The Last Illusion

by ScientistWD
Recognized at last. In a world where Trixie is as mighty as she says, what does it take to see true Greatness and Power? From the pages of a clever book; the saga of Trixie and Ditzy Doo as they struggle to define what's most valuable in life.

Oh how History exalts its heroines.
The Great and Powerful Trixie is beautiful, intelligent, and skilled; an extraordinaire, literally beyond belief. Surely, her days are filled with venture. Surely, her life brims with intrigue and mystery. Surely, a magnificent saga would unfold for all to see if her actions and words were merely written down.
This story is about such a book, wherein Trixie does exactly that. With the lovely Ditzy Doo and a bit of help from History, the curtain rises on the Last Illusion.
Though History is seldom written without bias. Who writes this stuff, anyway?

(AU where Trixie is a bit different and magic is quantifiable.)
(I struggle with tags. I’d justifiably choose both Adventure and Slice of Life if I could.)
(Rated T for complexity rather than themes.)
(This story began before "No Second Prances" aired.)
