Boy From the County Hell by Maya Tawi (PG-13)

Fandom: ANDROMEDA
Pairing: Harper, Beka/Bobby
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] mayatawi
Author Website: zippos and safety pins
Why this must be read: Harper & Beka first meetings are something of a genre unto themselves in Andromeda fandom, despite (or possibly because of) the show giving us its own canon version of how things went down.

Boy From the County Hell focuses on Harper's side of the story, and on the stark reality of his life on Earth before he meets Beka. Maya Tawi's first person Harper voice is spot on, a bit younger and rougher than the Harper we know on the show, but still as sarcastic and brilliant and lovable as ever. His interactions with Beka ring with the beginnings of something great, and the subtle detail of the decaying world around them is enough to pull even the most distant reader into Harper's world.
