Ex Libis by Hematitebadger (PG13)

Summary: Slay the monster, solve the riddle, save the princess. Fairy tales are straightforward except when they're not, and when a Trouble brings them to life in Haven, 'not' is the most likely outcome.
So Haven's run as a currently broadcasting fandom may well be over, but There Is Always Fan Fiction. And sometimes there is fanfiction like this, which could be an episode of the show, or an official novel of the show, if we just believed they might let that Slashy Thing between Nathan and Duke actually go somewhere.
Set back in season 3. Fairy tales are coming to life in Haven, Duke Crocker is owed a favour by a squirrel, and Audrey and Nathan have their work cut out running around trying to figure out the rules and fix the multiple different stories trying to play out within their abnormal little town. The author has made a real effort to stay as close to canon as possible barring the canon-divergence of the developments in the Duke/Nathan relationship, and if you haven't dipped a toe in Haven fandom before and are feeling the need for something to read after the finale, this is a good place to start.
