Why this must be read: I've already waxed poetic about Antenna's Ethan so I'll just get on to the story. I would have, at one point, said I'd never read Dawn/Ethan because it never really appealed to me. But, I trust Antenna and she doesn't disappoint. This is part of a larger story arc, but I
 think it stands alone very well.  Dawn goes looking for a job and finds one in a bookstore run by Ethan. Even when she finds out who he really is, she stays and doesn't tell Buffy. Together they get to the heart of what it means for Dawn to be "The Key". I was never satisfied with the way the show just dropped this aspect of who Dawn is and this story provides a really intriguing answer. If you'd never thought about this pairing, I really suggest this story.
