by Red WolfDawn found she couldn't sleep.
She lay in bed contemplating the ceiling, Spike's limbs wound about her body as his face burrowed into her chest, her thoughts were churning with ways to deal with a destructive relationship that was beyond her ken.
Torn with indecision about confronting her sister, who was sneaking about like a thief in the night, Dawn could see a lot of screaming and denial in choosing that path.
Perhaps talking to Spike in the morning would be easier, at least she would have a conversation that wouldn't degenerate into name-calling.
Decision made, she drifted into sleep.

Spike's limbs wound about her body as his face burrowed into her chest
Whenever I think about Spike, snuggling works its way into the picture. I'm thoroughly enjoying that this is from Dawn's POV as she takes care of our poor injured boy — via LiveJournal — posted by MAC at 31.03.2004 09:53 AEST |

::stares at Wolf's latest masterpiece::
What's this blather you were telling me about your Muse going on vacation without you? What, she sends daily postcards?! You're on a bloody (all puns intended!) writing streak! ::glares in jealousy::
Ah, but we're all the better for it... :D — via LiveJournal — posted by Moonbeam at 31.03.2004 09:55 AEST |

The muse has been back for about six months now, after a three year sabbatical I know not where. I have to wonder if the muse was visiting someone else's head.
The various LJ community challenges seem to prod the muse into co-operating, so I'm well pleased with the results.
Wolf: Oy! (Prodding Muse) Muse, the challenge from the new drabble community is "ken", can we work that into the Alley!verse?
Muse: (currently in the guise of Dawn) Shouldn't be a problem. But there will be more snuggling of Spike.
Wolf: You know, it would be nice to move the story along into actual conversation.
Muse: There will be Spike snuggling. (Muse starts blathering on about the weather in Barbados this time of year)
Wolf: Okay. Spike snuggling it is. How about we deal with actually confronting the little relationship problem next time?
Muse: Maybe. Oh look! Shiny! (Muse is lost in a vision of shiny that, oddly enough, includes leather pants)

Ooh, loves the cuddles. Also, can't wait to see what Dawn does. *hopes she has a good resolve face* — via LiveJournal

As strange as it sounds, I can't wait to see what Dawn does either.
I only have a rough idea of direction, I just see what the next challenge brings and take it from there. It makes things interesting — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 31.03.2004 10:00 AEST |

Ah, she can try, but there's just this feeling it won't go well... continuing to read with fascination. Lovely work! — via LiveJournal

I think I'm in love with you. You are working on the Alley!verse. *hugs* Yep, I love you.
as people have said, the imagery of Spike cuddling against Dawn, unconscious or not, is just adorable.
Did I mention that I loved you? — via LiveJournal — posted by Leni at 31.03.2004 10:08 AEST |

Back off, Leni! She was mine first! ::waves a spatula threateningly:: I've known her since, what, early 1997? Give or take. That's — geez! — about 7 years! Gah! — via LiveJournal — posted by Moonbeam at 31.03.2004 10:10 AEST |

As a standalone it's very Spawny, which is deliberate, but in the wider context of the Alley!verse it falls into friendship.
Rather than using ken itself, I used understanding. Force of habit from 15minuteficlets, I tend to opt for meanings and synonyms.
Is it a rule that the word and not it's meaning or intention is to be used? It's easy enough to fix — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 31.03.2004 10:27 AEST |

I have read the last two parts of the Alley!verse, and wow!, both of them are beautiful, I just want to say: Thanks Redwolfoz!, you give us this little, wonderful, new version of the season 6 and I am really happy, reading it....

Technically, you're supposed to use the actual word (which makes it that much more of a challenge). But I let it slide this one time. :) — via LiveJournal

Changed it anyway. I like the word. It's Gaelic — via LiveJournal
