So, so, so well-written. When I glanced through it to check out the length, my eyebrow rose at the lack of dialogue. When I started reading, my other eyebrow joined the first at the monologue style. Not easy things to write. When I was less than halfway through, my eyebrows were down again because I was concentrating too much on the fic to play with my facial muscles...
It was Xander through and through. I like the rambling, at times straying off topic style of talking. Spike as mini Mowgli! Gawd! What a phrase! What a description! I don't think I've read anyone else carry off such oddness in dressing for Spike so very damn well. Xander understanding Angel and Spike... I like the insight. Talia...heart-wrenching image. The rogue slayer... *shudders* Spike as a demon fire elemental thingie... Damn interesting. Just...the entire image of Xander traveling through Africa like that... It's amazing. Very well described. All the little details and harsh, realistic setting... Reading this fic was like watching a rich, vibrant amazingly detailed tapestry unroll before me... I adored this. I adore your fics. Now I'll just lean back and adore you too... ^_^
