Why This Must Be Read: The author combines two fictional universes for a brilliant telling of two kick-ass heroines, Dawn Summers and Jeannie McKay. It's a post-apocalyptic road trip with Dawn, Jeannie, two kids and a cat. The opening scenes with Dawn in Cleveland in particular are effectively creepy, without being overly laden with darkness and despair. Dawn and Jeannie are fabulous characters and general_jinjur really does a great job with both of them, balancing the shock and horror of their situation with the practical resourcefulness they both display in canon.


When Dawn wakes up, it's with a jolt and a yelp. There's cold coffee dripping off her arm, and the sight of the spreading pool on the table is enough to make her move fast, jerking her shirt over her head and throwing it down as a barrier between the liquid and the texts that cover most of the surface.

Apparently, both of the sites linked are no longer valid, at least according to Safari (though that could just be Safari *shrugs*). Anywho, here’s a link to the story over on AO3. https://archiveofourown.org/works/16456553 It’s been a bit since I’ve read this and I plan to read it this evening. Thanks for the rec!
