Why This Must Be Read: This is a missing scene/episode tag for Crusade that fills in a lot of blanks from the episode and makes them interesting in a fun and humorous way. It's told from Mitchell's point of view and includes the entire episode and a little beyond. The characters' voices really stand out, which makes it easy to see these scenes in your mind as you read.
I truly loved this story, but I almost didn't read it. A story about Mitchell and Vala from the episode Crusade? "No way," I thought.
So...why read this story now? Because
aurora_novarum always surprises me in a way that I don't expect. Reading this story, I was chuckling to myself, laughing out loud, and thoroughly enjoying Vala and Mitchell and Sam in a way that I sometimes don't when watching the show. I love the way she captures the characters' voices. Somehow,
aurora_novarum has a way of making me love stories I think I don't want to read and enjoy characters I think that I don't want to like.
