Why this must be read:
Sadly, this is an "abandoned" story, but it leaves off in a good enough place that it's still well worth reading. Well worth it.
Ultimately, maybe my favorite of Gemma's fever-dream, twisted-canon AU stories (because it's the most Keller-centric one, and what can I say, I am a Keller girl at heart). It's like Gemma takes canon events, and throws them into a blender, whipping up a fresh concoction from all the same ingredients.
In this universe, Beecher is still actively pragged to Vern Schillinger when Keller arrives in Oz -- so, no "Operation Toby" here. But, Keller being Keller, seduction must be afoot...

Yes, Vern owned Beecher about as completely as it was possible to own someone. But Chris knew something that Vern, apparently, had forgotten.
(Anything you own and can't let go of, owns YOU.)
And after all, if there was one thing Chris had a particular talent for, it was... insinuating himself into someone's affection. For all Vern's power -- perhaps *because* of Vern's power -- Schillinger didn't know nearly as much as Keller did about subtlety. About manipulating, rather than crushing, someone's emotions. About seducing allegiance rather than commanding it.
(You can mess with their minds, Vern, and fuck with their bodies. But when it comes to putting hooks into somebody's heart, their soul... that's MY ball park. And you just ain't in my league.)
