Why this must be read: I was unsure whether to rec this since Dawn and Kennedy are about the most unliked characters in BtVS, but I had to. It's written beautifully and the characterisation is spot on from the main characters down to the bit parts.

Best of all, it brings out the geek in me since, like Kennedy, I seriously dig geek chicks. Best of all, I love fics where Dawn is shown as capable and intelligent.

Kennedy blamed Willow. Dating rules said that even if it was a good break-up and you’d stayed friends and whatever, you had to blame your ex for everything, and wasn’t her Watcher always saying Kennedy needed to learn about following rules? She said that all the time, right between “there’s no ‘I’ in Slayer” and “ancient mystical samurai swords are not toys, Kennedy. No, not even if Santa left it for you.”

Willow had turned her onto geek chicks, so it was Willow’s fault that she was here a year later, watching Dawn catalogue books and wondering how bad - how good? - a response she’d get if she just threw her onto the library table and licked the nearest accessible piece of skin.
