Musical demons with goatees can be awfully persuasive when it comes down to making kooky decisions like, say, smooching the face off your mortal enemy. Thankfully, the curtain has closed on that brief episode of insanity, and all Buffy has to do is… nothing, forget it ever happened and never see Spike again. Easy. 

Dawn‘s brief flirtation with musical theatre has got her wondering about the punkier sides of the Bronze‘s touring bands. Fortunately she‘s found an (un)willing chaperone for the excursion; all Dawn needs to do is… go to a gig and get home safely. Easy. 

Unfortunately for Dawn and Buffy, it‘s a Tuesday. 

Takes place after OMWF and swerves quickly off canon piste from there. 

It’s the first Christmas since Joyce’s death and Spike can’t help but make sure those Summers sisters have a merry ol’ time despite it all. Dawn, however, is determined to spread her own bit of festive cheer - and she ain’t subtle. 

A festive SAD gift for Marinaeulalia.
