Fandom: Caprica
Genre: General, AU
Length: Short (Words: 7,171)
Author's Summary:
Tamara is no one's sidekick.
Review:
Note: This fic requires knowledge of canon which I consider unfortunate since this is such a small fandom. How much knowledge? Meh. I wouldn't consider myself really a Caprica fan (meaning I've only seen it once and don't have a burning desire to re-watch) - I do love the feel of the story'verse though - and I could follow fine.
This fic really takes on the best qualities of the Caprica 'verse - that it is very dark but at the same time, it's beautiful and exquisitely detailed and this is a story'verse that throughly dwarfs its characters, even those characters who are driven to do big heroic/villainous things. I like that in this fic, you really get the sense of Tamara's not-quite-but-kind-of-actually-helplessness about a lot of things while she's also such a strong character with a drive to make things happen. Plus, this fic takes place inside the canon virtual reality, which is very cool in itself.
