This was a difficult one to write, mostly because I had to get across so much information without bogging it down. The twist of Dawn reaping Buffy was all nothorse, and since that was a key element of Dawn's arc in her drabbles it had to go there. My job was to re-write the scene so that George would be sympathetic enough to let Dawn do it.

Part of it was because George grabbed Xander's post-it for admittedly less noble reasons, like covering her ass. Although her other motivation for laying down the groundwork so she could tell Dawn about why Xander missed her funeral is less selfish.
