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.

I'd love it more if I wasn't so sure he

well, CLEARLY, but I still liked it. I think that I liked that he was willing to call her out in spite of that.

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

I probably took too much pleasure in her being called out. I think I'm wishing for all the characters on the show to fall, except for the MBA and FBI guys.

I have found something I'd throw my second bed over for. I want it badly.

Burrell! Right before I have to run out, I *finally* get to post with you to congratulate you on the birth of your son! At least I managed to do it before he went to school.

My mother is grumbling now, and she doesn't know why. She'd be delighted if I ever talked about a guy within five years of my age. She's relieved if I talk about a guy who's legal to drink in the US.

thanks, Nilly. it's lovely to see you after so long.

Isaac is such a great baby. right now he's awake, fed, and quiet. the perfect moment for a new mom.

eh. I think you can easily go as wide as 10 years. just ask Robin. She'd agree with me.

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you! My mother is. I didn't sleep with a teenager until I was 30. I got nothing against the younger man. Except my body.

But when you're 36, guys ten years junior also seem to be stunningly previously attached. Less so when I was 30.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news! The spots on my shirt were apparently water-based! I know you've all been holding your collective breath waiting to find out.
