Why this must be read: This is a post-apocalyptic AU that is absolutely brilliant. The author takes the tropes and cliches of the apocalypse/dystopia theme and somehow makes the entire story completely unpredictable. The set-up is basically, American Idol Season 8 happened and then the world went to hell; the story is about what comes next. This story is twisted, bizarre, and heart-breaking with absolute genius world-building. The imagery and characters really do make you feel like this place exists. The author also manages to imbue a little hope into the darkest of places. Kris and Adam's relationship grows because of how much they need each other despite of (or because of) how damaged they both are. I remember getting to the end of this story and just being completely stunned at how amazing it was. Everyone should read this, even if you have no idea what American Idol is or who these people are, the story is just that good.

She also wrote a very small sequel that is a MUST read for after the main story. It is just as disturbing and insanely awesome: Diamond Dogs
