Why this must be read:
One of the joys that is unique to fandom, I think, is seeing one story spark another with any degree of immediacy. This series began with one writer wanting to expand on the ideas explored by another and I think that makes it a joy to read. There is a sense of build-up throughout the series and Marianna's 'Max to the Max' more than delivers on the promise of its predecessors. Increasingly dark and twisted, yet every shade of hot, this series is one of my favorite Roswell reads.

These are all fairly dark takes on the Roswell universe following "Destiny":
Peppermint Illusions by Laure Alexander - In which Liz discovers cold comfort.
Hard Candy by Shimi - In which we get Nasedo's take on things.
Chocolate Promises by Mala - In which some ideas are blown right out of the water.
Max to the Max by Marianna - In which the object of desire finally gets his say.
