Favorite Dawn and Spike short stories of 2015

Some favorite Dawn and Spike shortfic of the past year. Stories arranged from shortest to longest.

Pretty Little Liars by [livejournal.com profile] shapinglight (Dawn & Spike, PG). Post-Gift ficlet. Spike notices one thing, at which Dawn is much better than him. (And it's not applying black nail polish.)

You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory by workaholicSlacker (Dawn & Spike, G). Set between seasons 5 and 6. Dawn's still grieving Buffy, and Spike has angry music. Angry music is the sort of thing that helps, right?

Wishbone by [livejournal.com profile] feliciacraft (Dawn & Spike, G). Another beautiful ficlet with angsty post-Gift bonding. In this one both of them are trying to keep calm, carry on and not to say the w word.

#hashtagthis by [livejournal.com profile] kwritten (Dawn/Spike, G). This one is set post-series, for a change. 19-year old Dawn is missing and Spike is sent to fetch her with only some very bad tweets to guide him. Includes roadtripping, selfies, and Spike falling in love with Lisbeth Salander and Amazing Amy.

Olives and Arrows by apprenticebard (Dawn & Spike, G). Spike & Dawn, season seven. Midnight snacks, Latin homework, a dead cat, and a severely wounded friendship.

These two are prime material for a lot of bittersweet or funny stories. Thanks for the post!
