Why this must be read:
This is another one of those gennish slash stories that I find appealing. Angel/Oz is a rare pairing; it could work, two quiet guys with so much going on beneath the surface, keeping one another company. I guess I consider Oz the little black dress of the BtV/Angel fandom--because he's rather an outsider, a lone wolf with his own agenda, he works well in many fandoms as a crossover character, although I think his characterization is hard to get right. This story works on more than one level: as a character study of future, post-series Oz; as an exploration of why someone might choose to withdraw to a peaceful life even though there are more worthy battles to be fought; as a melancholy look at the past. The setting of this story is so vivid that I can absolutely see Oz living this life.
