You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

The evil is this way?

Except they keep saying she's perfectly normal now.

Well, they also viewed Willow's problem with majik as an addiction, then Giles said at the beginning of this season that they were wrong. If Dawn touched the Scythe and got a vibe off of it, then they could have re-examined their theory about her no-longer-Keyness. Or the nice White-haired lady could have told them. Or W&H's documents could have explained it.

Recipe for Slayerness - Sharing:

Mix:

1 tablespoon Slayer blood from each Slayer

Dash of (former) pure energy mixed with Slayer blood.

Then stir in bright light from one Wicca.

Makes thousands.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But, surely, until someone contradicts it onscreen it's not a fanwank, so much as a canon modification?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What I want to know is why they didn't wait to open the seal until after the spell had worked. Far less danger of everyone being killed, you know?

My assumption was that the First would know what they were doing and send the Bringers after them once the spell started. There would be casualties up top and no organized stand in the Hellmouth. So, they needed to get into position and count on Willow to pull the spell off. They were going to have to go down to the Hellmouth and take the fight to the Baddies in any event.

Everyone says that they keep saying that Dawn's perfectly normal now. All I remember was a single line at the beginning of season six, and the person speaking wasn't exactly stating a categorical fact so much as a "far as we can tell". I'm willing to be shown other examples, of course. I did watch season six in the span of two weeks.

Plus, there's another aspect to Dawn besides (former) Key-ness: quasi-existence. If Buffy went into another No Place Like Home trance, would Dawn (or at least pictures of her pre-BvsD) no longer fade in and out of view?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I recall two references to her being normal post-gift, and one pre-Gift implying she was normal except for one specific (time-dependent) purpose. Which she's past.

But I'm completely specifics free.

Uh, this has been contradicted on-screen. How may "Gay nows" does it take? Plus she hooked up with another woman after Tara died. The ratio says heading down gay lane. And I couldn't be happier :)

Yeah. I know. Such was my point. That's what makes it canon modification (or unreliable narration, if we're being especially gracious to me).
