Broken Toys by The O' Hara (NC-17)

Hey, I'm Aly and I'll be your inaugural Veronica Mars driver. I'd say that I don't have an incredible fondness for Logan/Veronica and threesomes, but that would be an outright lie. I'll hopefully be getting in a variety of stuff though.


Fandom: VERONICA MARS
Pairing: Duncan/Veronica, Lilly/Logan, Logan/Veronica, Logan/Veronica/Lilly

Why this must be read:

Good AUs, that fully encompass the way a universe could have worked out, are hard to find. Even harder to find are such AUs that do this while only changing one small thing from canon.

In this case the small change is that Lilly doesn't die.

It seems deceptively simple, but it changes the lives of everyone in Neptune. And not necessarily for the better. It's a universe where Lilly is still pretty much ruling everyone's lives, only now it's in person and not from beyond the grave, and everything is all the messier for it. The fic also does incredible justice to Veronica, and brilliantly shows just how much of "our" Veronica was there all along, even without death and ostracism to give her a push.

It's perfect in a beautiful, gut-wrenching, and hot way. It's incredibly in character.
And ultimately Lilly's fate is all the more tragic, if only because you somehow expect her to know she's gotten a second chance.

Since no one else has: thank you for rec'ing this fic. I've shied away from reading VM fic, primarily because I love the cannon so much, but this felt real to me, worked on a number of layer, and its something I'll come back to. So, cheers!

I read this and loved it. It brilliantly paralleled the show without just retelling it. Thank you so much for the reccing this. I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of your set of recs.
