Barb's BtVS FanficWhy this must be read: This fic is part of Barb's ongoing universe, but stands alone really well, I think. In this story, an as-yet uninvolved Buffy and Spike run into an older version of themselves, who seem to have gotten a whole hell of a lot closer than expected. I love how excellently Barb captures Buffy's voice - both internal and external - in this story. Buffy is so delightfully herself here, as is Spike. Also, Barb perfectly strikes that awesome balance between light and dark that was always such a sterling hallmark of canon writing in Buffy.
