Re: Late comment is late

No offense to Italian fandom but the limit of interests is canon pairings? BORED NOW

I don't have direct links but if you search Faith/Dawn or Dawn/Faith at AO3 you can find some; or just check out brutti_ma_buoni's or beer_good_foamy's fic if you haven't already. BGF is an awesome Dawn writer anyway.

I see Dawn as being more flexible or nonchalant about her sexuality even though there's no proof of that in canon - it's.
fanon. But she's a W/T shipper, whereas that wasn't even on Buffy' radar until Willow came out. Things have changed rather rapidly; I didn't come out of the closet until my 20's whereas my sister, who is eight years younger than me, had friends who came out in high school and even younger and it was no big deal to her.

I can't ship Dawn with Xander mostly because of the "family" vibe esp S7. (Buffy/Giles shipping mystifies me!) Eurydice72's post-series Spuffy fic A Stone's Throw from Yesterday is an exception; her Dawn is mature and believable and calls Xander out on his shit.

Some writers ship Dawn/Andrew but that's a huge NO for me. She deserves better.

And I kind of feel the same way about "Fuffy" as a smushname as I do about "Spuffy" - too close to "fluffy" and too cutesy for those very dark and twisted ships; but I don't think Baith is an improvement in English. Although maybe you should do a poll!
