I see no man on a pale horse, yet Death rides for us all.
It was the apocalypse no one saw coming. Now, longtime enemies must become allies, friends become foes, and death really is waiting around every corner. A tale of death, sacrifice, more death, the human (and not so human) heart, even more death, black humor, and the end of the world as we know it.

Story Notes:The main pairing of this story is Spike/Buffy, but they are not in every chapter. There are and will be several secondary pairings that develop and are just as important to the story as the primary one. Also, there are also multiple character deaths throughout this story. This is dark comedy - a lot of death and angst mixed with humor. Fair warning.
Thank you to the wonderful friends who betad this and demanded more: Spikeslovebite and Schehrezade. Without them, it would not have been as fun for us, nor as polished.
P.S. Did we mention the character deaths?

Please note: If you enjoyed this story, you may be interested in the back story for Faith that was written. Although it is not necessary for this story, it is canon to this story and takes place in this universe. How did Faith get to the point where she was running out blindly?
