** ''captainwhatever369:'' If you are a fan of the Strain, I would highly encourage you to to check out this very well-written story. It is an absolutely amazing read, you will be hooked in no time. Essenceanddescend is one of those rare authors who doesn't neglect plotting to get to the romance. All of the characters have been fleshed out wonderfully, especially Quinlan's characteristics were captured perfectly. A truly touching piece of writing, while at the same time packed with awesome action scenes, complex background stories and clever humor. After the story, you will never look at duct tape the same again:).

''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/8348572 A Savage Inconvenience]]'' by [[http://archiveofourown.org/users/essenceanddescent/pseuds/essenceanddescent Essenceanddecent]]
* Recommended by @/{{Ladykadilion}}, Theforgottensheikah

* ''Synopsis:'' The whole fic "A Savage inconvenience" is a two-part story by Essenceanddecent in Archive of our Own ([[http://5thinvictus.tumblr.com 5thinvictus]] in Tumblr), with the second part beginning to be written in March, 2017. The author has been writing it daily, and published it on the official Tumblr of the fic, [[http://strainingfororiginality.tumblr.com "Strainingfororiginality"]] (where you can find all the chapters), and also in [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn AO3]] and [[https://www.wattpad.com/347755799-a-savage-inconvenience-chapter-1-catch Wattpad]]
**"Mr. Quinlan finds himself in a most precarious situation. Alone, wounded and restrained, he is forced, yet again, to chose between his humanity and his survival. This story follows the TV Canon directly, taking place after Season 3. It also uses and expands upon existing Novels/Graphic Novels canon to weave it all together."

* ''Comments:'' Based on the final of season 3 of The Strain FX (post episode "The Fall"). The author has been writing it following the plot of the last book of The Strain Trilogy, "The Night Eternal". Being especially careful to follow aspects of the original plot, investigating both the {{mythology}} behind the series and the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/TheStrain books]] ( [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampires]], [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OurAngelsAreDifferent Angels]], [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Myth/HebrewMythology Hebrew mythology]], and even [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Myth/NativeAmericanMythology Native American mythology]] ), she is also collecting information on [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Mohs/SpeculativeScience technology and medical fiels]], [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Myth/ClassicalMythology classical mythology]], and even [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/CommonMilitaryUnits military aspects]] when is necessary, is the same with information from the show, books and comics, all of this to avoid mistakes with the continuity of the canon, and with the realistic aspect of the narrative, at the same time she was building her own original story. And what a story.

* This story is a Canon divergense, as a [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhatIf What if?]] story, introducing an OFC (Original Female Character), but as [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApocalypseAnarchy in every apocalypse]], the plot does not revolve around the characters, the characters are not more important than everything that happens around them; they don't own the plot, but the plot acts against their wishes, making of them mere individuals at the mercy of the plot itself. They have defects (both physical and emotional), obstacles, conflicts, traumas, and their own desires and opinions about what happens around them, which may or may not conflict with those of another characters, but always with a purpose, without losing sight of the whole plot or the purpose of all the characters, both original and canon.

* It is a fanfic that is classified for a mature audience, containing explicit violence and sexual themes, but it is not the most important aspect in the plot, but necessary in some points of it for the understanding of the past of some characters, their psychological aspects and their motivations, which explains part of the main plot.

** ''Theforgottensheikah:'' The Strain left it's audience thirsting for [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BetterThanCanon more]] after the trilogy ended with so many loose ends. 'Savage Inconvience' ties those up and even more, giving more depth and realism to the characters and their story. If you are still searching for the perfect fanfiction, look no further.

** ''Quinlantheinvictus:'' This fics has been one of the most populars in this Fandom, and one of the most well writer. This type of work is not the common one found in fandoms sites, this fic has been one of the best writing pieces I've ever had the pleasure of reading inside a fandom. Written and carefully worked, it follows an intriguing plot, without losing the rhythm of the narrative. This piece of writing is the best example I can find of a fan saying "if you want something done right, do it yourself." but at a level I find incredible. The story follows the essence of the series and books faithfully, the characters are carefully written to stay In Character, the interactions, original characters and actions within the story have a purpose, and the romance, which the same author was careful to highlight as Slow Burn, [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoveHurts is realistic]], being not the most important aspect of the story, but one of many aspects of the complex plot.

* ''Pairing(s):'' Original female Character/[[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/TheStrainTVSeriesMain Mr. Quinlan]]
