Warning: Contains non-graphic rape scene.
Why this must be read: This story is half set in Fred's time in Pylea, and half in Lorne's time as overseer of part of post-apocalyptic L.A. (part of comic canon). It adds the most amazing depth to both Fred and Lorne, painting those familiar characters over with extra dimensions that grow organically from their canon characterizations.
spuffyduds manages to render an impressively wide spectrum of emotions in this piece without feeling overwrought in the least; she gives each feeling its fullest expression and dramatic power, so that you can feel your heart break with absolute clarity only moments after having your breath taken away by a wave of fond amusement. That facility with depicting emotion allows the sublime, devastating mix of love and grief that forms the foundation of this story to gut you in the best possible way.
