Why this must be read:

Andy said it all in her comment about this fic: "Deeply twisted and oh-so-wrong, but beautifully lyrical." It really really is. I tend to skitter away from dark-fic and incest fic (neither squicks me particularly, but there is a certain amount of discomfort that leads me to generally avoid both genres) but this one is an exception. Retelling Sam Tyler's story through the lens of a broken fairy tale, it is a gut wrenching look at the worst-case "might have been" for the show. *shudders* But oh so beautifully done...
