Fic Recs: 3x08 "Oubliette"
May. 14th, 2018 10:51 pmIn honor of Lucy Householder, the doomed protagonist of "Oubliette," here are three fics with similar themes and content. All are stories about child abduction.
This is casefic. The POV alternates between the child and the agents who are searching for her. Beautiful writing, carefully constructed casefic.

The kind of love that we possess . . .
I love stories that use the third person limited point of view. Dryad uses this technique to devastating effect to tell the story of Tamar Davies, who, along with her mother, was kidnapped as a young child by a serial killer. She did what she had to do to stay alive. This is one of the most harrowing stories I've ever read.
