Epilogue by snow puppies (PG)

Fandom: Buffy, the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: Dawn/Xander
Length: 3,685
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] snowpuppies
Author Website: Fic Masterlist

Why this must be read: This story is set in a universe where everything magical has been sucked out of the world, leaving Dawn and Xander to pick up the pieces. Dawn/Xander is a new 'ship but this goes back to 2008, before anyone believed it would ever happen. Snowpuppies does a fantastic job of communicating what its like when you've lost everything and you're the only ones left. She portrays the sadness, the guilt and the acceptance in a very human way. The characterisations of both characters are wonderful and her writing is something to behold. It's also won a few awards, if I'm not mistaken.
