Mxy! (Smallville/Justice League rec)

[out_there]

Dude, when it comes to happyminion?

I'm not sure if she's unadulterated evil or pure fic-writing goddess. Seriously, I don't know if I should be cursing her name, or preparing an alter where I can kneel and worship her awesome talent.

I just read the conclusion to the Mxy series. If you've read it, you'll understand. If you haven't, for the love of god and good stories everywhere, go read it. Now. Don't make me track you down and force you to read it. (I will. I really, really will.)

This? Is an *epic* tale, larger than life. It's got the works; superheroes and villians; love, friendship and hatred; action and romance; wonderful characters, sparkling dialogue and stirring descriptions. This is the type of story meant to touch you, to inspire you, and to rekindle your faith in human nature. This is the type of story that makes the effort of learning to speak, read and write worthwhile.

Mind you, I would not advise reading this at work.

I don't cry over a lot. For instance, I have never cried over WW, SN, SV, BtVS or AtS. (The closest I've come is sniffling over the S2 finale of Spooks.) I cried at Titanic and Hamlet, but other than that? I can't remember the last time I cried over a fictional story.

This? Made me *cry*. Made me finish reading it, and then I had to quietly disappear into the bathroom to have a quick cry and wash my face.

The big thing about it? It's a *happy* ending. I wasn't crying because the world was doomed. I was crying because it was just that touching, dammit. It was incredible, stunning and satisfying. It was the type of fic that forces you to *feel*; that takes you for a rollercoaster ride without even warning you to strap in first; it was the type of fic that completely convinces you that this was a story that you *needed* to know.

So, I'm still not sure on the evil/goddess thing. She ruthlessly manipulated my emotions until I cried. And she made me love every second of it.

Best. Pimpage. Ever.

Thank you *so* much, Annie. I'm still thrilled that you enjoyed this story that much. It's been a long, bumpy ride but you stayed with me and I thank you for that, as well. *hugs*

And as for evil or goddess, I'd like to say that's the Mxy in me. *winks*

Totally deserved.

*thinks*

So, in other words, you're both? *g*

Or, just a mischievous being from the fifth dimension...?
