Why this must be read: penknife is one of the best authors in this fandom, hands down. I try not to rec authors more than twice in one run, but I'll probably be breaking that rule this month because it is so difficult to choose from among these amazing fics. This is one of my favorite fics in the fandom because Helen, John, James and Ashley all sitting together at the dinner table trying to make it through the meal without killing each other during Revelations Part 1 is possibly the fic I've been waiting for my entire life (well, at least since I started watching Sanctuary). This fic is done from Henry's POV, which is so perfect because although Henry sees everything going on before him, he isn't able to connect all the pieces - penknife leaves it up to the readers to put it together for themselves. penknife pays attention to all the little details, which are at times hilarious. As Ashley puts it, this is the world's most awkward family reunion and it's just awesome.
