Mostly I don't feel the need to insert Dawn into earlier eps in my head canon, although I appreciate stories that do it well, but Dawn in S3 w/ Faith? Yes, please.
I don't have a pressing need to do it, but I'm enthusiastic when someone else does. And these gifsets are fantastic.
With the images of Buffy talking to Giles in the Gift? Yes, that is heartbreaking. But it's also interesting on a meta level -it emphasizes the fact that Willow was Buffy's metaphorical "little sister" in the early seasons (I always wondered if on some level Willow didn't also carry some resentment for being displaced, whether she was aware of it or not? I'm sure that's a big fat fanwank on my part - or maybe not, depending how you read Wrecked and TTG/Grave.)
... I think you just blew my mind a little. FTR if it's fanwank, I kinda like it.
