Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dr. No took place almost entirely in Jamaica.
Ayup, it was set there. I was giving the Jamaica Tourist Board speech (ita version) the other night while I was in the ER to calm myself down and distract myself from the pain--brief Bond recap: Ian Fleming owned property in Jamaica, and James Bond is the name of an ornithologist who'd written a book on Jamaican birds. Dr. No is set in Jamaica (filmed in Ocho Rios), and some of the short stories (Octopussy comes first to mind) are also set there.
Anything else you want to know will have to wait for extreme pain and you taking me to the ER. Those seem to be the ingredients.
Matilda looks calmly at home in that second picture. "This is my Emmett."

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Emmett and Matilda kill me. They are so sweet together!

You can call me any time you want me to take you to the ER. I live 3,000 miles away and I don't have a car, though.

If that is a required ingredient I hope we all wait forever.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
They are so madly in sibling love it's just... it kills you ded, being in its presence. It'll be very interesting, when Emmett is a bit older, to ask him about his only childhood and his dread of her and how her arrival broke him wide open. For her, he'll have always been there, part of the landscape of her family and her heart; he'll have a before and after that he can remember and maybe even talk about.
Requisite adorkably cute story: Hec recently played Harry Belafonte's "Matilda", which various adults have been singing snippets of to her for ages, for Emmett.
Emmett was completely, earnestly and utterly horrified. She's a terrible role model! She's a thief! She takes all his money and runs away to Venezuela! Matilda must never, never hear that song!

And Emmett's all "This is my Matilda. You don't have a Matilda. I do."
