Day 6: Law and Order

[facethestrange]

Today it's not a self-rec either. :)

This fic perfectly portrays Tahani's pride and vulnerability in a way that is slightly sarcastic but ultimately warm and compassionate (which is the perfect tone for The Good Place canon). ❤

It is! It's both wholesome and funny, and all-around a really great read. ❤

I can't wait! I can read this when I can focus a little better. :)

Oh, it was lovely. Thanks for passing along the rec. I could totally hear Tahani's voice in my head throughout.

You're welcome. :) This author is so great at writing The Good Place characters. ❤ Here's another perfect Tahani fic that they wrote (I would rec it in a separate post, but it's Michael's POV and I want to keep my recs as women-centric as possible):
