This was haunting, evocative, and just...fantastic. I read it in the middle of the work day and couldn't even bring myself to comment at the time because I was staring at the screen and trying to shake off the chills. A co-worker interrupted me and I swear all I heard him say was the Wah-Wah-Wah of Peanuts adults.
I'm a sucker for Apocalypse fic...definitely due to my readings and re-readings of The Stand...and this was a gorgeous, aching, homage to both that and On the Beach that stayed so very true to Dick...who is, of course, an unlikeable fuck-up...even at the end of the world...but one who still needs a freakin' hug!
