Yes – it’s the adventures of Vampire Dawn! Done as a series of quickly read 100word drabbles, because... well, I’m lazy, dammit. And also because it's fun to see just how much plot I can concentrate into 100 words. Crossover with Angel s3. COMPLETED.

"Well... duh, you're evil. Listen, this is important: Spike said he smelled blood on you. Did you kill anyone?"

"Yeah! Riley, and his wife!"

"Oh, Dawn..." Buffy smiled gratefully. Then she spoke slowly, as if to a child. "Riley's... in... South... America. You're so hungry you can't even lie convincingly... so you can't have killed anybody. I'm so proud of you!"
