Why this must be read: This series is one of the best epics I've read in this fandom, especially in the Angel/Spike niche of it. It's also by far one of the best post-NFA epics I've read. Angel and Spike are in a relationship, and its sweet and functional and absolutely adorable while the two retain their characters. Their characterization is perhaps a little lighter than most are accustomed to, and I have a few nitpicks with it, but in general, I just love this series because it has the porn, and the fluff, and the PLOT. Woah. One of the best things about this series is how kuzibah manages to balance the plot and the relationship - neither of them ever overshadows the other, and I don't find myself being bored by the plot and skipping straight to the smut or vice versa.

She doesn't neglect the other NFA survivors either - Gunn and Illyria all get endings that are original, surprising and yet strangely fitting to their characters. Wesley and Connor also have their own important roles to play in this story, and the characters get a wonderful epilogue in the Christmas Cards 2004 series.
