Why this must be read:
Toft is probably the best new writer B7 fandom has gained in the best few years. This recent fic is a good example of her gorgeous, evocative writing style--the otherworldly setting really makes her work shine. It's a series of visions and dreams in the possible afterlife, but true to the spirit of B7, certain characters manage to make a heaven into hell and vice versa. And yet, this haven of dream-logic and poetry is not either. Hope and desperation both dwell here and time bends back on itself. I particularily like the subtle changes in writing style between different incarnations of the same characters, but to give you more detail would be spoiling. And yeah, the characters are just right--Blake being his stubborn self and hoping against all odds, Avon as cynical as ever, and Jenna and Vila ring true as well. This is really the fanfic form of chocolate, best savoured slowly and indulgently.
