It's got a fabulous portrayal of Jo (as I said to the author, this is the Jo that I'd always hoped - and still hope - to see on the show), Faith is fantastic, as is Angel, Willow, Buffy, everyone! It's long and plotty and heartbreaking and gorgeous. I mean, I love the Jo/Faith aspect of the story (because, HELLO, HI HI HOTNESS), but it's the actual plot that makes this story for me: Jo, feeling a bit adrift and uncertain after BUaBS, makes her way to California, to the place where her father died, intending to clean it up. While there, she runs into some of the local Slayerettes, and gets taken in by them and Angel - and can I just say that one of my favorite images from the story is picturing Angel surrounded by hundreds of Slayerettes. Just...hee! Fabulous all around.
