Story 252: "Six Times Someone Learns About William" by bugsfic
This was recently added to the nomination post by rainatlas and seconded by badforthefish. Written and posted last year for xf_is_love month, this story might have been used as an example of darkfic in our recent discussion. I read it when it was first posted and liked it a lot. It begins well and has an equally strong finish.
Summary: Certain important moments were missing from the William arc. My attempt to fill them in. The rating covers adult language and situations.
At 18,000+ words, it's not a short story, but it's divided into six easily consumed chunks.
You can read it at two places.

She actually started a sequel which hasn't been updated in awhile. Maybe if we flood her with feedback...
As always, come back and let us know what you think, and please leave your suggestions in the nomination post.
