Why this must be read: For me the strength of any AU lies in the way the characters are treated. They should be recognizable as themselves but different. There always should be the thought in my head that this might be possible.
This story shows how taking the characters out of canon and into a different and strange situation can highlight their essential characteristics. All of them are so very much themselves.

This story's strength doesn't lie in the characterization alone though. The plot is realistic and well thought out, and the story is gripping and intense. I couldn't stop reading once I started even though I was skeptical when I read the summary.

This is a story I'll keep coming back to.
