''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/265840/chapters/417798 Special]]'' is a {{Glee}}/Marvel crossover fanfic written by Miggy. It follows the Glee club (minus Sam and Lauren) as they discover that they have superpowers, and all the problems that result. It takes place immediately after the end of season 2. While it's primarily Kurt-centric, it has focused on many other characters. ''Incredibly'' dark, and absolutely brilliant. ''Special'' has concluded, as has the sequel, ''Death And All His Friends''. The successor, ''Not Miles But Days'', has begun.
