Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

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.

Nikita was wearing a black cashmere sweater, black floppy hat, black skirt Dior length, flat boots and an equally black jacket and she kept her eyes lowered as she wallowed in her mourning.

So she's wearing black?

black skirt Dior length

Wait, wait, wait. Dior is a designer, not a specific skirt length.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How tall was Dior? Maybe that's the length of the skirt.
