Why this must be read:

Fanfic fires on all cylinders when familiar characters are used to explore what was left unexplored (or less explored) in the original work, and when the writing is excellent.  The author accomplishes both with this story, which also transcends the fandom itself to have this universal theme of strength and triumph.  vienna_waits  handles the dark subject matter unflinchingly, yet with sensitivity.  Please read the warnings, however.
