I've been waiting all these years to be granted the cliche of a lifetime -- and now that I think of it, that may be it.
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

BATED breath!!! ARGH! She found my button! And I don't mean the joy button, either.
A prince, at his own funeral, is going to be dressed in frayed green jeans. Huh. I would so have screwed that up.
So, is loosing (argh! LOSING!) her mind not customary, or loosing it dressed so well?
I'm assuming the aplomb refers to her fashion sense and not to the wallowing mourning, or the squirming, pink baby.
Who dresses a child in pink for a funeral?? And why is Nikita's sanity stored in said baby? Or the baby's onecy outfit. Or perhaps the bow. If it's small.
I'm glad you skipped the (even more) sickening part.

Who dresses a child in pink for a funeral??
The same kind of people who wear yellow, because "black is so depressing." Said by my sister-in-law, at my father-in-law's funeral, with agreement by her husband, my hubby's brother.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
She's a baby girl. Of course she has to wear pink.

And she's a touching emblem of continuing life and love etc., so of course she has to be in a bright, cheerful color.
Yup, I could write the badfic whenever I like.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I'm just trying to picture her grappling with a squirming ball of sanity that's trying to slip through her fingers.

Like you lose your mind all at once, anyway... What?

Little Sarah wore a pink onecy outfit with bows and flowers, and a hooded coat and innocently gurgled at her desperate mom.
I assume she means Onesie, aka snapsuit. Now, I do have some Onesies with bows and flowers, and I have hooded coats, but if I were to combine a Onesie with a hooded coat, I think I'd also be putting some pants on the kid.
Otherwise, that'd just look pretty funky.
(So much to pick apart, and what gets me? The baby outfit.)

If I only had a brain...
She may be losing her mind with aplomb, but she looks *fabulous*!
And, really, isn't that what it's all about?

Yes, sweetie-darling.

I kept trying to parse it as 'flouncy', and failing.
