This award is for the Alternative Universe storyline, all the stories that bring our riders into new eras, new settings and/or different roles from what we're used to. Cross-overs - thank you Dee! Yes TYR and other shows in a fic is definitely a story for this category. If it's alternative, the story applies. The story must be all done, unfinished stories will be rewarded next year!

And the nominees are:

Jamie

A Time For Change

*bright
Jamie takes the riders into an ordinary time and day and brings them there so effortlessly, like they tuly belonged there from the get go.

There's modern humor, sadness and dilemmas in the story. And best of all, it feels like they could be your next door neighbors (don't I wish ;)

Charla crafted a brilliant alternate story featuring all of the riders and their sudden dive into the 21st century and so completely dictated each character's reactions to this new and frightening world was.
