Angel, Billy
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Angel was already dead when he went to hell.

No, he was undead.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Still, dying wasn't what got him to hell. His animation status was unchanged.

I recall a lot of use of the words "hell dimension", I thought they were trying to shy away from the use of the christian "heaven" and "hell"

In a Christian universe, Anya goes to purgatory. That's the place for righteous unbelievers, right?
If it's binary -- heaven or hell -- I think it's hell because she never repented, which makes me sad.

Isn't purgatory only what Catholics believe?

Yep. No Purgatory in the Protestant 'verse. Not sure about the Eastern Orthodox churches, though.

I can't even.

I love Anya, but I can't see her getting into heaven without some special intervention. There's no repenting/shriving/whatever, and there's no indication of any acceptance of JHC as her lord and saviour (or any mental disposition thereto). Needs a big wanky handwave, IMO.
