Why this must be read:
Gunn, Fraser and Dief. Driving around, fighting evil - and eating pizza - in a big truck. This is set post-CotW in dS and veers off the Angel timeline sometime in S5. Gunn and Fraser are so themselves, both of them slightly broken but still functional, still getting along. Although the two of them together are fighting the good fight with the slightly dark humour of both series, there's undercurrents of how each of them got to where they are.
The voices of all three are dead on - Fraser particularly in his silences as much as his speech, Gunn in his pride in his truck and the echoes of LA and Dief playing with the zombies.
It worked into a pretty good pattern after about a month or so on the road. Gunn followed the pull in his head to something worth fighting, and Fraser and Diefenbaker came along for the ride and the kill. Anything near Chicago or within fifty miles of the Canadian border would earn a long quiet moment and a neutral "I'd prefer not to, Charles," but that was cool. No need to push. There was always more evil out there.
Vampires--the only person he'd ever seen talk a vamp to a standstill for staking the way Fraser did was Faith the Slayer. If he hadn't been sharing hotel rooms with the guy, he might've had a few suspicions about him having secret chick-with-superpowers status.
Zombies--not zombie lawyers, thankfully, but still the shambling undead. Gunn preferred his undead a little quicker on their feet. Dief seemed to think zombies were a great game; he got to use all kinds of hunting-wolf moves that Fraser evaluated as "out of practice" and "your pack would starve" even as he hacked away at his own opponents.
