Two more from the fabulous fialka. and those who love (PG-13) and Sundown (NC-17) are both post-Fin and both are haunting and absolutely exquisite. These two could be sequential with Sundown first in the order as Gabrielle travels back from Jappa. There is nothing light and fluffy here, both deal with Gabrielle's emotional devastation and grief. Fialka's descriptive mastery turns Gabrielle's grief and anger into possibly the greatest enemy she has faced. It's obvious Fialka is writing out her own grief and anger at the series' end, which makes the emotion even that more intense and palpable. Have I mentioned that bitter, jaded, warrior!Gabrielle is my kink? Or one of them?

These are marvelously done. Aren't they? These fics are pretty much the bee's knees. The kind of fic that makes my, um, job? a pleasure.
