Hansel & Gretel rec:
Cities of the Plain by
Not_YouHansel/Mina, Gretel, Edward, Ben, and OC townspeople; genre: action-adventure; rated Explicit; 18538 words
Summary: I'm going to be honest, here. I literally spoke the words, "I want to put them in fancy clothes and make them suffer." There is a plot, but this is mostly the story of The BAMF Twins Versus Civilization. It begins out in the woods, though, as so many things do.
Pretty much what I was looking for after watching H&G: an action-adventure right in the vein of the movie. This fic is fun! It's also extremely well written. They could practically film this as Hansel & Gretel: The Sequel. :)
(sidenote: plays fast and loose with things like Germany's geography. Heh. Then again, the movie is set in a much cooler pseudo-historical steampunky fantasy version of Germany, anyway.)
