It's been ages since I read a story that I wanted to recommend - mostly because I don't read a lot of fanfic these days. This one made me laugh several times and I really thought the author had the voices down pat.

I haven't recced fic in ages, because there was a time when I didn't read a lot of fanifc. I' missed a lot of good stories that way and am only now catching up.

My printer ran out of ink. Thank god. Otherwise I might have considered producing even more handouts for my students. I think I'm going over the top with my 45 pages in 8 sessions... But now that I can't print anything out I can relax and just scribble a few notes on my post-its.

TITLE: Battling Towards Contentment

SUMMARY: post-NFA ensemble story that focusses on Illyria.

My comment: Miranda has a gift for writing happy stories that 'fix' things that went 'wrong' in the series. Anyone unhappy with the way AtS ended will find here a much lighter and ( Read more... )
