( The desert was hot in a hotly hot way but at least the vamps were dusted. Buffy looked over the edge of the crater. Plus the Hellmouth didn't seem to be spewing out any other monsters at the moment. “Okay, Dawn. Turok Han are dusted. You're up.” )

Note: The Dukes of Hazzard
( First an ancient punk rocker appeared out of nowhere and placed one of those 'this is a sign of evil' flowers on the altar, and then Dawn cut herself and let the blood drip into the mouth of that selfsame flower. This could only lead to badness. Combining blood and any kind of mouth was a bad idea at the mouth of Hell. )

Rating: PG
Summary: Another chapter for Shanshu
Word Count: AO3 says it's 1377; fanfic.net lists it ast 1381; Open Office (which I know is wrong) as 1432
Note: The end is in sight. I've been plotting out my future scenes. Two to three more months unless I start adding scenes.
( “Let me get this straight.” Buffy had taken the centermost of the three leather chairs in Andrew's office. After listening to Angel whine all the way from Rome, she wasn't about to be stuck on the couch with him except that wasn't a problem. Even after the shades had been drawn down, Angel wouldn't enter the office. Fine, if he wanted to brood by the door, he could just do that. “Not only is Spike missing, but Willow has been grabbed by somebody, Xander just got out of jail, and Andrew has vanished.” )

Word Count: 990
( After Xander had hung-up on her, Dawn stared at her cell. Andrew's kidnapping she could understand. It sort of seemed like every other week some, well, thing took Andrew. But Willow? Miss mega-powered witch? And how did someone take Spike? He wasn't even supposed to be alive or he wasn't supposed to be undead or whatever, but still. He pops back into existence and, pow, he's kidnapped? That was worse than Andrew even. Was she the only one who could take-out a kidnapper? )

Rating: PG
Summary: Part 20 of Shanshu
Word Count: 551
( Okay, maybe midnightish wasn't the safest time to be bolting for the lake, but Dawn had grown up on a Hellmouth. She could handle campus, even at night, and sometimes you just had to be alone. The two sets of benches – one out in the open and one the under under the pines – at her favorite overlook were empty. Well, yeah, of course they were. No one in sight. She settled in under the pines. It wasn't like she needed the extra shade, but sometimes she wanted, or maybe even needed, the extra sense of seclusion, like right now when Buffy hadn't thought it worth calling to tell her another apocalypse was in the works. )
Fic: Saved the Day
Jan. 23rd, 2015 06:39 pm"Speed of lightning, roar of thunder.”
Saturday morning. 5:30. Dawn had cranked the volume. Buffy stared at her ceiling. Three. Two. One. Mom’s door slammed. The tv clicked off. “Go to your room.”
“What are you gonna do? Ground me even more?”
“Honey, you’re not grounded.”
“Feels like it.” And there went Dawn, stomping up the stairs.
Not even in Sunnydale could a blown-up high-school be blamed on PCP crazed druggies. There’d been talk of a bomber, like that guy in Oklahoma City. Mom had pretty much kept them in the house ever since.
On tv, once the hero saved the day, he got the girl – not that Buffy wanted a girl – but once the day was saved, everything was fixed. She’d saved the day. So why was everything broken?

Fic: Nevermore
Oct. 23rd, 2013 08:12 pmRating: PG for language
Setting: S6ish
Summary/Prompt: Written for the 2013 Halloween Challenge over at SB Fag Ends. Lacrimosa's The Way of the Shadow: raven's skull
Note: not posted to SB Fag Ends because the raven skull prompt is for a meta only. I was confused about the rules.
Note: I really don't watch the latter seasons that often. Apologies if it doesn't fit in with canon.
“Nevermore. Croaak. Nevermore.” Spike peered in through the window of the Magic Box to see Dawn playing about with a raven's skull. “Nevermore.”
Anya swiped the skull out of Dawn's hands. “Hey!”
Anya shook the skull at Dawn. “This is my stock. Not some toy. Besides, you're supposed to be helping with research, not playing like a little child.”
“I'm not a kid. Xander, tell her I'm not a kid.”
Spike grinned as Xander and Willow stared more closely at their respective texts. He wouldn't have gotten between Anya and the niblet either. “Nevermore,” Dawn croaked again.
Spike slipped into the alley. Nevermore. He'd been wondering when Buffy might take him back. Apparently he'd been given his answer.
Fic: Cupcake

Note: Written for the prompt of "cake" at Open on Sunday but not posted there because I couldn't get it down to 100 words.
Dawn waited until dusk to pull out the cupcake and candle. In the darkness of her room, the match flared into life. One little candle on one measly cupcake was a far cry from the lifetime of parties she could remember. At the same time, it was the first birthday candle anyone had ever lit for her, not that anyone had lit it, only a great big nobody.
At the knock on her door, Dawn blew out the candle but hope flared. Maybe they had remembered. She heard Willow's voice. “Dawn? We're heading out to patrol. You gonna be okay by yourself?”
“Tell her she'd better be asleep by the time we get back,” Buffy's voice called from down the hall. “It's a school night.”
“Yeah. Sure. Not like I'm a baby or anything.”
Once there was nothing left of the cupcake, Dawn folded the wrapper down as small as she could. If anyone did remember, later, she didn't want them to find it and guess how she'd spent her birthday.

Note: Written for a prompt at Open on Sunday: cook
The vampire poofed into dust. “That'll cook your goose.”
“Uh, what was that?” Xander asked.
Willow shrugged. “I'm trying, okay. At least it got her off the sex talk.”
“Ooooh.” The Buffybot bounced. “Sex with Spike is like cooking with gas, cooking a goose with gas.”
Anya snickered. “I'll say.”
“Huh?” Dawn asked.
“Well look at him,” Anya added. “Spike is hot. Sex with hot guys is like cooking with gas, but Spike is definitely trouble, so your goose would also get cooked.”
Xander pulled at Anya's arm. “You've thought about what sex with Spike would be like?”
“You haven't?”

Dawn stared at the bowl as she poured in the cereal and milk, filling it to the brim.
“Would you like orange juice?”
Dawn started smooshing her cereal into the milk. A glass of juice appeared next to the bowl. Dawn’s spoon clattered loudly on the table as she took two steps across the room, pouring herself a cup of coffee. She was adding the fifth teaspoon of sugar when she heard, “When I was your age, your grandmother told me coffee would stunt my growth.”
“Kiren has been drinking coffee since she was seven.”
“Her mother gave her milk with a splash of coffee, that’s not the same thing, besides Kiren doesn’t use a dozen teaspoons of sugar. Buffy causes enough trouble at school; I don’t need to hear that you’ve been hyperactive.”
Dawn looked away as she dumped the coffee down the sink.
“Why make coffee each morning if you aren’t going to drink…”
“Willow.”
“But Tara, she’s wasting… oh.”
Dawn grabbed her book bag. “I’m not hungry.”
“Wouldn’t you like a ride to school?”

Summary: If Dawn pretends real hard, she's almost good enough.
Notes: Written for a prompt at Open On Sunday: technical difficulties
She found Dawn on the bed, crying quietly.
“You are my sister. I love you. I don’t want you to cry.” She seemed to look inward for a moment. “I’ll make you hot chocolate.”
“No, wait!” When she turned back, Dawn added, “Maybe you could sit here with me?”
Dawn arranged her so they were sitting side-by-side, arms around waists.
After a moment she asked, “Are you feeling better?”
“Yeah, but maybe we could be quiet for a while?”
“OK.”
Closing her eyes against, well, everything, Dawn rested her head on the closest thing she had to her sister’s shoulder.
