Why I am reccing this fic:

Besides the fact that this holds great sentimental value as being the fic that converted me to Fraser/Vecchio, there are just so many good things about this story. The beauty of the surrealness of the dream, the Moby Dick references, and the goofy looking smile that the ending puts on your face and keeps there throughout the day. It is an amazing example of what a good author can do to create a mood with a small amount of words.

Why I am reccing this fic:

I really struggled to pick a favorite among all of her stories, because I don't think that I have read a single one that I haven't liked. But in the end, I chose this one because it is the best of them all. This is a crossover with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and is set post-CotW and during season 4 of Buffy. Everytime I re-read this story, it fills me with awe. She absolutely nails all of the voices, especially Spike. It is beautiful, heart-breaking, and humorous. And despite the pairing, (And the amazingly hot sex) this is really a story about Fraser and Ray K and Spike simply offering his own peculiar brand of relationship therapy. It is a story about love, and forgiveness and second chances. And, you know, Spike/Fraser with handcuffs. That is a really nice icing on this already wonderful cake. *g*
