Why This Must Be Read: This is a lovely, rich story set during the time Sam is stuck in "The Road Not Taken". Stranded far from home, and surrounded by people she doesn't know whether or not to trust, Sam is able to grab a brief refuge with the one person as becky puts in the fic "she can still help."

Becky marries the bleak view of the "Road Not Taken" world with a lightness of finding comfort in the every day moments. Her characterization of Sam in this bizarre setting is very natural. And the interaction between Sam and a Cameron embittered by his situation are mixed with highs of light banter to the strong undercurrent that forges a connection between them, no matter what universe they're from.

Plus, there's macaroons.
