Why this must be read: Because this story really gets to the heart of a too-often-neglected character, and defines her more clearly than the show itself does.
Fred is one of those characters fandom as a whole didn't really take to, for one reason or another. Partially because even on the show she's often more of a plot device than an active protagonist. The really impressive thing about this story is that it portrays Fred's amazing dramatic potential in a way that nonetheless is perfectly consistent with her characterization on the show.
This story, like a number of others I have recced and wil rec this month, came out of the "Five Things That Didn't Happen" challenge. It's one of the most successful challenge I've ever seen, because the stories that came out of it are almost universally wonderful. Of course, it totally helps that I'm a huge AU junkie.
It's *really* hard to find pictures of this guy. Anyway. The guy that Fred is pointing her weapon at is Dr. Seidel, her professor and mentor. She discovers that he opened the portal that sent her to Pylea, and wants revenge. Gunn kills him for her to protect her from having to become a murderer.
