Why this must be read:

When the series came back last year, it was obvious a large amount of the Doctor's life had been skipped, what with the new body and the Time War and all. And judging by interviews with the current production team, it looks like that isn't going to change much any time soon, meaning that the time between the end of the movie/books/audios/[insert personal canon here] and Rose is going to remain somewhat of a mystery to us. Which is in certain ways, a bit disappointing - especially for fans of the Eighth Doctor.

This fic covers a short amount of this time, showing us an immediately pre-Time War Eighth Doctor, having one last day of happiness before it all comes crashing down. It's brief, but beautiful, with wonderful characterisation of this Doctor (you can see he's the same guy who kissed Grace just for the joy of it), full of hope and life, and yet with just a touch of sadness to him. And the cameos from assorted characters are utterly wonderful.

Why this must be read:
Most of my recs this time have been lighter. Although I have a slight preference for fun stories in BtVS/AtS, I also like the darkness of the Buffyverse, so here's one that fits that profile. In this story, Giles challenges Angel to a saber fight, and their past makes it all too real. I needed this resolution for Giles regarding what Angelus did to him, and in a way I think Angel needed it, too; otherwise, he's ignoring a part of himself, and that could prove dangerous.
