I love this choice you're giving us mostly because between an undefined possibly morally twisted boyfriend who might or might not be awesome, to Buffy having Tingly feelings for Xander, I'm always going to choose dark twisty undefined Boyfriend.

Other than that? Dawn was just how I want Dawn to be. Perfect voice.

great twist on things.

Thanks!

I admit to landing on the other side of the perspective here - Season 8 is real, the Immortal is the dream - but the ambiguity lets the reader really make up their mind. Though there's some hidden threads favoring my point, I think. :)

yeah, while I don't necessarily would go with the S8 is a dream choice I will forever chose to live in denial of Buffy ever having more than asexual sister to brother feelings for Xander. blergh.

Dawn/Xander OTOH? I'm freezing cool with it XD

Buffy's just all confused and lonely without her fave snarky blond vampire stalking her. She's so used to be surrounded by eye candy that she's lost perspective. ;)

Threadjacking to say: me, too! No hesitation at all.
