Why this must be read:  This, this is a dark fic in places, but ultimately it's about finding redemption and finding love. Buffy is dead. Spike never came back after he went to Africa but he's returning to Sunnydale when he hears the news. He's got a couple of strays (one human, one canine) in tow. He finds the Hellmouth a different place and the people he knew very changed. Tara is running the Magic Shop and they renew their tentative friendship which slowly, gently turns to more. Spike and Tara understand each other in ways the other Scoobies couldn't.  I should also warn that if you like Xander, beware, he's not bashed, but after what he's gone through before this story happens, I understand the motivations he has in this fic and why the author did what she did.
