Summary: This is a stupid fanfiction and I shouldn't have written it. I have no shame. Don't like, don't read. // Abandon hope all ye who enter here . . . // (A little piece of silliness, wherein the above summary, dubious poem below, author notes and accompanying tags are entirely composed of existing AO3 freeform tags.)

Um, yeah. This exists.

Suri Cruise Live Tweets Haute Couture Noel by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Suri's Burn Book
Rating: General Audiences

Characters: Suri Cruise
Summary: Suri Cruise live Tweets her holiday party. Unfortunately Katie Holmes made the guest list, so Suri keeps her adoring fans informed of who's hot and who's not at Haute Couture Noel 2012. There are some Afflecks and Jolie-Pitts on the chopping block, but who's a winner according to this tiny diva?

I just love the fictional snarky Suri voice so much, even though the confluence of Suri Cruise and fanfic keeps making me think of The Liberation of Katie Holmes in which, ahem, massive spoiler happens. But this fandom hits my radically autonomous girl narrative kink hard, which shouldn't really surprise anyone on my flist.
