Oh my gosh! Talk about starting Seasonal Spuffy off with a bang!
I think I've enjoyed (or maybe "appreciated" is a better term-- you do bring on the angst sometimes!) every story of yours I've read. But this one is particularly compelling. Guh!
You've really captured Buffy's depression and her sense of disconnection from the world here. She can't keep track of time, she can't quite seem to focus; it's just beautifully done, and so very believable.
I like the way you write Angel here. It's an interesting time for him; really one of the few from AtS where things look hopeful for Angel. maybe it gives him more empathy than usual; but I can believe him interacting with Buffy this way. And I love Buffy and Angel talking at cross-purposes. Perfect!
I'm just on my way out the door and so no time to check for the next chapter. But I have it to look forward to tomorrow!
