I, apparently, like all apocalypses. But it's lovely to hear that you like mine. *g* (I haven't read yours yet! I've been saving it for a day when I really need good bleak comforting early-season AU post-apocalypticness.)

I'm so glad you enjoyed. Spike was indeed a rather convenient POV character for me, as I haven't quite ironed out all of what happened, either, although there are specific events I know of that keep getting referenced.
