* ''Synopsis'': Sometimes we run out of second chances... but sometimes we don't. On the edge of life and death, the Powers That Be grant Lucy one last chance to prove herself worthy of a happy ending by dropping her face-first into [[Forgotten Realms|the Underdark of Faerun]]... and right into the laps of [[~~Always Chaotic~~ Evil|the drow]].

* ''Synopsis'': Sometimes we run out of second chances... but sometimes we don't. On the edge of life and death, the Powers That Be grant Lucy one last chance to prove herself worthy of a happy ending by dropping her face-first into [[Forgotten Realms|the Underdark of Faerun]]... and right into the laps of [[Exclusively Evil|the drow]].

* ''Comments'': A well-written but short crossover that gives Lucy a much-needed chance to [[Earn Your Happy Ending|Earn Her Happy Ending]]. Unfortunately that's the main reason I recommend it; the execution suffers a little because Belisarius tries to take what should be a long and arduous story of atonement and compress it down into a bit more than 13,000 words; as it stands, Lucy's redemption epiphany feels very rushed and artificial. Still, if you're looking for a happy ending for [[Fan Nickname|Lulu]], you'll definitely find one here.

** Well now I feel guilty for never continuing this. I will say this: There's a reason it felt cheap, and Lucy's naive idea that you can simply decide to no longer be evil comes back to bite her and her unwitting companions in the ass. [[Killed Off for Real|Hard]].
