My aim is to insert Dawn into seasons 1-4 while remaining canon-compliant, as the monks had done to everyone's memories, concentrating mostly on Spike and Buffy centric scenes. There may also be some 'off screen' scenes with Buffy and/or Spike during seasons 5, 6, and 7 (depending on the prompt and what idea comes to me). Wish me luck!
