Five Things That Never Happened To Kerr Avon, by Belatrix Carter
It's practically compulsory to write something here saying hello, I believe, so: hi. I'm Katie, your friendly neighbourhood B7 dealer this month. I'm still bitter that most of the best fic is in zines which my status as a skint student means I can't afford, but hopefully there's enough left for me to rec that you might not have seen some of it before. :)
(I'd like it on the record, though, that my favourite B7 story ever has already been recced, which I consider very unfair. If you've not read it, GO. Seriously. If you're anything like me, you will never see B7 in the same way again. It's that good. But I digress.)

Why this must be read:
I'm a big fan of the 5 Things That Never Happened thing, and this is an awesome example of just why that is.
At their best, AU fic allows us greater understanding of the actual canon - by looking through a lense of what didn't happen, we get to see the real events in clearer focus. This one does that with a vengeance. It also brings its own kind of tragedy, which is just as it should be. This is Avon as he could have been, oh-so-easily, and for such a short fic, it packs one hell of a punch.
