Inspired by my start on the Fray TPB last night, I thought I would look for some fanfic to compliment it. My incredibly sophisticated technique (type "fray fanfic" into Google and then press ENTER) didn't produce any real results - a few sites, yes, but no fanfic that I could find. Does anybody know of any Fray fanfic - I would be interested on people's take on Melaka, given that we have such a brief snapshot into her life?

I always liked Doug Petrie's writing on BtVS and he keeps in style enough that the Ring of Fire TPB feels like an episode that could have happened. Petrie never wrote the flashy stories nor the gimmicky ones - instead he wrote the arc drivers, as I call them, the ones that got to the heart of that season's main arc and then drove the story on from there.

This book does the same - set late S2, Angelus is in full swing and Spike is still wheelchair bound. We see all the consequences of recent events - Giles is devastated by the loss of Jenny and Buffy is torn apart by guilt, guilt over how Angelus came to reappear and guilt over what he has done upon his return. The story is well written and paced, even though I wish it could have been a little longer, and Sook's art, although not the most accurate rendition, does enough to get the essentials of the characters across and, indeed, adds to the overall feel of the story.

In short, one of the best of the BtVS TPB's with good story and art - a rarity amongst many of the early TPB's, sadly!
