Uranium in the Drinking Water

Fantasy alternate-universe scriptfic by The Angst Guy. The tale was inspired by artwork by Katie Cook and Kemical Reaxion.

Summary
As a result of radioactive contamination in the drinking water at Highland, Daria was born looking like a fairy, being only a few inches tall and possessing insect-like wings, though her personality remains the same. She also speaks in blank verse (unrhymed iambic pentameter), as do the fairies in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

"Uranium in the Drinking Water" covers the same territory as the first episode of the series, "Esteemsters," with the events changed to reflect Daria's new physique.

Winner of "Favorite Supernatural or Fantasy Non-Horror" story in the 3rd Daria Fanworks Awards
