A/N: This was my plot bunny for the ficathon:
For Rachel - I enjoy friendshippy Spike/Dawn, particularly post-Buffy's death, with hints of romance.

I hope this is okay, hun.

( Ficathon Entry )

My muse seems to be rejecting the request I was given for the Spike/Dawn ficathon I signed up for.

The request was this:
I enjoy friendshippy Spike/Dawn, particularly post-Buffy's death, with hints of romance. I also like alternate futures that are a bit darker, where Spike and Dawn have an angsty relationship. I like them both to have lots of baggage! But I don't like Dawn to have become too hard – she should still be, you know, Dawn, not some ho-bag.

It needs to be written by the end of Februrary and my brain is blocked for some reason. If any of you can think of some "alternative futures" or any suggestions at all for how I can accomplish this, I would sincerely appreciate it.
