man, it's total crazy family dynamics... perfect... and insane.
I always thought Dawn being made from Buffy alone didn't quite make sense.... And JM and MT look far more alike than MT and SMG.

Excellent chapter, I'm never really sure when Spike turns out to be Dawn's dad, but this was so well written. Really, can't say more than that!!
Thanks

Oh, major wiggage, indeed! And Willow.... still doesn't get it, does she?
My Willow is a Bangel shipper. This colours her perspective on many things....

Whoa! That spell with people reacting around when Dawn was put in sounds like the obelisk being a spark in 2001: Space Odyssey. Not something easy to wrap your head around but wonderful explanation.
Thank you!
I thought a long time about what would have to happen to insert a person into the world's past - I mean, she'd need everyone in schools, doctor's offices, blah blah to remember her being there, and to share any already-created memories with each other. A bit of spell hanging over her for her whole life weaving all those ends together seemed the only option....

Nicely handled, that could have gone a lot worse. Great job with twitchy Willow being so suitably snide.
(Obviously as the author I'd say this, but....) I think that was as bad as it could have been given everyone's positions going in.
Dawn and Bohdan clearly were not going to create a fuss, and Buffy is way too caught up in her own issues at this point to start on other ones.
When Buffy suggests to Xander in canon S5 that Spike might love her, he thinks it's hilarious. Later, he tells everyone he feels sorry for him because he's been tortured and lost the bot all at the same time. His hatred and freaking in canon S6 (I think) is entirely down to the events of Entropy and Seeing Red. In my world, he's just had his epiphany that Spike cared about Dawn when he (and everyone else) couldn't/didn't, and he genuinely feels badly about himself for that, and grateful to Spike. He was never going to be *that* upset about a Spike/Dawn link.
Giles and Tara see Spike as the practical solution to too many things, and are both willing to just go with that, regardless of their feelings. Plus, neither of them are given to throwing public fits.
Anya genuinely likes Spike, and has a relationship with him entirely separate from everyone else, so she's hardly going to kick off.
Willow is the only voice there who can express the doubts that *everyone* genuinely has. I was trying to write her questions and concerns as being the ones any sane, sensible person would have when told that a young person they cared about had a vampire for a father. I mean, seriously, it's weird....
