Legend by Marcus Rowland (G)
Fandom: BUFFY
Pairing: none

ffutures
Author Website: Forgotten Futures
Why this must be read:
An outside POV of the worlds we know is always an interesting ride: in this story, the author takes that premise and runs with it.
As time passes and the world changes, what do people really know about what went down in Sunnydale? Watch as the years go by and the memories shift, facts are replaced with fiction and perspectives are altered up to a point you will not believe.
There have already been several attempts to fictionalize the last days of Sunnydale, the otherwise ordinary Californian town that was destroyed by the collapse of an underground cave system four years ago. This ambitious semi-autobiographical first novel, aimed at the young adult market, is a fusion of fantasy and magical realism in which high school students rub shoulders with demons, the narrator's sister Billie is secretly in love with a vampire, and the town literally falls into Hell. The author, genuinely one of the survivors of Sunnydale, moved there from Los Angeles with her mother and sister in 1996 and was only seventeen at the time of the town's destruction. Nevertheless the story's factual content seems to be entirely accurate; shorn of its fantastic trappings it would be an excellent account of the last few years of this town, and the violence (believed to have been triggered by toxic fumes from the caves beneath the town) that marred its final days.
