This is really hard for me. Because I'm mad about both of your Yuletide fics this year--I know you weren't happy with the main one, but I loved it. Your style fit the fandom just perfectly, and it was happy and warm. And the crossover one with FF was just crazy awesome with your River voice. Ah!
And I've recently fallen in love with "Children's Tales" because Spike&Dawn and Daddy!Spike in the same fic makes me flail with joy. OH I LOVE IT.
But I do have to go with "Seraph" because you know you hit all my kinks--gender-bending and Spike&Dawn and Spike&Buffy friendship and BABYFIC YES I LOVE IT. I think my favorite chapter might be 20, with the knife-throwing and Dawn realizing this is all bigger and darker than she thought, and she's kind of out of her depth but they still can't deny how much they mean to each other.
This is the part that sums it all up for me:
“I do hate you,” she said softly. She kept her eyes off his face; she didn’t want to watch it break. “I hate you, because...” Sniffle. Crap, why was she always crying in front of him? “Because you killed that guy and you don’t even care, and you killed all those other people, too. Like... thousands of them?”
“Close enough,” he said.
“And you don’t care about them, either, and you’re evil, just like everyone says, and...” She scowled with hot, stinging eyes out at the lawn. “And you’re still my best friend.”
