Here's the next fic in my series of prompt-inspired shorts. I decided to be a bit experimental on the POV in this one, which accounts for my use of the second person. I've seen girlpire do it before (with great skill, I might add) and wanted to try it myself. You can let me know if you thought it worked well. Jury's still out on my end.

Title: Wool Over My Eyes
Author: ClawofCat
Timing: Post-NFA (by several years, at least)
Rating: R
Pairing: Dawn/Xander
Warnings: Light BDSM, including bondage, forced orgasm and sexual situations
Summary: Dawns discovers that pain can work both for and against you. The question is: can she channel her loss into strength?

A/N: Written for snowpuppies on the prompts "fabric art" and "a dark place where you have to be quiet." Snowy recently posted a lovely ficlet called The Scarf, which served as inspiration for this piece. Hope you like it, darling.
