Why this must be read:
I love this little thing far, far more than could ever be remotely healthy. I mean... dude.
Okay.
There's a sub-genre of fan-fiction that's immensely tempting to me, though often more trouble than it's worth. That's what happens when a writer finds some old fairy tale or another and does their best to craft it into something that could be used for their fandom of choice. More often than not, sadly, the results lead to unintentional comedy and a general sense of WTF?
Not so here, where the myth is used as just one more piece of the story -- impressive, considering how short the story is -- as one small fraction of what makes the characters who they are.
I seem to have found myself using my time as a crack_van reccer to offer one piece of canon at a time, one character at a time, and this is no different.
This beautiful, blackly funny, *twisted* little story is one of the best looks at Sabretooth I've *ever* read. It's a mindfuck and it is, to me, the absolute truth in terms of both how Sabretooth looks at the world and how he *lives* in it.
And I am enthralled.
