Hi, all! Just a short angsty fic from me today. It's unbeta'd, so do let me know of any mistakes.

Many thanks to enigmaticblues for running this Spuffyfest.

Poignant and touching, and you've nailed Buffy's mindset perfectly. Thank you for sharing! :)

Merci!

if she sat down at a grave because it held a man named William, people asked if she'd fallen. There was nowhere to go with her grief. Nowhere to put it.

So she held the grief at bay. Buried it as best she could.

She owed it to her lo-- ... to at least try to live.

Yes, a perfect snapshot of Buffy at the end.

Thank you. And thanks for the linkage. :)

Great fic. It must have been so odd to them all. One minute, Sunnydale and next, nothing but a hole.

[thisficklemob]

Yes. And these are people who've been through a lot of mind-boggling experiences, but still.

Graves are such an odd thing to miss, but I'm sure they did. I bet Willow missed Tara's.

That was an emotional punch to the gut in the best of ways. Short but powerful. I could really feel her grief here.

[thisficklemob]

That's what I was going for. Thank you very much.
