More like Buffy/Immortal ... I'd managed to forget that until
you brought it up... gee.. thanks %-). That may be Angel "canon"
but it certainly isn't Buffy "canon"... we have no idea what
really was going on there.

Dawn's a tricky one here. Dawn and Spike had some sort of
relationship in the series starting from the end of Season 5
thru Season 6 but it always seemed paternalistic to me.

The only one that makes any sense at all in your list is
Dawn/Connor but the only possible connection between them is a
very flimsy connection thru Buffy and Angel. In canon there is
absolutely nothing to hang a Dawn/Connor ship on other than
wishful thinking...

Other than a potential or two or someone Dawn went to school
with in Sunnydale, who is there that is "age-appropriate" for a
Dawn pairing? 

Any other Dawn pairing (Faith, Xander (ick), and Tara seem
popular) would have to be set in serious AU territory long after
BtVS Season 7/ Angel Season 5. Or jump into crossover territory
to pair her with someone else. 

I've seen three Dawn/Faith pairings that worked but either Faith
was younger than canon or Dawn was much older than we've seen
her in canon (a future AU) for it to work.

Tara only works if you kill of Willow somehow and set the fic in
the future (and manage to get past the age issue even then)

Dawn/Xander? Let's just not go there... %-)
