by Red WolfDawn ran after her sister, but Buffy had Slayer skills and was soon lost to her. She had little choice but to search the hard way, starting from the centre of town and spiralling out.
In the end she heard them long before she saw them. The preliminaries were over and Buffy had gotten down to the business of working out her frustrations with her fists.
"Stop it!"
Buffy looked up in surprise, Dawn held a crossbow aimed at her heart.
"Step away from Spike."
"You don't understand."
Dawn helped Spike to his feet, backing away from her sister.

Ooh, the plot thickens. I didn't expect that. Tense. *munches on popcorn* — via LiveJournal

I did need to have Dawn catch Buffy in the act, rather than just cleaning up after her. And as Buffy only seems to understand violence, I thought the crossbow would make Dawn's point nicely — via LiveJournal

For some reason, reading Alley!verse and eating ritz crackers is a perfect way to start the day. I can't believe I actually used to like Spuffy. ::sigh:: Season 6 is teh evol. Still loving, and I like how protective you're making Dawn in this !verse — via LiveJournal

Thanks. You're so easy to please, all it takes is threatening Buffy with a crossbow. Maybe I should have considered the railgun — and I really should stay away from lovely violent video games — via LiveJournal

It's Buffy's line. Spike isn't really up to speaking after she hammered him — via LiveJournal

I liked this... how Dawn had to figure out how to find them the hard way as well as how she stepped up and protected what she wanted. Nice work — via LiveJournal

Buffy isn't known for being reasonable.
This is part the Alley!verse. Dawn has already tried talking it out, it didn't go well, so she went for something that Buffy would understand — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 06.04.2004 10:10 AEST |

I like it. Glad someone finally stood up for Spike! — via LiveJournal

Spike has shown little interest in standing up to Buffy, somebody has to — via LiveJournal

Aha! about time someone intervened in the nasty abuse Buffy piled on Spike. A very satisfying read. ;-) — via LiveJournal

This I'm going to remember. In fact, I'm going to write it down. I have a close but small circle of friends you'll hear cheering where ever you are when I share this with them. ;-)) — via LiveJournal — posted by Murielle at 19.04.2004 09:22 AEST |

She's not a knight in shining armour, but I think Spike is beyond the age when he thought fairy tales were real too — via LiveJournal

Oh, but can't you just *hear* what he'd say if a knight in shining armour showed up? LOL! — via LiveJournal
