Why this must be read:
Kita and Jess take on season 6 - Spike/Buffy, returning from Heaven, depression, alienation, fucked-up despairing sex, and oh, all the angry, hurting emotional trauma all around. Distill out the wacky hijinks of the geek triumvirate and the bad "magiks = drugs" metaphors, and you've got what was best about the season - the shock of a heroine profoundly broken, boatloads of moral greyness, hard questions and no easy answers, with the raw factor kicked up a couple of notches. Spike dealing (or not) with the grieving. The funeral. The resurrected Buffy and Angel conversation we never saw. Spike trying to be alive and Buffy trying to be dead, and all the messy, selfish, painful reasons why.
There's too many reasons to love this story (in a painful, digging under your skin kind of way), but this line is one of them:
of your fucked-up life: defanged vampire standing in the Hellmouth's largest grocery store with the dead Slayer's best friend's recently un-brainsucked girlfriend, arguing about your responsibility towards a teenager who doesn't technically exist. He should have fucking stayed in Prague.
