Why this must be read:
Vivere - "to be alive." What does that mean, in any sense other than the biological? As Cordelia says in this, "God knows there are plenty of people with heartbeats who make the journey from maternity ward to funeral parlour without ever really being alive." Rheanna fastforwards eight years after the events of S2's "Epiphany" to the future Angel Investigations, where everyone involved is still learning family, belonging, identity - living.
Five chapters. Five different POVs (and one surprise sixth for the epilogue). People getting through the day, moving forward, learning to be themselves, to be part of something, to be family. Rheanna does amazing work adjusting the language of each chapter very subtly, so that each person's voice is unmistakable and true. This one will stick with you.
