The disclaimer is gonna be longer than the damn story, but here goes:
Characters copyright Joss Whedon & Marvel Comics, respectively. Shadowlands concept copyright Alicia McKenzie. This was written without her stamp of approval, and lord know there's enough of this type of crossover out there already, but I couldn't resist...
NOTE: A drabble, according to Doctor Who fandom, is a story exactly 100 words long. Which, as said, is probably shorter than this disclaimer. But hey, people liked it, I'm posting it. Smile. :) Drabble incoming, twelve o'clock high...

The redhead fell silent, wringing her hands in her lap. Across the campfire, the gaunt blond reacted for the first time since the story had begun -- she nodded, thoughtfully. "I suppose that makes sense, in a comic-booky sort of way." She looped her arm around the lump of blankets next to her. "Did you hear that, hon?"
The blankets shifted. Dull, hopeless eyes peered from a grimy face streaked with countless dried tears.
"But I thought it was all my fault," Dawn Summers whispered into the shifting firelight.
