As part of the Alice in Wonderland/Rabbithole day craziness, sdwolfpup's journal has been turned over to the pure love of Buffy and Owen (from season 1's Never Kill a Boy on the First Date)

This works out nicely for me, because I love the episode, love Owen and his proto-Rileyness, and I got to snag me a snazzy new icon. Offy 4eva.

:ponders what might have been:


ETA: suddenly thought of a variation on the rants meme. Sort of. Gimme a pairing, I'll burble about why they're awesome, even if it's Angel/Clem.

Randomly surfing by to enquire what you make of Connor/Dawn...

It's on the list of pairings that I've always meant to write but somehow never managed to. They're both close to the top of my list of favourite characters and they've got parallels coming out of their *ears* - like Dawn, Connor was put into a family and everyone's memory changed so he'd always been there, but unlike her he had a life prior to that, and there's all sorts of interesting things could come out of that...

There's also the metaphysics. Neither of them should exist (child of two vampires, mystical energy made human) and they were specifically created for - I was going to write 'evil' but come to think of it, the Key was made Dawn-shaped and sent to Buffy to prevent Glory from opening the rift between dimensions and ending all existence. Connor's birth was manipulated by Jasmine, who you could look at as a great evil or a great good.

Add into the mix the fact that they're both teenagers, they have similar personalities (post-Origin, anyway) and the history between his dad and her sister... yeah, there needs to be more Connor/Dawn.

Totally. I have found a few that were quite good, but not nearly enough.

Connor/Dawn Have you checked out honorh's new WIP "Past Perfect" over on FanFic.Net? Connor/Dawn pairing. Also, hjcallipygian has a Connor/Dawn pairing in his WIP, "Of Those Chosen: The Dreamless". I recommend both.
If you like Connor, you'll love masqthephlsphr's WIP "The Destroyer".
