Fanfic rec: Battling Towards Contentment - by Miranda

TITLE: Battling Towards Contentment
AUTHOR: Miranda / [livejournal.com profile] mirandaflynn
RATING: PG
SPOILERS: Spoilers for Not Fade Away
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 optimistic ending, one that still rings true. This is how ME could have played things - if Joss weren't determined to always heap on the angst. Anyway, I've always loved Miranda's writing, and this plotty, economically told story will show you why. Go read. Be happy.
(Oh, and there's a sequel too, but I haven't read it yet.)

You're welcome - even though I regret having to inform you that there's a special hell reserved for people who spell my name wrong.... LOL.
Glad to see you're on LJ! Whohooo!

Hey, it's a matter of principle. *g*
