Victory, by X-parrot (PG)

I’d like to take a moment to thank shaggirl and stopawhile for allowing me to share the love, everyone who gave feedback to my recs and the stories linked therein, the authors who provided me with a wealth of fic to choose from (Go forth and write more!), and David Lynch and Mark Frost for being talented and crazy enough to get Twin Peaks on the air.

Why this must be read:

For my last rec, I’ve chosen one of the newest stories of the fandom.

In 2005, after seeing the show for the first time, xparrot wondered, “For the love of cherry pie, why is no one writing me Twin Peaks fic?” And then—Hallelujah!—she wrote this. It’s a post-series extrapolation, and emphatically not a magical fix-it, but it’s beautiful and heartbreaking in a way that’s very true to the show.

“Good will always triumph over evil. That doesn't mean it's a happy ending.”

Isn't there anything that xparrot can't write, and write beautifully besides? Sigh.

Coincidentally, one of her stories - in the Real Ghostbusters universe - is my last crack_van rec today....
