Two entries to this round

[slaymesoftly]

Time zones being what they are, I have links to two entries for today:

The first one is Dear Friend
by justwriter2. In what appears to be the first of multiple chapters, Buffy considers responding to a request for a penpal. What could go wrong/right?



The second one is 147 Reasons by waddiwasiwitch. This is a one-shot set in season 6 when Buffy is still trying to get used to being alive again. And Dawn is giving her reasons to give Spike a chance.
