Fiddling while Rome burns

[mific]

I should be finishing my apocafic, and I will, right after this (honest). Also, this is probably the worst time to be writing about apocalypses - coffee shop AU, anyone?

Anyway, I was thinking about the different types of apocafic I've read.

Apocafic

There's an amazing one in the Buffyverse that's a remix of On the Beach. Spike and Buffy are in Australia. Radiation sickness is slowly reaching the populace there, but of course, not affecting Spike (although he's going to go too after all the people are dead.) Even the Slayer finally gets sick.

Damn! It's been years since I read it and I can't remember the name...can anyone identify it? It's very powerful and well-written.

Ooh - angsty!

Got it! It's sooo angsty and bittersweet and heroic and...just go read it here:

Oh, nice pun as well. :)

If you're not sniffling at the end, you're made of better stuff than I am!
