I really think this is what being a Watcher means to Dawn (and to Giles): as I put it in another ficlet, braving purgatory to win others their chances in heaven. (Note that this is also what the Operative in Serenity saw himself as doing.) Here we get to see her impatience with a Watcher unwilling to make the same sacrifice. This particular scene has actually been pretty vivid in my head for sometime now.
Watcher!Dawn is, of course, very close to my heart, so I'm glad that you enjoy these ficlets too. Thank you!
