Belated fic rec... "Parallel Intersections"

[mandolin]

Okay, this is maybe a week overdue, but just as I took my sweet time betaing it (again, I'm sorry!), I naturally took my time getting around to recommending it. Crossposted to goodfanfics.

Fandom: Charmed
Title: Parallel Intersections
Author: irenak
Genre: Drama
Spoilers: AU after "Centennial Charmed," mid-season 5.
Summary: "In which the space-time continuum is heavily abused and second chances are found."

Why I like this fanfic: It's a premise that, in the hands of a lesser writer, could have turned into a cliche, unrealistic fix-it ship. Instead, the story takes a different tack, exploring an unlikely and ambivalent friendship. Irena K did her homework on this one, and you can tell. Bonus points for a well-developed OFC who is not a Mary Sue by any means.

*sigh* Eventually I'm going to get these recs up on my site...

Well, I did like it that much. And you heard all my reasons in the rambling I capped off my attempt at beta-ing with.

As for Otakon... my apartment is the hotel for Otakon this year, so yeah. Which days are you going?

I'll be there from Thursday 'til Sunday. Will be there with a group (so that we may create fire hazards in our hotel room, yay!) but I'm sure I can meet up with you at some point.
