Why this must be read: This post-series set of stories made me addicted to Buffy/Gunn. The stories take place in a heaven-like dimension complete with IHOP and movie theaters. While Lilah and Wesley are plotting a hostile takeover, Buffy and Gunn are having fun together and generally enjoying their afterlives. Twinkledru's dialog is snappy, and she has a great grip on characterization. These stories are both fun and well-crafted.

"This," she says, with a shrug. She reaches out and indicates their surroundings. "This... world, or dimension, or whatever the hell it is. What is it? I mean, it's not heaven, 'cuz that's where I was when Lilah came to talk to me, but I'm pretty sure it's not Hell, either, because that's where she and Wesley are, right? I mean," she continues, tilting her head thoughtfully, "apart from the fact that it's just us, no Dawn or Angel or anyone else who's still alive, this is pretty much the same as the world we came from."

Gunn frowns a little, too, swinging her hand in his. "I don't know," he admits. "Maybe kind of a holding pattern. I think mostly Wes and Lilah want to make sure they've got people in all different universes. Ready to ride and spread the alarm, you know?"

"Oh, my god, you did not just quote Longfellow at me," Buffy says, looking at Gunn with her eyebrow raised. "You big dork."

Could Be Purgatory and ...And a Whole Lotta Crazy Crap on the Walls
