Why this must be read: This story created quite a stir in the Buffy fandom when it was posted because, as you'd expect from a story inspired by Nevil Shute's "On the Beach," it's premise is one of nuclear apocalypse. It's dark, tragic, and wonderful.

this is seriously the best fic i've ever read. i printed it out and bound it a few years ago when i first read it, and still find it every bit as amazing now. it seeps into your veins and fills you up inside in the same way that it's inspiration, "On The Beach", does.

Yes, it blew me away too. And I couldn't believe it hadn't been recced on the van before, but it was certainly my pleasure to rectify that :)
