Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Animal Husbandry was a very, very good story.

But Evan's a good name, and it's not like people are going to be calling him by it much anyway.

It's true. I mean, it could have been worse. IE, Marcus.

Yeah, I was a fan of Nick, but I'm okay with Evan. I'm just glad to have it settled already.

This more than anything.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

You people should all be glad I'm sparing you from the Scrubs wingfic I can't stop looking at. I'm just saying. With a few well placed quotes, I could make you cry.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I can't believe I'm asking, but link?

Actually, I can totally believe I'm asking, because I know I have wingfic issues.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I don't understand wingfic. Or at least, I would understand it in, say The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe fic, but not in say, Scrubs. What is the impetus behind it? Is it like Daedulus and Icarus?

Punishingly Intricate

Not Wings the tv show?

Thrive to spite them

I haven't read a lot of wing fic, but I think it's sort of like "I woke up gay!" only with added wings. It's popular in popslash and I've seen it bleed over into Due South and SGA adn a few other fandoms.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Not wings the TV show.

I think it first popped up in LOTR, which, you'll recall, does not have winged people (although there are sapient creatures who do have wings, because, they are BIRDS). Actually, it might even have been in LOTR RPS; I don't read either so I coldn't say.

I don't think it's any crazier than, say, your average character getting a unicorn in his or her back yard. But just as obviously a preteen years My Little Pony-type fantasy.
