Why this must be read:

On vacation with time to kill? Desperate to escape your family for a stretch? What you need is a good, multichapter epic. Luckily, Tiriel, keeper of The Bookhouse Boys Archive and arguably the grande dame of Twin Peaks online fanfic, has obliged with this retelling of season two from Harry Truman’s perspective (though Cooper gets the first and last words). Tiriel does a great job spotlighting slashy moments from the series, such as this one:

I patted Harry on the shoulder--not an unusual gesture, although, now that I think about it, he and I do seem to touch far more frequently than is strictly necessary, and the boundaries of my personal space seem to be nearly nonexistent where he is concerned...and then--how odd--I can feel myself blushing as I say this, Diane--I tweaked his nose. I am a grown man. Harry is a grown man. I tweaked his nose and made a funny little sound, as if he were a cute child, and I have no idea where the impulse to do it came from. I do know that the next impulse I had, which I did manage to suppress, was the impulse to kiss him.

Best of all, she’s created a plausible and satisfying fix-it for the show’s sucker-punch ending.
