Why This Must Be Read: Remember when David woke up in Snow Falls and for a moment everyone was sure that he was actually James? Well, this story takes that thought and spins out a lovely, bittersweet AU where James knows exactly who he is, and who Mary Margaret and Regina really are, even if he doesn't quite understand just what it is that the Queen's done to him and Snow and everyone else.

Why This Must Be Read: In Farewell Sweetness rebrunja takes Snow's desperation and fears while pregnant and shows how James may have tried to reassure her and help her through it. Touching and bittersweet, the best thing about this story is the little details; the line about green apples slays me everytime.

Special Rec: 58/100
Why This Must Be Read: Considering how much of Snow's development, and Snow/Charming's relationship, takes place in the woods, it's no surprise that a lot of authors tend to focus on this in their stories. In And I move all directions we get to see Snow and Charming trying to deal with the curse the Queen has placed upon them by returning to where everything for them started -- the woods. A lovely, lovely story.

Why This Must Be Read: Another woods story, this is -- admittedly -- similar to the rec above, but here
tosca1390 gives us a slightly sharper tone to Snow and Charming's dialogue and a definitely more adult glimpse into how they might reassure one another. A different interpretation to a common theme and just as wonderful.

Genre: Drama
WIP? No
Special Rec: 60/100
Why This Must Be Read: The Way I Have Forgotten Back picks up directly after Charming's kiss wakes Snow in the pilot, and shows how things might have played out on their first night of ever, ever after. Some of this has now been jossed, admittedly, but the writing is still wonderful, the idea beautifully executed, and the image of Snow knighting James (and him pledging her his fealty) is one I would dearly love to see play out on screen.
