Why this must be read: This is an awesomely cracktastic crossover fic of Epic Proportions and many capitalized words. Written in the style of "A Series of Unfortunate Events", jennyo tells the tragic tale of one Rachael Pryce, daughter of Wesley and Lilah, who is Extremely Fated ("That meant that when apocalypses, interesting events, et cetera, came about, they would often center on [her]"). Just how interesting, you'll have to read it to find out. Complete with True Love, Judge Judy-like courtcases, Lilah homeschooling, Sydney Bristow's multiple marriages, faux!incest, Bree and Lilah's garden warfare, flying houses and Friends: The Musical! It simply does not get better than this!
I must warn you in advance that the story you are about to embark on is neither happy nor particularly uplifting. Although the young heroine, Miss Rachael Pryce, is an exceptional young woman who combines in herself the best aspects of beauty, brains, charm, et cetera, and is the loved daughter of loving parents who are themselves extremely enjoyable people, her life is one of abject disaster. I'm afraid to report that this will be a story full of unfortunate events, conflicts, bad language, worse behavior, close shaves, and an ending that veers tragically close to self-parody and resolves very little in the way of universe-dividing fights.
In short, Miss Rachael Pryce and her friends are family are doomed by Fate to live in Interesting Times, and while these are much enjoyable to read about, I fear they are most uncomfortable to experience. So if you are in the least disturbed by the idea of a young woman cursed by fate and parents who are not entirely without a sense of humor about this, I must advise you to find a happier tale.
So let us begin, not quite at the beginning for Miss Rachael Pryce, but with her most remarkable parents, Mr. Pryce and Miss Morgan, and the unusual contract they signed that sealed her fate as one doomed to live in interested times as a Fated Person.
You see, Miss Pryce is the daughter of an Evil Mother and Good Father, and they quite resolved their own quarrels and moral differences by marrying and entirely escaping their foreordained tragic fates. How, you might ask as an astute reader, could that happen? A good question, but of course with an easy and simple answer. It was by means of that phenomenon that vexes all honest authors and their desires for all sorts of obvious, downbeat outcomes and causes the best-laid plans to be scuttled utterly: True Love.
