Story: In a Crooked Little House (or aren't we all)
Author: honeynoir
Rating: Teen/PG-13
Word Count: 21,813
Author's Summary: Once upon a time, there was a Girl, and she lived in an enchanted forest.
Characters/Pairings: Amy Pond, Rory Williams, River Song, Eleventh Doctor
Warnings: Alternate Universe, Character Study
Recced because: Yet another rec where the author (in my mind) just has that way with words that captures you, keeps you reading and breathless and blinking after you are done. Reality can be hard to come back to! And with this awesome fiction by honeynoir, reality is DOUBLY hard to come back to. This fiction is a fairytale. No names are mentioned, but then, you already know the characters. She draws on these characters in an intense fashion that leaves you pleased because you know them so well in your heart, but the slant of the tale leaves you wondering what lies at the end of the path in the forest. Will it be a gingerbread house? A wicked witch? None of the above? Or all of them at once? This tale left me shivering, raw and airless with joy, wonder, terror, hope, sorrow and that satisfied feeling one gets when done with a tale that is familiar to us all, yet is new every time you return to it. This is that fiction. Reality will seem so pale in comparison...
