guess it :> I think a lot of people are surprised with that one. As you said, it isn't exactly a typical pairing but you've got 2 underexplored characters there so there's a lot of freedom to work with.

Oh yes you did! It is super fantastic - I am completely in its thrall!

I love this list! Some of these fics hit so many kinks of mine it isn't even funny! I'll be sure to come back to this post once I have some spare time for reading. Thank you!

*grin* they are so very fun! ENjoy the reading!

I like Dusk Til Dawn, wish it was finished. And Just A Girl was creepily wonderful!

[athenewolfe.livejournal.com]

thank you! Dusk til Dawn is finished I believe - I was going to continue it but it went in this battered down Spike direction and my muse refused. So ended it there. The challenge was completed and after I killed Dawn I just couldn't write any more. I would have to do an alternate chapter and not kill her so I could make it Spawn.

I enjoyed Just a Girl as well - I can't wait to see who wrote it.

I love your work so your very welcome about the rec. I am kinda playing with a S/D with some A/D overtones myself - very different plot though. Of course I am not sure I can finish it by myself so it might be awhile before I start posting unless I talk someone into helping lol - why is it all my co-writers only with spuffy *sigh*

Take care I off to write more! thanks for your delicious story!
