Summary: Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end ("Closing Time" by Semisonic)

This fic does something fairly rare, I think. It makes Astoria a sympathetic person. Someone is ill, and someone is an end of life healer. The author handles all of it tastefully, showing how big a heart Astoria has. In this magical world where death is usually so sudden and unplanned for and tragic, it's nice to find a story where 'death as a natural part of life' occurs with dignity. It's an angsty journey, but well worth the read!
