I'm humantales and your calufrax reccer for this week. All of the stories I'm reccing this week have been written by authors who haven't previously been recced here.

Story: Cautionary Tales for Incautious Children
Author: JayTheNerdKid bewarethespork
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 1,516
Author's Summary: A guide to fairytales (and how to interpret them) for the clever and discerning child or child-at-heart.
Characters/Pairings: The Doctor (11th)
Warnings: None

Recced because: This is an "experimental" story (according to the author's notes) which is made all the more chilling by the format. A meditation on fairy tales, hero/villains and points of view, it tells the story at the core of the fifth season of New Who, in a seemingly dispassionate voice and vivid detail.

Enjoy! And review.
