Contains spoilers for BtVS thru episode 7x22 "Chosen" and AtS thru episode 5x02 "Just Rewards."
Set 5 1/2 years after the Buffy finale - 2008 - making Dawn 21.
Continuity: Consistent with all 7 years of BtVS; consistent thru AtS 5x10 "Soul Purpose"; 5x11 spun me off into AU-land... :cries:
Distribution: Please just ask first - I won't say no!
I owe a big debt of gratitude to Michele, who's magnificent work "Complement" is the greatest fanfic I've ever read. The portrayal of Faith in it was an inspiration for the one in this story (which is nowhere near as good).
All characters are owned by Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, blah-blah-blah...
