The Comeback: The Vanity Fair Profile by Yahtzee (PG)
Fandom: VERONICA MARS
Pairing: None major. Maybe a tiny bit of Veronica/Duncan.

Why this must be read: Because it's a brilliant take on the possible fallout from the S1 finale, and will sicken you *and* amaze you at the same time with Yahtzee's evil genius. It's a cynical but plausible look at how the events of the season may be perceived by the mainstream media, entirely in keeping with the noir ethos of the show. The format of the story--one of those insufferably smug Vanity Fair celebrity profiles--is inspired, and Yahtzee nails their smarmy, self-satisfied tone.
"So you think Miss Mars is covering up for Duncan?" I ask. It's late at night, and outside my hotel window I can see spotlights sweeping through the sky for a nearby premiere. "Do you think that's why she accused your father?"
"I think there's nothing Ronnie won't do for Duncan." Logan sounds almost sane as he says it. "She loves Duncan. Like I loved Lilly."
"Will you ever speak to your father again?"
The next several words Logan says are unprintable, even in a magazine for mature adults. Finally he calms down enough to say, "You know what he did. You KNOW. Everybody knows. But, see, it doesn't matter what he did – it only matters what it looks like he did –"
It's not my place, but I have to say, "Your father loves you, Logan."
"Love," he repeats, and from the lengthy clatter of plastic on plastic, I think it takes him a long time to successfully connect phone and receiver to hang up.
