Why this must be read:
A lengthy, detailed AU from the end of season 5, "The Gift," Giles and Dawn find themselves in Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake universe.
I like the father/daughter relationship that this Dawn and Giles develop once they are marooned in this new universe together. Dawn was never one of my favorite characters, although I liked her in season 7. However, Tara takes season 5 Dawn and shows me another side of the charcter, and I find her appealing.
There is plotty goodness along with the familial domesticity, and I happily read the series as a WIP. Fortunately for you new readers, it's complete, so you get it all at once.
Tara has done something interesting with the series: she has a slash storyline that complements the gen story, Dark Haven (NC-17), Giles-Jean-Claude, which begins after The Key's Watcher 3: Hunter's Moon. You don't have to read the slash--the gen story stands alone--but Dark Haven makes a good addition to the crossover universe Tara has created. Dark Haven 3 is a WIP, but Tara has been posting regularly.
