the author moves with a intense worldliness that is unparalleled in any other fan-work I've read. takes all the benefits of riding on a larger franchises' coattails (well-loved plot, pre-established character dynamics) and twists them in a way that is wholly unique; embraces the source material while carving out its own stories and messages and identity, building on top and yet diagonally. absolutely fantastic.
