Recommended for a well-executed and unusual point of view that gives a slightly, but significantly different angle to familiar events. Both heart-breaking and hopeful.

Because there’s the part where “canon” becomes “canon-ish” and the tragedy gets a little twist when a push comes from the right direction.
