User blog comment:Weavillain/How Would You Approach a "No Such Luck" Fic?/@comment-26302585-20171005162349

So, by your logic, I guess that means my alternate ending to the episode isn't an "NSL fic".

Even if you think it doesn't count, I did avoid most of the cliches. It doesn't have any of the dark or edgy themes, no police involved, none of that. I guess the only cliche in it is how everyone feels bad for what they did, but I didn't make Lincoln act like he's completely innocent and feels bad too after seeing his family cry. I also didn't make anyone unlikable (well, arguably a little bit when Lincoln cofronts them, but it only lasts a few seconds). Unlike most fics, Lincoln wasn't reluctant to forgive them, and was rather easy on Lynn. I will say it's one of the more light-hearted fics based on the episode. Some have told me it's one of the better NLS fics, and I feel flattered.
