Mystical Recharge by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stormwreath - Season 9 Willow/Dawn, mature. story that began during a conversation he and I had in his review of S9.19 "Welcome To the Team" about Willow's return to Buffy's story: "Giving the mystical battery inside Dawn a magical recharge sounds exactly like something she'd do to save the day. (It also sounds like the plot of a PWP femslash smut fic.)" he said. I challenged him to write it; he cheerfully complied. DO NOT read this whilst eating or drinking unless you have a death wish of some sort.
FYI: I don't enjoy the comics (to put it mildly). I do enjoy his reviews. In fact, I prefer his reviews; the comics aren't canon to me but they are to him, and so he is able, in his descriptions, to find the "Buffy of it" in ways that I'm unable to see or feel for myself. It's a bit like being a kid, asking an adult to "read me a story" long after I can damn well read it for myself and have the entire book memorized anyway. The point isn't the text by itself, but the storyteller, and the three-way interaction: text, teller, listener (or reader) that makes storytelling and sharing with one another so important.
