First stop on my crack-van trip is my second favorite RotG fic (I'm saving my most favorite for the end of the month). The stories I like best tend to be long form, and this is no exception. It's a great speculation on how the RotG characters would act if things had worked out differently - specifically what would happen if the innocent, fun-loving Jack from the film were put into a series of situations in his 300 years alone which would drive most people insane, and *then* he met the Guardians. This work may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it does include attempted rape and sexual situations with dubious consent, but the recovery story (played out further in two subsequent works, "Shadows Wake" and "Vindicated") is a great triumph of love and patience over horrible experiences. One of the many little things I like about this fic is how Jack is a BAMF, a theme which is only lightly alluded to in the film and deserved much more explanation, which Kayasurin does excellently.
If you're not already familiar with the fandom, this is still a fascinating study of someone's descent into madness as a form of self-protection, and the beginnings of his climb back out.

Author Summary:
Jack didn't forget anything. He lost everything.
It set him down a different path than the one the Moon had intended. A darker, more violent one.
